Runner, A Jane Whitefield Novel ReviewI've read just about everything by Thomas Perry, and the Jane Whitefield books are my favorites. The brilliant Native American woman who takes people "out of the world" is back with an exciting new case. It's been a few years, and Jane must adjust to new realities (post-9/11 security systems, new Internet tracking capabilities, etc.) to help an abused, pregnant woman disappear from the ruthless people who are looking for her.
Perry knows Jane Whitefield inside and out, and everything she does in these adventures just rings true. Every new book is like a visit with an old friend, which is how I think of her. She uses her common sense while avoiding the thousands of mistakes most of us would make (phones, email, GPS, Internet, etc.) in making other people vanish without a trace. Of course, the modern world makes vanishing increasingly difficult, and Jane has to strive to keep ahead of all the latest technology that is her profession's enemy. This makes her a bit of an old-fashioned throwback--but it also enables her to get the job done. RUNNER is a fascinating addition to this wonderful series. Recommended.

The Madman's Diary ReviewInterior designer Judy Sussman specializes in restaurant designing. Although the competition is fierce, Judy has earned quite a good reputation for herself. Even though her professional life is near perfect, her personal life needs to be reengineered. Judy lives with her soul mate Skeet, but yearns for a husband and children. One day when Judy feels extremely depressed, her father persuades her to take a tram ride where she meets Benjamin Siegal. Both are immediately attracted to one another and want to explore a relationship. However, someone calling himself the Shaman wants her for himself and has killed any male who he believes has gotten too close to his Judy. As Judy begins to fall for Ben, she begins to wonder if she is the reason that so many men who were close to her died.

Thom Racina's latest novel takes off a rapid clip and never eases off the throttle. Although the villain fairly easy to spot, it is fun to observe Judy and her associates being led by a master puppeteer. The MADMAN'S DIARY is an exciting thriller with an unexpected ending that begs for a sequel.

The Malacca Conspiracy ReviewIt's the Fourth of July, and rather fitting that I've just turned the final page of Don Brown's new geopolitical thriller, The Malacca Conspiracy, as the book has a decidedly patriotic feel. With our nation's capital, Washington, DC, as one-quarter of the exotic, landscape quartet along with the far-flung destinations of Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia, Mr. Brown has the reader traveling the globe without ever having to leave the comfort of her bedroom slippers.
And true to form, the rockets glare and the fireworks explode off each page of this novel leaving me satiated, but still wanting more. From reading all five of Mr. Brown's novels, I have discovered that he is the master of the plot, moving the story along seamlessly with grace and detail, and the skill of the masters of his time. He had me chomping at the bit to know what was going to happen next.
The book has something for everyone. With a flair for the dramatic and penchant for sniffing out percolating controversy, Don Brown keeps the reader on the edge of his seat. Gentleman readers will love the high-stakes action and the geopolitical implications. Although the author has a knack for seeing the future having predicted the 2008 shooting war between Russia and Georgia in his novel, Black Sea Affair, I hope his crystal ball is on the fritz this time around, and our country is safe from the any of his fictional fireworks.
As for the ladies, don't be fooled by political and military undertones. The author has brought back two popular characters from his first three books in The Navy Justice Series, Zack Brewer and Diane Colcernian, and the sexual tension between the two sizzles like the burgers and dogs on your grill. Happy 4th and enjoy this and all four other Don Brown novels.The Malacca Conspiracy Overview

