Title: Chosen to Die
Author: Lisa Jackson
Rating: 10
First I want to apologize because I have forgotten to post the last 4 books I read, now I can't remember what they were! Anyway, this is the first book I have read by Lisa Jackson and since she has written a lot of books, I'll be reading more of them. In this book, a female detective gets abducted by a crazed killer and you will be kept biting your nails through the book until you find out "who done it". I did not guess who the killer was so the ending was a surprise to me. It is 460 pages, but worth the read if you like a good mystery.

UNDONE
Title: Undone
Author: Karin Slaughter
Rating: 9
Karin Slaughter is an excellent author and I have enjoyed all her books but I have to say, she writes the goriest books of all the mystery writers that I read. So, if you don't have a strong stomach, you might not want to read this one. There is a crazy person who is kidnapping women and torturing them. I especially enjoyed the roles of the male and female detectives who are trying to find this crazy person. Sara Linton is the doctor at the hospital and has been a widow for 3 years. She has been in previous books and was married to Jeff, a policeman. Now that Jeff is gone, that opens up the field for Sara to find romance in future books, so I'll look forward to the next one.

MERCY STREET
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" 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).
