  Who knew the wicked witch was the good and Glinda was self-centered, and nobody really liked Dorothy. He twisted everything you assumed into something you didn't expect. I really liked it.

  This book takes you through the underworld of dog fighting. It was very descriptive and therefore very hard for me to get through. (I'm the type of person who loves animals and can't even get through the OSPCA commercials.) Without the terrifying visuals, the book was very fast.

  Not exactly what I was expecting from this book.The ads for the movie make this out to be a murder mystery,it's not.This book is about the struggles that everyone faces when someone they know has been murdered.Susie shows us her views from her heaven,as everyone's is different. Love,loss,and family,I liked the book.

  Not bad, was feeling a little let down with the ending. I dislike when an author builds up all this suspense to going after a killer, only just to end the book abruptly. Maybe it was because they were going after the "Wolf" whom we've met in other books. Fast but not my favorite.

  Third in in the Rune series, this I think was the best of the three that I have read so far. After a letter on her news desk is read, Rune believes that the man in jail for the murder is innocent. The twist? She's trying to free the man who killed the executive of the tv station she's now working for.

  I have to admit I didn't see the ending really coming, but the Deleware series seems not to intrigue me anymore, I'm wondering if maybe he shouldn't keep moving with the other characters that he has evolved in his other books.

  I don't know, her Scarpetta novels seem to be lacking a lot lately. Perhaps she should move on from these characters and try her hand at something new.