1080 Kiss Review1080 Kiss is a very entertaining read involving the romance of Morgan and Vince, both strong-minded individuals who have not previously been happy in love. The two meet when Morgan is hired to manage Vince's snowboarding career. Vince has all the potential in the world as he is very talented, but his unreliable and sometimes troublesome personality has prevented him from rising to the top.
The plot is full of surprises as Vince's rival becomes enamored with Morgan, and even a rock star gets involved as the story unfolds. The romance in 1080 Kiss is one that you root for as you grow fond of both characters. One point that meant a lot to me is the theme supports healthy relationships as opposed to self-deprecating ones.
The writing style is smooth with lots of beautiful descriptions. Having enjoyed snow skiing in the past, I loved reliving the vivid scenery in Steed's story. She is a very talented writer, and I look forward to her future releases.
--Lewis Aleman, author of The Anti-Vampire Tale, Faces in Time: A Time Travel Thriller, and Cold Streak1080 Kiss OverviewThe "God of Snow" has met his match. He never followed the rules. Vince Evans, professional snowboarder, is a black-haired, green-eyed charmer no woman can tame and no man can match on the slopes. Followed by a flurry of bad publicity and a trail of ex-managers, his Olympic dreams teeter on the brink unless he can orchestrate a career turnaround. And fast.Her rules were unbendable. After a year-long hiatus, public relations extraordinaire Morgan Price is ready to resume her high-profile job resurrecting musicians fallen from grace. A bad-boy athlete is not the type of client she expects-or wants. But then she sees a side of the "God of Snow" no one has seen before, a side she just might break all the rules of business for.Reviews and Other Information:"Angela Steed has crafted a shining gem of a contemporary romance novel with characters so believable they could have stepped off the pages at any moment and joined me for a cup of coffee." Kimberly Adkins Author of THE MEDALLION OF SOLAUS"1080 Kiss is anything but chilly.Morgan and Vince are very realistic characters with problems and pain in their pasts.The story is smooth and refreshing with dialogue that is smart and snappy.The emotions throughout the story are raw and vivid bringing the reader closer to the characters.Ms. Steed's first novel is very well done."Bonnie Petros Coffee Time Romance "I loved this book! I have never read Ms. Angela Steed before, but I will definitely look for her work. This contemporary romance was sensual, but not erotic. It was set in beautiful settings, which were wonderfully pictured for us. And the title-1080 Kiss? I'll let you read the book to see what that is all about!"Brenda Talley The Romance Studio

Up Country ReviewIt's true, this is not a typical Nelson Demille thriller packed with intrigue, espionage and murder, but it is a fascinating story and obviously a topic that means a great deal to him. Paul Brenner, from The General's Daughter, is back and is called out of retirement to go back to Vietnam to perform a vaguely described mission for his former bosses at CID. As a veteran, Vietnam is the last place in the world he wants to go, however curiosity eventually overcomes his misgivings and he agrees to the mission.
Starting at Saigon, Brenner proceeds to accomplish two missions, one official and the other personal. He makes contact with Susan Weber who is more than she appears. He also relives many moments from the days during the war, exorcising some old demons along the way. From Saigon he heads north, up country, visiting old battlegrounds and lending great insight to us, the reader, into what life was like as an American GI in Vietnam.
I found this book to be a fascinating and informative adventure story. With so much travelling done by Brenner, there is no time for it to become slow and boring. The actual reason for his mission to Vietnam eventually becomes of secondary importance as I got caught up in the country and it's meaning to Brenner. By the end, it really made no difference to me what the final outcome was, I was satisfied by the journey however it turned out.
This book is obviously of special importance to Demille and feels as though it's a kind of homage to Vietnam and the people of both sides who fought there. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, appreciated the humour in which it was told and respect the emotion that it evokes. I fell richer for the experience of having read it.Up Country Overview

Survivor ReviewIn its first half, "Survivor" uses the universal fear of a woman kidnapped and the subversive, taboo aura of snuff films to great effect. Our main character, Lisa, is separated from her husband in an unlikely ruse. Her kidnapper takes her to a cabin with the intent of filming her being raped and killed. Her life is briefly spared when an innocent walks in on the scene and the men involved -- her kidnapper, a cameraman and the "performer," a guy who calls himself Animal -- make a movie with her first.
This opening sequence is scary, horrific and suspenseful. And what Lisa does to get out of this horrible situation is just as shocking.
We get wrapped up in Lisa's survival, the stunning thing she does to save her own life, and her sweaty life-or-death predicament. But when it's over the novel jogs in place for a long time. Only to kick back into action with more violence that feels utterly empty.
Lisa's turmoil is affecting, but it never goes beyond the obvious weeping, and that's a big problem with the book -- we never get a glimpse into any of the characters. We never learn why people want to watch snuff films, and we never get to know why people get off on hurting others. Animal rambles on for ten pages, but it felt like a lame explanation. If you're going to tackle this subject, you have to come up with something better than the old "power trip" line of thought.
The book gets a little wacky in the end, as a cartoonish character enters the scene and does something fairly impossible, and overall where this novel ends up is rather unsatisfying and even a little boring.
I really wish Gonzalez had stayed away from the obvious course this book takes. Because its first third is so good -- a matter-of-factly terrifying situation you dread but can't stop reading that ends with a moral twist that makes you question what you would do in the same circumstances -- and then just sort of fades into the oblivion of cliches and bad revenge movies.
Gonzalez had a lot he could have explored in this novel, but in the end "Survivor" doesn't live up to the promise of its opening.Survivor Overview

