I just finished an interesting book, The Shack by W. P. Young. The main character, Mack, spends a weekend w/ God in the shack his youngest daughter was last traced to after being abducted by a serial killer. Mack is a good man, spiritual but not particularly religious, weighed down by the sorrow of losing his daughter. The invitation from God gives him an opportunity to explore his personal relationship with the Trinity. Sad but ultimately beautiful, the book had me thinking!

I'm talking serious crime writing talent that will make you want to hit the sack early to get a few extra pages in...addictive.
Please check them out. You won't be disappointed and will probably be happily hooked on this literary genre for life...

Michael Connelly,
Lee Child,
T. Jefferson Parker,
Elmore Leonard,

Try the "Orbit" by John Nance. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down.

Its The Best Of Short Stories By The Above. Pretty Good - It Introduced Me To Some New Authors And I Really Liked A Few Of Them.

I picked up Dan Brown's Digital Fortress at a used book store and I'm not quite halfway through it, but it's really good.

I'm reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. It's in the form of correspondence to and from the main character, author Juliet Ashton, in the time directly after WW II. The characters all have that great English quirkiness about them. The stories told of the German occupation of the Channel Islands are sad and funny and poignant, all in one novel. It's a great book, I will be sad to finish it.

I really enjoyed this one. Have the new "Lost Symbol" on order!

Am reading "Olive Kitteridge", interesting short stories about the life of Olive. Set in Maine, I think I have the story figured out, and the end is different than what is expected.
