Catch Me by Lisa Gardner.
Another novel featuring Detective D.D. Warren. This time, while searching for a vigilante murdering pedophiles, D.D. must also deal with Charlene Grant, who believes she will be murdered in 4 days.
Found the identity of the killer to be far-fetched, but otherwise it was an interesting book.
4 stars.

Book #24 in 2012
Left Neglected by Lisa Genova.
This started out heavy handed and preachy, and I almost tossed it aside. I'm glad I stuck with it because it provided an excellent look inside of a condition (left neglect) that I'd never even heard of. More fine writing by Ms. Genova.
4 stars

Hold Tight by Harlan Coben. Read by Scott Brick.
12 hours.
When the parents of a teenager start spying on him via his computer, they get more than they bargained for.
Fast moving, lots of plots that get joined together at the end.
4 stars.

Book #21 in 2012 (Audio)
Live to Tell by Lisa Gardner. Various readers.
13.5 hours.
Another novel featuring Sgt. D.D. Warren of the Boston Police Dept. Can two family annihilations be connected?
I found the Victoria character to be tedious and annoying. Otherwise, I enjoyed the book and the various readers - something which usually annoys me.
4 stars.

Book #20 in 2012
Casting About by Terri Dulong.
More about the characters from Spinning Forward. Kind of a yawner about newlywed Monica whose world is upended when her 8 year old step daughter comes to live with her and her new husband.
Feel good tripe.
3 stars as chick lit.

Book #19 in 2012
Knit One, Pearl One by Gil McNeil.
More about Jo, the widowed knitting shop owner as she tries to navigate work, family, and friends. Not very interesting, but enjoyable. I like Jo's attitude about kids - loves them, but they are not ZOMG! the specialist snowflakes ever!
4 stars as knitty chick-lit.
