We were introduced to Salvatore ' Sal' in "The Flight of Jimmy Eagleson" but we get to know 
and truly appreciate him in this second book of Jeff Delbel's trilogy. "Salvatore" reunites us with 
several of our favorites from the Jimmy Eagleson gang then strengthens the story line with new
, spirited and often unpredictably predictable characters Sal meets throughout this journey. And
 what a journey it is!
Following the principled, commanding Sal in his search for inner peace was anything but peaceful
. It reminded me of the Wild Mouse rides at the fair. Every time I thought the story was on a straight 
path it took a sharp turn. And then there's the shell game!
If you like your books filled with strong characters, adventure, fun, humor and a twist of romance,
 this is the one for you. Chins up, Jeff. You have another winner on your hands.

Delbel has done it again with another extraordinary fiction. I loved his “Jimmy Eagleson,” but for me
 “Salvatore” tops it for excitement. I’ll be surprised if some producer doesn’t pick it up for a movie
. Only Sal’s heart, nearly as big and strong as he is physically, saves him from destroying himself
 and others around him. But it's also a story of redemption and a love story — about a man's love for a brilliant, beautiful young woman, for his mother, his friends, and above all for himself. Delbel has another book in the works? Keep writing, Jeff Delbel!.

Format: Paperback

In Jeff Delbel's wonderful novel, Salvatore is called to the high adventure of self-exploration. As the story
 unfolds this emphasis upon inner development gives depth and richness to the story. At the same time
 the story unfolds in the physical world with interesting characters and vivid and exciting real-world 
experiences. The author has created a novel that can be read and experienced on several levels. 
And they all come together to create a truly memorable reading adventure.

Don't hesitate on this one buy it now great great read you will love it.

The Fix (Amos Decker series)Apr 18, 2017 by David Baldacci memory man 3

The Fix (Amos Decker series)Apr 18, 2017 by David Baldacci Memory Man 3


Amos Decker witnesses a murder just outside FBI headquarters. A man shoots a woman execution-style on a crowded sidewalk, then turns the gun on himself.





This is a very superior entrance in a great series. I just wish that the series continued to be as good as the first book had been. This series still has possibilities so I am not going to give up on it.

I really suggest that you read at least the first book in this series before you undertake this one---in fact since there are only three books I would say go for reading both earlier books before reading this one. Nevertheless, you don’t HAVE to read the earlier books to get into this one – it will just make it easier on you to understand Amos Decker’s quirks and exceptional capability.

This book is total thriller with a slight dash of illusion thrown in. A theft of our Countries secrets, spying, hacking, espionage, Russia- Middle East, murder and a story line a little too close to home/the truth for my taste! In the first book, we find how Amos came to have his ‘abilities’ and he goes from a cardboard box living, shell of a man, to this book where he is a productive part of a team that is part of the FBI and making friends. (with the likelihood of a girl-friend I think!)


The book as always grabs you from the first page. A need to, must read. I got this book Friday night & couldn't literately put it down. Just finished. 



Fantastic Characters and lots are twist. I have read all his books. By far one of his best work on this one. Can't wait for his next one. One of the best writers I have had the pleasure and luck to come across. Keep up the awesome work you do. A must, must read.

Turbo Twenty-Three: A Stephanie Plum Novel (Ranger had a big part in this book)

This book was so enjoyable - chuckle out loud fun - that I disliked to see it end! I love this author and I really like this series! If you are looking for something with deep significance, and hidden messages, this is not the book to read. But, if you want a light-weight, fun, and pleasurable read, this is your book! I laughed so hard from the beginning to the very end!




There aren't enough superlatives in the English language to explain how much I Iove Stephanie Plum novels narrated by Lorelie King. Evanovich is the funniest writer alive and Lorelie King is brilliant! She brings every nuance of humor out of the dialogue. Her characters are so vivid and well defined that you forget this is just a book and not real life. I highly recommend it.