Seasons of Sun ReviewA very good friend gave me this book to read over the Thanksgiving holiday and I couldn't put it down and read it cover to cover. A beautiful story of a young girl's discovery of her ancestry and nature's beauty. Her mother takes her to to her relative's small mountainside town in Greece for several consecutive summers as a teenager and there she discovers as much about herself as the world beyond her suburban Chicago. The author writes with ease and without exaggeration as well as with both a sense of humor and a poetic beauty that was lovely and fun to read. Highly recommended for women of all ages to enjoy reading during a weekend at the beach or to pack in your suitcase for a good read on your next vacation.Seasons of Sun Overview
When a shy American teenager travels with her mother to the mountain village of Vassara, Greece, after the unexpected death of a family member, she is overcome with grief. As she watches children chase balls across the town square and old widows ride atop donkeys to harvest fields of almond and olive trees, the young girl realizes she has stumbled upon a gateway to a new life.

What starts out as a holiday abroad quickly turns into the discovery of a magical place, where love and friendship endure through time and where traditions of an ancient world survive modern change to bring about an inexplicable miracle. Summer after summer, she cannot resist returning to her mother's homeland and the enchanting village that enraptures both her heart and soul. Nothing-not even a raging mountain wildfire-can keep her away from the people and place she loves. As she matures from a girl to a woman, she falls in love for the first time and faces a difficult choice between the familiarity of home and the enticement of an uncertain future.

SEASONS OF SUN is a coming-of-age tale that opens the heart to discovering life and love in unexpected places.

Haven ReviewIt's hard to know what to say about John R. Maxim's novel Haven. It manages to be both tremendously entertaining and frustrating at the same time. The books defies easy classification. The central story is more a love story than a thriller but the lovers are both assassins, though with different motivations. The beginning scenes of the novel are harsh, ugly and difficult to take. The book's finale is overlong and also hard to take because, at least for this reader, what happens is not pleasing. But in between there is a complex story, featuring violence, humor, pathos, and a variety of interesting characters. There is also a lot of great dialogue, although the imagined dialogues the lead characters have with one another tend to be a bit overdone.
I haven't read anything else by Maxim, but after this I plan to. Even though this was not a totally satisfying reading experience it was quite entertaining and anyone who can imagine somthing this unlikely and bring it off as well as he does, deserves an audience.Haven Overview

Tainted Trail (Ukiah Oregon, Book 2) ReviewTainted Trail is the sequel to Alien Taste and continues the adventures of Ukiah Oregon. When Alicia, a close friend, goes missing in Oregon, Max and Ukiah fly out to try and find her. They quickly discover that Alicia's disappearance is a kidnapping and begin a race against the clock. In their search for her, Ukiah finds out that he may be the legendary Wolf Boy that was lost in 1933. He tries to contact the Kicking Deers, who wrote the original newspaper article and offered a reward for information on Magic Boy, but they think he is another fraud and refuse to speak with him. Meanwhile, Max begins to fall in love with Sam, a private investigator whose ex-husband refuses to believe the marriage is over, and discovers that there have been many unexplained deaths in the area. Is there a link between Alicia and the other deaths? How are the Kicking Deers involved? What is Ukiah going to do with his "father" Rennie when he comes out to protect him? Another great mystery featuring Ukiah Oregon.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I got very attached to Spencer's characters in Alien Taste and was excited to see them again in this book. Ukiah is a fascinating combination of innocence and deadly skills. Readers will enjoy learning more about Ukiah as he slowly discovers who and what he is. It was also great to learn more about Rennie, Ukiah's main Pack contact, and his past. Max Bennett finds a love interest this time and starts to come alive again after his first wife's death. Sam is the object of his affections and I look forward to learning more about her because she is one tough lady. I did miss Indigo and Kittaning in this book, though, as they were back in Pittsburgh.
Wen Spencer has a nice, smooth writing style that reads very quickly and easily. She has a great plot that keeps you glued to this book and many subplots that add to, rather than detract from, this book as a whole. For those of you who haven't read Alien Taste, I highly recommend that you do (because I like to read series in order), but, if you haven't, you can read this book and understand everything because Spencer gives nice synopses throughout. However, it does not detract or bore those readers who already know what she is talking about. Tainted Trail has lovely characterization, nice descriptive details, an exciting plot line - in short, this book has it all!Tainted Trail (Ukiah Oregon, Book 2) Overview

