Title: Mercy Street
Author: Mariah Stewart
Rating: 8
This was a good mystery/romance book. It is about 4 teenagers (nice kids) who go into a park in Pennsylvania late at night and never come out. Two are found in the park shot in the head. The other two are missing. The police immediately think the two missing kids killed the other two and took off. The missing boy's Grandmother knows he is innocent, talks to her priest, who hires Mallory Russo to find the missing kids. Mallory used to be a very good detective with the local police department but something happened and most of the department turned against her. Charlie Wanamaker was hired to replace Mallory and ends up working with her to try to find the kids. Don't want to give away any more of the plot, but it was a good book and I think you'll like it too.

PURSUIT
Title: Pursuit
Author: Karen Robards
Jan's Rating: 9
This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I felt like I was running from the bad guys and every time I put the books down, I would tell my husband "I'm exhausted from trying to escape the bad guys". That's how caught up I was into this book. It is about the President's wife who is trying to get away from the Secret Service and no one really understands why. I don't want to say too much for fear of ruining the story for you but read this book and you will eventually find out why the President's wife was so afraid and what actually happened to cause the big accident, and what transpired afterwards was a chase you won't soon forget.

KNOCKOUT
Title: Knockout
Author: Catherine Coulter
Jan's Rating: 9
"Knockout" is another FBI thriller starring Dillon Savich and his wife Sherlock, both Special Agents with the FBI. A little girl (Autumn) is being hunted by her Uncle Blessed. He knows that she has a special "gift", being able to talk to people who aren't around her, which he also possesses. While working on this case with Sheriff Ethan Merriweather of Titusville, VA, Dillon and Sherlock are also trying to track down a couple of bank robbers who think nothing of killing anyone who gets in their way. I found the book exciting and really enjoyed it.

BLACK HILLS
Title: Black Hills
Author: Nora Roberts
Jan's Rating: 9
Nora Roberts never disappoints me and is a first-class author. In Black Hills, the main character is Lil Chance, who lives in the black hills of South Dakota. Lil's parents own a lot of property there so when Lil graduates from college with a PhD, her parents give her some of their land so she can build a wild animal refuge where she takes in exotic animals that people bought for pets, and animals that are injured, or have been mistreated. Of course you can't read a Nora Roberts' book without some romance and there is plenty of that with Lil's neighbor, Cooper Sullivan, who she has known since childhood. Now, this all sounds like an ideal life, right? Well it's not because there is someone who is out to kill Lil and release all her animals into the wild. I won't tell you anymore of the story but take it from me, it is worth the read (471 pages).

Emily Wallace is the prosecutor who finally finds the truth but almost loses her life in the process.

FINGER LICKIN' FIFTEEN
Title: Finger Lickin' Fifteen
Author: Janet Evanovich
Jan's Rating: 10
This has to be Evanovich's best Stephanie Plum book yet. The last two were kind of slow but this one kept you reading and laughing all the way through. Celebrity Chef Stanley Chipotle comes to town for a BBQ cookoff and is murdered. Lula witnesses the murder so the killers are after her all through the book, which is funny in itself. Lula and Grandma Mazur decide to learn how to make BBQ sauce and join the cookoff, hoping to help catch the killers. Stephanie spends half her time helping Lula and Grandma (which is one disaster after another) and helping Ranger find out who is breaking into homes that have his security system. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed this one!

SWIM SUIT
Title: Swim Suit
Jan's Rating: 9
Author: James Patterson
If you are the "faint of heart" type of person, then this book is not for you. It kept me on the edge of my seat all through the book. It usually takes me 2 weeks to read a book but I finished this one in one week. Beautiful model Kim McDaniels is on a shoot in Hawaii when her parents receive a phone call saying that a bad man had taken their daughter. They leave their home in Michigan and fly to Hawaii as soon as they can book seats on the next flight. The book takes you from one scarey moment to the next while you chew your nails away. I am definitely ready for a Janet Evanovich book now!
