I have read most (if not all) of his other fiction books and liked them all very much. I have had this one in my Amazon Wishlist since March, and it finally was published a few days ago. And this one didn’t disappoint me at all. The main character goes by Wrecker, he is 15…

James Patterson and Mike Lupica co-authored another book earlier this year, and I enjoyed that one. So, when I saw this one, I immediately threw it in my Amazon Wishlist and read it as soon as it was available. I didn’t even care what it was about! Jane Smith is a criminal defense attorney who…

This is the 4th book in the Jesse Stone series, and one of the main reasons I am reading it is that after Robert Parker passed away, a few other authors have continued the series. There are also movies (which aren’t great, but it keeps me amused) starring Tom Selleck as Jesse Stone and Viola…

This is the third book in the Jesse Stone series. Another murder is taken on by Stone and crew. This crime was a young girl, and again Stone and crew find the culprits and punish them. I am currently watching Death in Paradise also on Prime TV.

This is the second book in the Jesse Stone book series, and I am so glad there are more books and even movies starring Tom Selleck. Stone and his team have to solve another crime but this one includes a group of people who take hostages and one of the members of the group ends…

This is the first book of the Jesse Stone series, and I was intrigued by the fact that Mike Lupica, a James Patterson coauthor and author on his front, has written some of the later Jesse Stone books. So, I decided to read the first book and, I really enjoyed it. I was kept in…

Just like all the Alex Cross books I have read by James Patterson, this one had me hooked immediately and kept me in suspense throughout the whole book. This is only the 2nd book I have read by him that is coauthored with somebody else. The first was Mike Lupica and they have another book…

As soon as I finished his other fiction book, How Lucky, I started this one. No hesitation, and I also didn’t know what it was about and to be honest, I didn’t really care. The first chapter of the book tells you somebody did something bad. Throughout the rest of the book, we get introduced…

Sometimes, I need a break from all the nonfiction books I read, and I turn to either James Patterson for the Alex Cross books, Dave Barry, Carl Hiaasen, Anthony Bourdain, Fredrick Bachman, or David Wilson. I just so happened to see this book on my Kindle recommendations, and the title intrigued me. Then, I read…

This book has been in my Amazon Wishlist for several months, and on the day it got officially released, I was all over it! It only took me two days to finish it. Yes, I have read all the other books in the Alex Cross series, and really enjoyed all of them. Despite the title,…

Just like his 1st book in this series, Two Seasons, which I enjoyed, I also really enjoyed this one. It’s the same fun cast of characters, and most of the action takes place in or near Ma’s Diner. On a side note, I want to eat at Ma’s Diner, as the food she serves sounds…

I have already read one book by David Wilson, called Peanut Butter Memoirs. It’s primarily about his years as a law enforcement office in Maine. Well, he also has two other books about a fictional town with a bunch of interesting fictional characters. I really enjoyed his style of writing (as it kind of remined…

I read all the Alex Cross books by James Patterson as well as his autobiography, and I really liked his style of writing. As for Mike Lupica, I knew of him from ESPN and that he wrote several sports books. When I saw this book as an upcoming release in my Amazon Kindle library, I…