Sudan, 2nd (Bradt Travel Guide) ReviewI'll be better able to judge after I return from Sudan but on the face of it, seems to be a well written and thorough presentation. Normally, I use Lonely Planet's guide though I used Rough Guide for Egypt and Bradt for Iraq. And I do like Bradt's approach and organization of material. They give a detailed picture of the country's history and are quite specific about current conditions. The book is more personalized than other reference books. A bit more than a compilation of facts. And I liked the maps. Recommend it.Sudan, 2nd (Bradt Travel Guide) OverviewMuch has changed in Sudan since the first edition of this guidebook was published in 2005. Following the peace agreement that ended the civil war of 1983–2005, southern Sudan is newly accessible to adventurous travelers. Bradt's Sudan continues to be the only guidebook dedicated to this emerging destination. This new edition offers full coverage of the southern towns of Juba, Malakal, Wau and Rumbek, and provides information on recently de-mined driving routes. It also details the increasing hotel and restaurant options in Khartoum, and Sudan's developing wildlife tourism industry.

Getting Even: The Complete Book of Dirty Tricks ReviewI loved this book, some other customer reviews here have said that the revenge tactics mentioned in the book arent practical and yes there are some pranks that require you to pose as a medical profesional at some medical supply store to get some obsecure chemical to give someone explosive diahrea or somthing. Others mentioned are deliciously simple. Most arent that hard but frankly really hardcore serious major league revenge is gonna take at least a little effort. The author isnt gonna do the work for you,just tell you how. I used several of the suggestions mentiond in the book, my favorite being the one where you take a sponge, soak it with spray starch then wrap it in twine tightly until its only a tiny fraction of its original size. Once dried remove the twine and find the tiny condensed dry sponge just waiting to be flushed down your marks toilet where it will expand once in the pipe and (trust me on this one) cause your mark quite a headache. Most pranks are along this line. Read the book if youre serious about seeking revenge, not seriously hurting anyone mind you, just causing your mark a tremendous amount of grief, embarassment or financial strain. The author even points out common mistakes people make when seeking revenge sometimes, like when he points out the best things to dump in someones gas tank to muck up their engine, and what things to avoid throwing in their tank because it will do little damage.

The Big Book Of Revenge: 200 Dirty Tricks for Those Who Are Serious About Getting Even ReviewI was disappointed to find that most of these tactics were either impractical or outdated or both.Some examples described in the book:A man who puts on a gasmask, knocks on a door in the middle of the night with a large toolbox in his hand while wearing a gas company uniform and yelling out warnings that the whole block is getting ready to explode. After the home's occupants dissipate he goes through the house placing cement mix in their toilets and scattering rotten meat throughout the house. Huh? In a day and age where you could spend a few years in the slammer if you mailed somebody an envelope full of baby powder?One example suggests that you should buy a chemical made by "Aquatect" which leaves a bright red cloud around anyone who pees in your pool. One small problem- no such chemical has ever existed in the history of the Earth. This has been outed as an urban legend over and over again, even on TV. (A chemical that in concentrations of less than 1:5000 would cause a bright red cloud when it comes into contact with small amounts of urea, despite the fact that it is in a gigantic vat of bleach water? Ummhmm.)On the good side however, you will find that the book is a very quick read and may offer some laughs, as well as possibly a handful of ideas on elaborate pranks. The guy actually has a decent writing style, he reminds me a little bit of Hunter S. Thompson. But the long and short of it is that there is no "Oh, now I've got 'em!" within the pages of this book. (Unless perhaps you are irked at a UPS driver who runs over dead dogs, and you wish to wire explosives in the carcass of a dead dog to blow out his tire as in one example.)The Big Book Of Revenge: 200 Dirty Tricks for Those Who Are Serious About Getting Even Overview

