Book Review: The Testament by Eric Van Lustbader
It's hard not to enjoy a book by Lustbader, but disappointing that The Testament was so conventional.

Book Review: False Harbor by Michael Donnelly
Seek out False Harbor; it's one of the year's best mysteries.

Book Review: High Heels are Murder by Elaine Viets
Typical of this genre, reasonably well written and plotted.

Book Review: Effigies by Mary Anna Evans
Evans is masterful at weaving a historical thread through her mysteries, with this being no exception.

Book Review: High Heels and Holidays by Kasey Michaels
New readers are better served to read one of the previous books to appreciate the unique twist to this series.

Book Review: The Only Pure Thing by Patrick Hyde
This is not a typical legal mystery - and the better for it.

Book Review: The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen
A solid, effective, fast-paced plot with a number of unusual features that make it an above average thriller.

Book Review: A Fatal Appraisal by J. B. Stanley
Starts off strong, but towards the middle tends to meander, never quite finding its way back to its promising premise.
An ambitious effort that fails to deliver on its promise.

Book Review: A Trout in the Sea of Cortez by John Salter
It might not be categorized as a murder mystery, but it is an interesting if somewhat over-long work of fiction.
