ROUGH WEATHER

Title: Rough Weather
Author: Robert B. Parker
Jan's Rating: 7

My husband has read all of Robert B. Parker's books and loves them, especially the "Spenser" novels. These are taken after the Spenser series on TV years ago starring Robert Urich. So, I decided to try one and did enjoy it. "Rough Weather" finds Spenser being hired by Heidi Bradshaw as her personal body guard/escort to attend her daughter's wedding. Of course you know the wedding is not going to go well, which it doesn't, and 6 people end up getting killed. You will have to read the book to find out why.

HOT MAHOGANY

Title: Hot Mahogany
Author: Stuart Woods
Jan's Rating: 8

I really enjoy Stuart Woods' books, especially the "Stone Barrington Novels". In this book, "Hot Magogany" refers to stolen antique mahogany furniture. Stone finds himself in New England with wealthy bluebloods who own VERY expensive antique furniture. A "Secretary" is missing and Stone is hired to find it. Of course he ends up in bed with a beautiful woman on more than one occasion, but I have found that Stone just can't say no. Good story, fast reading.