Seattle Survival Guide: The Essential Handbook for Seattle and Eastside Living ReviewI bought this book to gain a bit of knowledge about Seattle other than the usual "best hotels, restaurants, and other tourist-y things" you find in so many travel books. Couldn't have found a better book! It is precisely what I was hoping to find. Loads of info (and map/diagrams) on every major neighborhood and several surrounding areas! Chapters on things one would need to know if (like myself) they're planning on actually moving to (not just visiting) the city, like information on schools, housing, and jobs. Not to say there isn't plenty of handy information for visitors as well, though. Furthermore, with a book so full of information, it's nice to know that the writing style of the author is very low-key; reading it makes you feel like you're having a good conversation with the author, not just a lecture on the topic at hand. And the book itself is a very handy size. I actually have it tucked in my purse for continual reading!
Bottom line: If you're looking for a great book on Seattle, I say your search is over! Click "Add to Cart" with confidence, my friend!Seattle Survival Guide: The Essential Handbook for Seattle and Eastside Living OverviewThe Seattle Survival Guide boasts 13 chapters of information designed to help newcomers and residents negotiate life in the city. Chapters cover everything from buying and selling a home, public transportation, and schools to the food scene, bookstores and libraries, and planting dates. Completely revised and updated, the book presents a balanced picture of the city's benefits and drawbacks, offering up-close portraits of Seattle's thriving neighborhoods, booming housing market, and beautiful arts venues, as well as a realistic assessment of the traffic headaches, current economy, and job market.

I like the way this writer writes!Bannerman's Law (Bannerman Novels) OverviewThere is an affluent town in Connecticut where America's most dangerous men and women have "retired"--former wetwork operatives now scorned, distrusted,and targeted by the same government that created them. All Paul Bannerman and his people want is to live in peace. But there is no peace in a violent world. A Los Angeles film student stumbled onto something terrible happening behind the walls of Sur La Mer, an insane asylum for movie folk. Now Lisa Benedict has been silenced permanently. But Lisa had people who cared for her, people who know better than to blindly accept the official lies being passed out about her tragic death. She had a sister, Carla: one of Paul Bannerman's most efficient assassins. And Carla wants revenge.Bannerman and his agents have followed one of their own across a continent. And their search for Carla is leading them into the heart of the high-level conspiracy that snuffed out young Lisa's life and now threatens untold others. Bannerman and his team are a long way from home, the hunters and the hunted. But here, as in any urban jungle, the rules remain the same: survival of the fittest, the fastest, the deadliest and most ruthless--Bannerman's law.

The Chocolate Bridal Bash (Chocoholic Mysteries, No. 6) ReviewLee McKinney and Joe Woodyard have finally set a date for their wedding. The only problem is getting Lee's mother, Sally, to come. While trying to understand why her mother doesn't want to come, Lee unearths a family secret. Her mother originally left Warner Pier on what would have been her wedding day.
This is a chapter in her mother's life that Lee knew nothing about. Further investigating turns up that Sally's finacee was found dead in his car on their wedding day. His death was ruled a suicide.
Despite warnings that what happened is in the past, Lee's curiosity gets the better of her. She begins to spend time digging in the old newspapers, trying to make sense of events that took place before she was even born. Then Lee and Joe stumble over a very recent dead body. Whatever was having thirty plus years ago, someone still wants it to stay buried. But just what happened on that fateful night? Will Sally be in danger if she comes to the wedding?
This book is easily my favorite in the series. The action starts quickly and the pace never lags. While I can usually figure out the ending early, this one had me going until the very end. While I did put the pieces together a little before Lee, it was only by a few pages.
With the focus on the past, many of the characters from previous books are reduced to cameos. Giving the recurring characters more page time would have just slowed down the story, something I am glad didn't happen. The cast of new characters is engaging, and they more then made up for the reduced roll the regulars had.
About the only problem with the book is Lee's tongue tangles. While they had been diminishing in the last few installments, here they are back in force. While a few sprinkled throughout the book make me chuckle, here they began to get annoying.
I couldn't put this book down but raced through it to see how the story ended. Any fan of the series will love the latest tasty treat.The Chocolate Bridal Bash (Chocoholic Mysteries, No. 6) OverviewBride-to-be Lee McKinney has butted heads with her future mother-in-law over her upcoming wedding.

