Book #12 in 2013
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn.
Libby Day investigates the killing of her mother and sisters that took place decades ago. Her testimony helped convict her older brother of the crimes, but now she's not sure he's really guilty.
This was my least favorite of her three novels. The ending was too much, too coincidental. Had she chosen one killer or the other, I think it would have been more satisfying.
3.5 stars

Book #11 in 2013
Touch & Go by Lisa Gardner.
Tessa Leoni returns as a private eye investigating the presumed kidnapping of a wealthy Boston family, The Denbes. Is ransom the motive, or is it something more sinister?
4 stars.
About halfway through I was starting to lose interest, but then read the last 200 pages in one night.

Book #10 in 2013
The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom.
Parable about how the concept of time affects human, demonstrated by a young girl who wants to die and an old man who wants to live forever.
Short, easy read. Not sure this will have any lasting effect on readers, but I suppose it's a good reminder to smell the roses.
3.5 stars.

Book #9 in 2013
NYPD Red by James Patterson and Marshall Karp.
Fast paced, easy read. NYPD Red is the police squad assigned to protect and service NY's rich and famous. The beginning and middle of the book were very good, but it wrapped up rather clumsily.
3 stars.

Book #8 in 2013
Cat of the Century by Rita Mae Brown & Sneaky Pie Brown.
Aunt Tally's 100th birthday bash is interrupted by murder. Once again, the cats and dogs save the day.
There are too many characters to keep straight in these books. Other than that, I enjoy the stories and the animal interactions. Also, Sneaky Pie's author's note is usually great.
3.5 stars (I'm surprised about the negative reviews on Amazon due to politics. Although I don't agree with "Harry", it doesn't bother me to read about someone else's viewpoint.)
