Six Years by Harlan Coben

As a general rule, I thoroughly enjoy Harlan Coben's books.   I have often stayed up all night just to finish one that I am totally immersed in.  I didn't stay up all night for this one, but I did fit it into my daily routine.

Six years have passed since Jake Fisher met the love of his life.  He had to let her go because she married someone else.  While glancing at his computer screen one day, he sees the obituary of her husband.  Intrigued and not admitting the possibilities that this might bring, he decides to attend the funeral.  Much to his surprise, the widow is not "his" Natalie. He begins a quest to find Natalie which takes him back to his old haunts and into new territory as well.

This is a fast-paced mystery that hooks you in and you'll want to keep reading to find out all the answers, just as Jake does.

If you like Harlan Coben's writing, you'll like this one too!

Loose Ends by Susan Moody and The End of the Point by Elizabeth Graver

Okay, it's been a bit of time since I reviewed a book.  Suffice to say I haven't read anything that sparks my interest enough to write about it.

The last two books I tried to read are indicated above.  Both had sluggish starts and did not motivate me to write about them.  Both are written by new authors to me, althought both have been writing for quite some time. It may be just me on a lag in this department.  You may like either or neither one.

Loose Ends by Susan Moody is about a young women who was involved in a tragic automobile accident ten years before the start of the story.  She now works in a bar and is being harrassed by a frequent patron.  The story opens with the discovery of a body in a canal.  It has all the marks of a good mystery but it just didn't inspire me to read on.

The End of the Point by Elizabeth Graver is about the lives of three generations of a family.  The setting is a small strip of land in Massacusetts.  I found several interesting characters in the story but just as I became more interested in them, the author switched to another character.  The story read like a documentary and I wanted to read a novel.