MURDER HOUSE, by James Patterson and David Ellis Patterson's best book in 2 years

No. 7 Ocean Drive is a gorgeous, multi-million-dollar beachfront estate in the Hamptons, where money and privilege know no bounds. But its beautiful gothic exterior hides a horrific past: it was the scene of a series of depraved killings that have never been solved. Neglected, empty, and rumored to be cursed, it's known as the Murder House, and locals keep their distance. 
MURDER HOUSE, by James Patterson and David Ellis. The concept of suspense in this chiller is a 200 year old, abandon, scary house situated at No. 7 Ocean Drive in the Hamptons. Ex - NYPD undercover detective, Jenna Rose Murphy, is chosen by her uncle, Landon James, the police chief of the small town of Bridgehampton. Jenna has frequently been scared of exactly what she’s not sure—since her landing in this small town. As a very young gal she recalls traveling to the town in the course of several summers with her mother and father. She just lately come to affiliate the monster mansion with its gargoyles and spears on the roof with her dreams and sleepless nights. She feels something disturbing took place at the mansion that included her in some way when she was very young. Jenna’s first task as the town’s detective is to investigate the ferocious murder of a Movie mogul and his lover whose butchered bodies were uncovered in the mansion. Six more savage murders soon follow. The authors’ brilliant writing leaves the reader in the dark as to the killer/killers until the very last chapter. Patterson and Ellis formulated their characters well. The conversation is catchy as Jenna leads us on her voyage through the mystery with its page turning twists and turns. Patterson’s short chapters make for easy reading. Murder House is a excellent novel, the best the author has written in a couple of years. I give the story a 5-star rating.

"Make Me" Jack Reacher is at his best again in this action packed thriller

"#Make #Me" #Jack #Reacher is at his best again in this #action #packed #thriller out sept 8th
“Why is this town called Mother’s Rest?” That’s all Reacher needs to know. But no one will explain to him. It’s a very small place concealed in a thousand square miles of wheat fields, with a railroad stop, and sullen and mindful individuals, and a uneasy lady named Michelle Chang, who mistakes him for somebody different: her missing partner in a private investigation she thinks must have commenced small and then transformed dangerous.

Reacher has no specific place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, and there’s a thing about Chang . . . so he teams up with her and begins to ask around. He perceives: How awful can this thing be? But before long he’s stepped into a frantic race through LA, Chicago, Phoenix, and San Francisco, and through the hidden parts of the internet, up versus thugs and assassins every move of the way—right back to where he started, in Mother’s Rest, where he must encounter the worst nightmare he could visualize.

Walking away would have been less complicated. But as always, Reacher’s rule is: If you want me to stop, you’re going to have to make me.

He seems to have got off a train in the midsection of wheat country, for no greater motives than he liked the mysterious name of the town, Mother’s Rest, and that he’s got tried and true intuition for sniffing out problems. Lee Child’s Reacher series has struck Book No. 20 with a unquestionable stream of wisecracking entertainment (“Are you going to be a problem?” “I’m already a problem. The issue is, what are you going to do about it?”). Every little thing about it, beginning with Reacher’s nose for bad news, is as powerful as ever before.

Keep that in mind next time somebody tells you that Mr. Child, whose perinal tough-guy thrillers all adhere to the same fundamental rules, is just one more style type repeating himself in a mechanized way.

“Make Me” is a incredibly hot one. So was “Never Go Back” two years ago, but the tepid “Personal” (2014) came between them. Mr. Child does his best work when he endeavors into bold new obstacles, and “Personal” didn’t provide any. “Make Me” provides a massive one, but it takes its sweet time in exposing what, precisely, is underfoot in the vaguely menacing hick town that tempts Reacher.
There are indicators that this a heart forthe agricultural business there is five very massive grain lifts in a place that has very few folks in it. (Reacher guesses the human population must be a thousand. But we hear from only about a dozen people, all of whom wish he’d go away.) And there is one other visitor, a beautiful woman detective named Chang whose partner, Keever, has inexplicably vanished. To the surprise of all the moles in Mother’s Rest, who make phone calls reporting on Reacher’s location whenever they see him, he and Chang move into the nearby motel trying to determine out where Keever has gone.

Not much to operate with, is it? Specifically when Mr. Child has to summarize the basic things about Reacher that he’s said in each one of these books. What does he carry with him? Usually the answer is “Everything I need and nothing I don’t,” which can mean a toothbrush. This time it’s “a few bucks in my pocket, and four points on the compass.” He’s also inquired where he lives. (“Nowhere. In the world. Right here, today.”) And what kind of nothing he does. (“I travel. I see things. I go where I want.”)
This is the book that will take Reacher from the kind of wise cracking  his followers love and the physical violence that he comprehends (he actually hurts himself head-butting this time, another new perspective for the series), into the eerie concrete realities of 2015, not the ones Reacher learned in the last century as part of his military training.

