This is the 13th book in the Jesse Stone series, and the first by Reed Farrel Coleman. This one explores Jesse Stone’s baseball playing days and how one of his teammates ends up being a suspect in a murder case. Unlike all the other books, this one or maybe it’s Reed’s style, is a bite…

Robert B. Parker’s Killing the Blues – by Michael Brandman
This is the 10th book in the Jesse Stone series, and the first by Michael Brandman after Robert Parker passed away. That is one of the reasons why I was interested in this series, as a few other authors have continued the series. I wanted to see if I could spot the difference between them,…
Jesse Stone – Books 5 to 9 – by Robert Parker
Sea Change (5) High Profile (6) Stanger in Paradise (7) Night and Day (8) Split Image (9)
Wrecker – by Carl Hiaasen
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…
12 Months to Live – by James Patterson and Mike Lupica
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…
Stone Cold – by Robert Parker
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…
Death In Paradise – by Robert Parker
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.
Trouble in Paradise – by Robert Parker
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…
Night Passage – by Robert Parker
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…
Lion & Lamb – by James Patterson and Duane Swierczynski
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…
Catch – by Will Leitch
Since I had already read his two other fiction books, and really enjoyed both of them, I wanted to read his first one. But it wasn’t available on Amazon as a Kindle e-book, so I had to purchase a used physical copy. Once I started, it was hard for me to put it down as…
Sideline Confidential: A Novel – by Brooke Bentley
This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Although this a fictional story, it has happened to many females and males as well. So, basically, the premise for this book is about a young female journalist, Blake, who gets hired by a professional NFL franchise….
The Time Has Come – by Will Leitch
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…
How Lucky – by Will Leitch
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…
Cross Down – by James Patterson and Brendan Dubois
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,…
Swamp Story – by Dave Barry
I have read most of the fiction works by Dave Barry, and really enjoyed the humor and characters in all of them. So, when I saw this an upcoming release, I didn’t even read the description. I threw it in my Wishlist so I could read it when it came out. This was one fantastic,…
Ma’s Diner – by David Wilson
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…
Two Seasons – by David Wilson
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…
The House of Wolves – by James Patterson and Mike Lupica
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…
