EYESHOT

Author: Lynn S. Hightower
Rating: 9

I really like Lynn S. Hightower and have also read her book "Flashpoint". Her main character in these books is Sonora Blair, who plays a Cincinnati Police Detective, and Sonora lives in Blue Ash, OH, which of course is where I live, which makes it even more interesting. In "Eyeshot", Sonora sets out to prove that a high-profile prosecuting attorney is a murderer and sociopath, and has you cheering her on throughout the book.

PLAY DIRTY

Author: Sandra Brown
Rating: 10

Jan's Opinion: I LOVED this book! Poor Griff Burkett, just released from prison, has a lot to live down. Pete Rose may have bet on baseball but Griff, pro football player, bet on football and is accused of throwing the Super Bowl game and no one is willing to forgive him. Someone offers him a very unusual job which pays very well so he takes it, thinking it will get him on his feet again financially. I don't want to give too much of the story away but trust me, it is well worth the read with a great ending.

LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN

Author: Janet Evanovich
Rating: 10

If you are a Janet Evanovich fan, especially the Stephanie Plum novels, you will love this one! It is my favorite so far. Stephanie's ex-husband, "Dickie", is missing and the powers that be think Stephanie had something to do with his disappearance. Of course she didn't, but not because she hasn't wanted to make him disappear! The Stephanie Plum novels are the only books that will make me laugh out loud while I'm reading. In fact, my husband has watched me enjoy them for years and has decided to try reading them also. I highly recommend this book and know you will enjoy watching Stephanie once again elude the bad guys by unorthodox means.

OBSESSION

Author: Karen Robards
Rating: 9

Jan's Opinion: I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I do all of Karen Robards' books. I hated to put this one down. The story is about Katherine Lawrence, who wakes up in a hospital after being beat up and finds she can't remember anything about her life. She soon realizes that somone is out there trying to kill her and she doesn't know why. The book had a surprise ending, which I always enjoy.
