Having enjoyed several of Susan Wiggs’ recent books (especially The Charm School) I’ve been picking up her older works whenever I find them. And in Lord of the Night, I found a real treat. Sandro Cavalli is a Lord of the Night, one of the aristocratic aids to the doge of Venice who investigate crime…
I picked up a copy of Streets of Fire on the recommendation of Sandi Morris, AAR’s technical editor. She told me to expect a heavy read, but a good one. She was right. Sydney Foster is a successful businesswoman who has dabbled a bit in lost causes over the years. Her own history is as…
Aaron Elkins has written sixteen books, but I just discovered him. My Lucky Day. While Elkins’ other fifteen books deal with forensic anthropologist Gideon Oliver, Loot introduces a new leading man. Ben Revere is known as the Boston Art Cop because, as a former curator and an art historian, he has helped the police in…
You can’t tell it by my bookshelves, but once upon a time I was wary of trying new-to-me authors. When I started reading romances back in ’93 there were three authors I read, and that was it: Jude Deveraux, Judith McNaught, and Sandra Brown. Needless to say in three years I’d pretty much worked my…

Rachel Lee has made Conard County, Wyoming her own little corner of the world. The cast of characters who live there – Nate Tate the sheriff, Maude at the diner, Reverend Fromberg at the Community Church, have become old and dear friends and I eagerly await each book so I can see them again. I…
I’m just crazy about Harry – Harry O’Dell, that is, the hero of Suzanne Brockmann’s latest blockbuster. He’s a foul-mouthed, rough-edged, rumpled FBI agent from Brooklyn, out to save a dead man’s former trophy wife from the mob. Before you start reading this book, make sure dinner’s cooked and the dishes are done. You won’t…