The Cobweb ReviewIn recent years, Stephenson's work has become increasingly complicated. The Baroque cycle is a study in intricate plots, characters that seem to number in the thousands, and difficult material that is not readily accessible to the average novel reader. The Cryptonomicon met that description as well, but to a lesser degree. While I enjoyed those books precisely for their complexity, many readers probably found them to be frustrating to read and difficult to follow.

The Stephen Bury novels do not present this problem for the casual reader. They are stripped of most of the technical lingo, and they tend to follow more in the footsteps of modern thrillers. The difference between these novels and the average Tom Clancy clone is that they revolve around powerful critiques of modern political cultures and bureacracies.
The Cobweb is the better of these two novels. The central critique of the intelligence community is that competence without political acumen is tantamount to career suicide. The book tracks the months between Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait and the start of Gulf War I and poses a terrifying question: what if the greatest enemies to our national security are the egomaniacs at the top of the security apparatus? Given the events that have transpired in between the writing of this novel and today, the question raised by this novel seems prescient.
The one thing that is lacking from the Stephen Bury novels is the decadence of Stephenson's other works. Stephenson is a novelist who has spent pages discussing the Captain Crunch-eating ritual of one of his characters (Cryptonomicon), the making of watered steel blades (the Baroque Cycle), and other incidental but vastly entertaining subjects too numerous to mention. These passages exquisitely sideline the plots of his books for an exercise in pure intellectual indulgence. Sadly, you will not find any such passages in this novel or in Interface.The Cobweb OverviewFrom his triumphant debut with Snow Crash to the stunning success of his latest novel, Quicksilver, Neal Stephenson has quickly become the voice of a generation. In this now-classic political thriller, he and fellow author J. Frederick George tell a savagely witty, chillingly topical tale set in the tense moments of the Gulf War.When a foreign exchange student is found murdered at an Iowa University, Deputy Sheriff Clyde Banks finds that his investigation extends far beyond the small college town—all the way to the Middle East. Shady events at the school reveal that a powerful department is using federal grant money for highly dubious research. And what it's producing is a very nasty bug. Navigating a plot that leads from his own backyard to Washington, D.C., to the Gulf, where his Army Reservist wife has been called to duty, Banks realizes he may be the only person who can stop the wholesale slaughtering of thousands of Americans. It's a lesson in foreign policy he'll never forget.

Alien Taste (Ukiah Oregon, Book 1) ReviewSet in the Pittsburgh, Pa area in the near future, this book is the story of the foundling, Ukiah Oregon. He was found caught in a humane wolf trap, appearing to be a young child, naked and gnawing on a rabbit. The woman who found him desparately wanted a child, and took him home to Pennsylvania with her.
Time has passed and Ukiah is now assumed to be 21 and is the partner of Max, a private investigator with a sad past of his own. Ukiah is an extraordinary tracker and has made a name for himself by finding missing persons. So the police call him in on a mysterious murder that turns out to be much more than it seems.
I don't want to give away any of the twists and turns of this fascinating book, but I will at least tell you that Ukiah finds out that his past is much more strange than he ever thought.
Great characters, interesting and well-fleshed out. His father-figure, Max; the mysterious biker gang, Ukiah's two Moms, and Ukiah's girl, tough-talking FBI agent Indigo Zheng--they are all just wonderful. And there is a conspiracy that any X-Files fan will love.Alien Taste (Ukiah Oregon, Book 1) Overview

