LUCID INTERVALS

Title: Lucid Intervals
Author: Stuart Woods
Jan's Rating: 8

I love Stuart Woods' books starring Stone Barrington as the main character, and this one was no exception. Stone only slept with one woman in this book, very unusual for him. Why he doesn't have some dreaded disease is more than I can understand. Anyway, in this book, Stone is hired by 2 people, one is Felicia (the one he is sleeping with of course), and she wants him to find someone before her employer finds him and kills him. The other person who hires Stone is Herbie Fisher, and if you have read the rest of the Stone Barrington novels, you know that Herbie is a thorn in Stone's side. However, Herbie wins the lottery and gives Stone $1,000,000 to be his lawyer. Stone wants nothing to do with Herbie but he needs the money because he is behind in his bills so has to take Herbie on as a client. The book is suspenseful and entertaining.

SIZZLING SIXTEEN

Title: Sizzling Sixteen
Author: Janet Evanovich
Rating: 8

I love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels. This wasn't her best one but it was good. I love all the characters but I think Lula is my favorite for laughs. In this book, Vinnie, who owns the bounty hunter agency that Stephanie and Lula work for, has been kidnapped, and the kidnappers are threatening to kill Vinnie if the girls don't come up with the money that Vinnie owes them for gambling debts. The girls put theirselves in harm's way many times trying to free Vinnie, always with laughable results. I loved it and hope you will too.
