LEVERAGE IN DEATH BY J.D. ROBB

LEVERAGE IN DEATH BY J.D.ROBB is the 47th book in the Eve Dallas series and in my humble opinion one of her best!  The book starts out with the suicide vest bombing of a group of two business execs , with , of course Eve and Peabody being the primaries on it.  As the body count keeps adding up, Eve is well aware that time is running out and another mass death is just a matter of time.  With a total of eighteen dead and the knowledge that the killers are setting up another kill, Eve & her team HAVE to find out who the bad guys are and stop them before they can kill again. 

I have been a huge Eve Dallas fan for a long time and LEVERAGE IN DEATH is on my "A" list for all time favorite so far in the series. 
 As the search for the killers intensifies Eve has her whole team on board,  Peabody, McNab, Feeney , Baxter, Trueheart, Roarke, and all of her resources are going into finding them.  One thing about  Robb's series is you can count on a bit of humor mixed into the drama.  Yes, the candy thief is still at large , stealing Eve's stash (I think its McNab!)  Yes, Baxter and Trueheart & McNab are making Eve's eyes bleed!  And yes, the romance is still there with the hunky husband Roarke!    Somerset  is back from vacation and the feud continues.  But the mystery, the murder and the chase is what makes me keep coming back for more of the IN DEATH series!

LORD OF THE WINGS BY DONNA ANDREWS

LORD OF THE WINGS BY DONNA ANDREWS, like most of Ms Andrews, is very entertaining and very fun read.  Meg Langslow, this time around is helping the village of Caerphilly celebrate another festival .  This time its the Halloween festival where not all of the ghosts and goblins are interested in candy!
 Not only does Meg get involved with another murder but a robbery, assault & group of vampires who are on what Meg thinks is a treasure hunt but is really a LARP (live action role play) Meg and her gang must deal with not only the trick or treaters but the LARPERS, a dead body or two and multiple mysteries.  A good cozy mystery to take away the blues and entertain for awhile.

I read , or in this case listen to Ms Andrews Meg Langslow when I need a good laugh and a good cozy mystery . The series makes me chuckle and I hope it will you as well.

THE GOLDEN BUDDHA (OREGON FILES #1)BY CLIVE CUSSLER

GOLDEN BUDDHA (OREGON FILES #1)  BY CLIVE CUSSLER Is the first in the Oregon Files Series or could it be the second?  We were introduced to the ship and crew of the Oregon in a Dirk Pitt novel so I guess in reality its the first in the series but the second time we have met the Oregon and her crew. 

The crew must steal the Golden Buddha, a very valuable and very big golden statue that originally  was given as a gift to the Dalai Lama but stolen and secreted away .   The Oregon crew must , not only steal the statue but MUST do it on Good Friday.  They must then get it to the Dalai Lama by Easter when the Dalai Lama is scheduled to return to his homeland of Tibet.  In doing this, they not only steal the statue but kidnap, lie, and drug multiple persons, including the Chief of the Macao police and very nearly start a war between China and Russia. 

Its a very complicated plot of a story but the humor mixed into it makes THE GOLDEN BUDDHA one of Mr.Cussler's  more entertainingly funny stories out there  & a pleasure to read and reread over and over!

DARK IN DEATH BY J.D ROBB

DARK IN DEATH BY J.D. ROBB is the 46th in the Eve Dallas series.  This book is truly dark!  You have a woman who is acting out her own version of an authors books & killing along the way.  Eve and Peabody have to delve into the series and the mind of this wacky woman to stop her from killing again and again .  In the meantime,  Eve and Roarke have the mansion all to themselves as Sumerset is on vacation and boy do they take advantage of his absence! 

I found the book a little laggy in places but the premise of the mystery kept me going as usual. 

FLIGHT OR FRIGHT BY STEPHEN KING

FLIGHT OR FRIGHT BY STEPHEN KING is a compilation of short stories by the well known , & not so well known  authors.  The book is dedicated to those pilots,real and fictional who got their planes & passengers on the ground safely !   Some of the stories will creep you out, like the first one CARGO by E.Michael Lewis and some I have read in the past like Richard Matheson NIGHTMARE AT 20,000 FEET. But, no matter which you read you will enjoy the variety of these seventeen stories.  Perfect read while you are cruising at ten thousand feet  or more in the air!

SECOND SIGHT BY AMANDA QUICK

SECOND SIGHT BY AMANDA QUICK is the first in the Arcane Society series.  This book, as with the entire series is written under the authors real name as well as her two nom de plumes.  I love the Arcane series.  SECOND SIGHT is set in the quote "Late Reign of Victoria"  Whether the reader wants romance , mystery or intrigue and a little bit of humor , you get all  four  with SECOND SIGHT.