Get Even: The Complete Book Of Dirty Tricks ReviewThis book is completely un-useable! I wanted a book I could use to play pranks on my friends and enemies - this publication contains "crimes" which no one in their right mind would endeavor to achieve without ending up in the can. It seems like Hayduke wrote it because there is a lack of "practical joke" books on the market and he knew it would sell regardless of the content - which is inane and mindless. An example of a totally ridiculous one is spreading some "human feces" on bread and feeding someone a [pooh] sandwhich. This is about as good as the book gets - and who is going to try that one?! I'm so upset that I actually purchased this God-awful book.
Advice for all you pranksters - If you must buy a book in order to learn practical jokes you can actually "play" get The Prankster's Ultimate Handbook by Erik Buckman. The gags within are all playable, enjoyable and it is truly a very funny read as well.Get Even: The Complete Book Of Dirty Tricks OverviewA hilarious overview of the methods people use to get even with big business, government and enemies. These dirty tricks range from the simple to the elaborate, including more sophisticated schemes devised by CIA and Mafia members and political dirty tricksters. For entertainment purposes only.

The Healer (The O'Malley Series #5) ReviewDee Henderson, you've done it again! The fifth book of the O'Malley series, "The Healer" will just captivate you! And if you've read all three books and loved them as much as I do, I'm sure you feel a part of the O'Malley family now!
The O'Malley family consists of seven brothers and sister, three boys and four girls. Since they were little they had been in the same orphanage and when they got out of the orphanage, they decided to 'adopt' each other, taking the name O'Malley as their family name. They all have very important jobs, Marcus is a U.S. Marshal, Kate a negotiator for hostage situations, botched-up robberies, etc., Jennifer is a doctor, Jack a fireman, Stephen a paramedic, Rachel a trauma psychologist, and Lisa is a forensic pathologist. This story is about Rachel O'Malley, 'the healer'.
Rachel O'Malley by the faith and prayers of her family is now a Christian. But being a trauma psychologist is a tense and stressful job. Working at disasters for the Red Cross, trying to heal the lives of children torn apart by parent's divorces, Rachel finds it hard at times to trust in Jesus to help her let go of the hurt she sees.
Captain Cole Parker, captain of a fire company who has spent the last few years fighting fires and trying to stop arsons. A devout Christian from a young age, Cole sticks by Rachel and helps her through the hard times. It is inevitable that they become closer, even reaching the point of falling in love.
But in the midst of Rachel of having to deal with the fact she might lose her sister Jennifer to cancer, tragedy strikes. When Rachel's sister Lisa O'Malley discovers a murder scene discovered in a flooded community, it is suspected that there may be a second victim. Things become worse when there is gunfire at a local school. Children are injured, children are dead, and what's so terrible is that the shooters were children. But the mystery begins when one of the bullets matches the one which had killed the victim in the flood. And that gun has disappeared. What is going on, how are the two cases connected? Rachel, Cole, and the O'Malley's must race to find the missing gun, before tragedy repeats...
Of all the books, I think that "The Healer" is one of the weakest in the series in that there isn't much of a mystery. I had already guessed much of the plot and most of the guesses were correct. But I must confess, this story is the most emotionally and spiritually touching of all the O'Malley books. From the aftermath of the shooting to Jennifer's sickness, there were moments where I felt like crying. Dee Henderson is a master at letting you get caught up into the story. The characters are likable, and I especially love Cole!
These are five books in the O'Malley Series in order, all highly recommended:
#1 "The Negotiator", Kate O'Malley's story. One of the best of the series.
#2 "The Guardian", Marcus O'Malley's story, the oldest of the O'Malleys. A great love story with an incredibly suspenseful plot!
#3 "The Truth Seeker", Lisa O'Malley's story, very suspenseful!
#4 "The Protector", Jack O'Malley's story, not as good as the previous three books yet still enjoyable.
#5 "The Healer", Rachel O'Malley's story.
#6 "The REscuer", Stephen O'Malley's story. One of the BEST books I've ever read!
Other books by Dee Henderson are:
"Danger in the Shadows", written before "The Negotiator" whose main character is the sister of Kate O'Malley's boyfriend, Sara and Walsh
#1 "True Devotion", the first in the Uncommon Heroes Series tells about the Navy SEALs.
#2 "True Valor", about Navy Pilot Gracie and Air Force Pararescuer Bruce.
#3 "True Honor", the best of the series so far with Navy SEAL Sam 'Cougar' Houston and CIA officer Darcy St. James.The Healer (The O'Malley Series #5) Overview
