Books From January 2013

★ ★ ★ Self Defense -Jonathan Kellerman
This one wasn't one of my favorites...it was a little out there. Not as much Milo and Alex interaction and I missed that.

★ ★ ★ Bad Love -Jonathan Kellerman
This was another decent early book in the series...it was pretty suspenseful and twisty!

★ ★ ★ I Is For Innocent -Sue Grafton
This one was pretty good...although the ending felt rushed for me.

★ ★ ★ G Is For Gumshoe -Sue Grafton
This one was quite suspenseful...having a hit man chasing Kinsey the whole time added a new twist to the mystery.

★ ★ ★ ★ H Is For Homicide -Sue Grafton
This one was pretty good. Kind of a different take on this series, but I still enjoyed it and once again, it was hard to figure out exactly what was going on til the end. I did feel a bit anxious about the situation that Kinsey put herself in.

★ ★ ★ Devil's Waltz -Jonathan Kellerman
Decent book from the beginning of the series but got a bit convoluted for me eventually and I was kind of looking forward to it ending...sad, because I love this series.

Books From December 2012

★ ★ ★ Private Eyes -Jonathan Kellerman
Could have sworn I had already read this one when I started it but turned out, I hadn't, or if I did, I didn't remember it. Was a decent story but seemed to drag quite a bit for a while.

★ ★ ★ ★ Victims -Jonathan Kellerman
Really liked the plot on this one...nice twists and pulling it all together at the end.

★ ★ ★ ★ V Is For Vengeance -Sue Grafton
Enjoyed this one even though the style was different than what I am normally used to in this series! Too bad it is the last one for now...back to earlier books in the series until she writes a new one.

★ ★ ★ ★ F Is For Fugitive -Sue Grafton
Really enjoyed this one too....the early books are quite good. Have to get the next one reserved at the library...

★ ★ ★ ★ Let's Pretend This Never Happened -Jenny Lawson
Am a fan of her blog and really loved this book and its quirky stories. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Books From November 2012

★ ★ ★ ★ D Is For Deadbeat -Sue Grafton
This one was pretty good....back to the first books again. I figured it out before she told me but was still sad to realize I was right.

★ ★ ★ E Is For Evidence -Sue Grafton
It was fun to go back to the beginning again...and some of the later stuff makes more sense. Great fast read!

★ ★ ★ ★ Time Bomb -Jonathan Kellerman
Somehow finished this one on the Nook even though the "rental period" was over...just didn't close the book and it seemed to work okay. Which is good because I would have been really pissed to have to wait when I only had 100 pages to go. Anyhow, another of the beginning of the series books and I really enjoyed it. It is great to see how the characters developed over time.

★ ★ ★ Mystery -Jonathan Kellerman
I thought it was pretty good...lots of freaky people to make up a good mystery...LOL.

Books From October 2012

★ ★ ★ U Is For Undertow -Sue Grafton
Not as happy with this one as some of the others. It felt like she left things untidy. She never cleared up the timing issue with what Michael saw and what really happened.

★ ★ ★ ★ T Is For Trespass -Sue Grafton
Absolutely my favorite so far...had me on the edge of my toes the whole time. I didn't think I would like the switch in point of view but it really did work and the antagonist was just perfectly evil! Well done, and would highly recommend!

★ ★ ★ P Is For Peril -Sue Grafton
Enjoyed the story line on this one...scary people Kinsey had to deal with, but the ending was a bit abrupt.

★ ★ ★ Silent Partner -Jonathan Kellerman
First Kellerman I have read in a while and this was one of the first ones he wrote. The story line was a bit more convoluted than what I am used to but I still enjoyed it for the most part. I am now reading one of his more recent ones and I like the evolution of his writing style better I think.

Really enjoy this series, even if I am not able to read them in order. I have three more on my Nook from the library.

★ ★ ★ R Is For Ricochet -Sue Grafton
This is a really fun series for me...love the characters and the mysteries.

★ ★ ★ C Is For Corpse -Sue Grafton
Enjoy this series very much...am trying to read in order but it is kind of hard when some are not available on the Nook.

★ ★ ★ S Is For Silence -Sue Grafton
Having fun reading this series...only have a couple more I can get electronically then will have to hit up the library for paperbacks.

Enjoyed yet another in this series...didn't know what was going on until close to the end. Nicely done by the author.
