"Deception" by Jonathan Kellerman

I enjoyed the book, but am tired of the author. I think I'll take a break from him.

"Evidence" by Jonathan Kellerman

What can I say... "been there, done that." But this light reading is helping me cope with the misery in the beautifully written "Grapes of Wrath".

"A Curious Man: The Strange ...Robert 'Believe It or Not' Ripley" by Neal Thompson

I agree with the reviewer who described this book as surprisingly boring, considering the subject matter. Nevertheless, I think it was worth reading for the historical tidbits I picked up. And what a fine coincidence.... I read about Ripley's trip to the the Grand Canyon while Ray and I were actually visiting it.

"Bones" by Jonathan Kellerman

Of the books I have read by him recently, I think this was my favorite. Maybe I'm just getting used to his style again. And he does have the unique distinction for me of being an author who is able to keep my interest and not compel me to read the ending beforehand.

"Kamouraska" by Anne Hébert

I enjoyed this book much more in English, in my sixties, than I did in French (French class) in my twenties. The atmosphere, especially of a mad sleigh ride through the snow, is amazing. I remember it every time we drive close to Kamouraska on the way to New Brunswick. The book speaks volumes about the plight of women in the 19th century, especially of those with abusive husbands.

"Compulsion" byJonathan Kellerman

OK read during my Grand Canyon vacation. His books keep my attention, but he does keep Delaware and Robin's personalities at a distance. After awhile they are just too too.
