Home Sweet Murder by James Patterson

Audio: 5.5 hours
Read by Peter Ganim

Two true-crime stories fictionalized by the author.  I really enjoyed this.  It reminded me very much of the earlier Patterson works, which I really loved.

Unrelated stories of two home invasion murders.

5 stars

4 stars.

4.5 stars

The People vs. Alex Cross by James Patterson

Why do I keep reading these?  Meh continuation of the Alex Cross series, this time with added ridiculous story lines about his son, Ali.

2.5 stars

Paradise Valley by C.J. Box

Investigator Cassie Dewell chases a serial killer until he blows himself up in an attack on law enforcement.  Or did he?

New author for me.

4.5 stars

Look Behind You by Iris and Roy Johansen

Kendra, a formerly blind psychologists (?), is called in by the FBI for certain cases.  This one is a serial killer who has used different methods in different areas of the country.  Kendra puts together the clues that the "dream team" of profilers can't.

I didn't like Kendra.  I wouldn't go as far as I disliked her, but I was kind of meh on her and all the characters really.  The plot was good, but I didn't call for the ending.

3 stars.

The Divorce Papers by Susan Rieger

Audio

This book did not translate well to audio form, too much reading of addresses and email info.  I probably would enjoy it in book form.

Didn't finish, so no rating.
