Silver Girl Elin Hilderbrand

Yes! This is a book by one of my favorite authors.

Silvergirl is all about Meredith Martin Delinn. She is married to Freddie, the perpetrator of yet another Ponzi scheme. Freddie is in jail and Meredith has decided to take a sabbatical in Nantucket at the home of her childhood friend Connie.

Unfortunately there are several people on Nantucket who lost their fortunes to Freddie and they are bent on restitution of sorts. Meredith is hardpressed to keep her anonymity and Connie does her best by supplying Meredith with a wig and new glasses.

Ms. Hilderbrand draws us all in again. I did not want to leave the story and got caught up in the lives of Dave, Connie, Meredith and Toby. Each comes to the plot with their own hangups but the reader doesn't mind. After all, it's what makes the story more interesting.

Not my favorite Hilderbrand book--that spot goes to Blue Bistro. Nonetheless it is a good read.

The Blue Nowhere by Jeffrey Deaver

If you are into computers-you will LOVE this mystery. It was actually written several years ago but I just came across it recently. I could not put it down.

It's about a real savvy computer genious who uses his abilities to get down and dirty. He manages to get into people's personal computers and with his focus on terminating their lives. The more people say no one can break through their protective walls, the more of a challenge they present and the more he wants to prove them wrong.

The authorities recruit a prisioner to help them thwart the hacker's plans. Gillette uses all his talents to try to capture the hacker.

This is an interesting plot and a scary one at that. A good quick read that has turns and twists to keep you guessing until the very last minute.
