ALEX CROSS'S TRIAL

Title: Alex Cross's Trial
Author: James Patterson
Jan's Rating: 6

James Patterson has written a lot of books with "Alex Cross" as the main character and I have enjoyed all of them. This book is completely different. Alex Cross is NOT on trial in this book so first off, it was a deceiving title. Alex Cross is telling a story to his children about his great-uncle Abraham Cross and his struggles living in the South as a black man. The story was interesting and sad since I'm sure this actually went on at one time, but that is the only connection to Alex Cross in this book.

FANTASY IN DEATH

Title: Fantasy in Death
Author: J. D. Robb
Jan's Rating: 8

This is another winner for J. D. Robb as she keeps us in suspense wondering who killed the computer wizard who owns the company U-Play. Eve's husband, Roarke, helps her solve cases now and it's fun to watch their interaction, which gets pretty steamy sometimes.

KISSER

Title: Kisser
Author: Stuart Woods
Jan's Rating: 9

I LOVE Stuart Woods' "Stone Barrington" novels, but I have to tell you, Stone is out of control. He sleeps with every woman he meets! Hasn't he heard of Aids?? Jeez! Anyway, if you don't mind a lot of sex in a book, this is a real page-turner as Stone tries to solve yet another mystery for another sexy woman.