He’s a fast study, but he has been unaware about a large, horrific, intangible part of the planet in which fantasies rule, no thought is forbidden and a great deal of people die. “Make Me” will surprise some of Mr. Child’s readers if they know nothing of the hidden world that Reacher detects. Clarity has always been one of Mr. Child’s strong suits. One of reachers better books read it.

Stephen King ’s Finders Keepers- Absolutely outstanding,dark, powerful, exciting novel

Released today
A outstanding,dark, powerful, exciting novel about a reader whose fixation with a reclusive
author goes beyond darkness and reality, a book about the electricity of storytelling, featuring
the same trio of improbable and winning heroes King introduced in Mr. Mercedes.
and begins King’s instantaneously captivating story about a vengeful reader. The master is
John Rothstein, a legendary author who developed a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who
hasn’t released a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is beside himself, not just because
Rothstein has ceased delivering books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold
out for a career in marketing. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of money, yes, but
the genuine prize is a chest of notebooks that contains at least one more Gold novel.
Morris hides the cash and the notebooks, and then he is put away for a different crime. Years
later, a kid named Pete Saubers finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill
Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must save from the ever more deranged and
vengeful Morris when he’s released from prison after thirtyfive
years.
Not since Misery has King competed with the concept of a reader whose obsession with a
writer gets hazardous. Finders Keepers is magnificent, heartpounding
thriller,very dark, very
suspenseful will make your skin crawl as only King at his best can do,this is one of King's
better books in years read it .
Massacre and also save the life of Pete Saubers from the clutches of a nearderanged
Morris
Bellamy. While the main thread of the story revolves around Pete and Bellamy, it also delves
deep into the plot of Mr. Mercedes and the massacre which took the lives of eight innocent
people, maimed three, seriously injured twelve and caused minor injuries to seventeen others.
Finders Keepers by Stephen King begins in the year 1978 with the murder of a novelist at his
New Hampshire cabin by a diehard
admirer. The cloistered eightyyearold
novelist John
Rothstein found himself awake when the privacy of his cabin was invaded by an obsessed fan
Morris Bellamy and two accomplices. Not content with the cash available, Bellamy wants to
make sure if the rumoured sellout
of his favorite character Jimmy Gold in the next Rothstein
novel is true, and the ensuing melee proved disastrous.
Bellamy’s plans unraveled when he was arrested and sent to prison for thirtyfive
years for
another violent crime, but not before he stashed the loot away. A high school student Pete
Saubers, whose father Thomas Saubers was seriously injured in Mr. Mercedes, and whose
family is struggling to make both ends meet, found the buried treasure and sent the money to
his parents concealing his real identity while keeping the drafts of Rothstein’s novels. All hell
broke loose when Bellamy is released on parole in 2014 and discovered his treasures
missing. It is up to King’s likeable trio of Bill Hodges, Jerome Robinson and Holly Gibney to
keep Pete from harm’s way and protect his family.
Finders Keepers by Stephen King is an ambitious and wellcrafted
hardboiled
thriller which
can be read as a standalone
though it is the middle book of a trilogy. Its masterful pacing and
riveting plotting makes it a heart thumping read, intensely thrilling and absolutely gripping.
Author Stephen King as is his wont, delivers a novel that has stunned me by its shrewdness
and ability to sustain interest.

Three best sellers that anyone would want

REVIVAL, by Stephen King. The ongoing partnership in excess of five decades between a blemished clergyman who is intrigued by electricity and a drug dependent musician whom he mentored as a child.
At last, a come back to the form of Stephen King we've been patiently waiting for.I'm one of the particular irritating Stephen King followers who says nothing is as great as his initial five books,
like I'm anticipating all people to stay the same author they were at 65 as they were at 35.

The cover guarantees King's "most terrifying conclusion, Stephen King has ever written," and that's a daring claim to make - particularly when placed up against "Pet Sematery" or "Salem's Lot." I'm not sure I would call the final result 'terrifying,' but I would absolutely call it horrific - with a capital H.Resd the book it is great

                    Barnes @ Noble for Knook


GRAY MOUNTAIN, by John Grisham. (Doubleday.) A downsized Wall Street lawyer joins a legal clinic in a small Virginia town, and becomes involved both in real people’s lives and in litigation against the coal mining industry.
In 1993, John Grisham produces a spectacular and suspenseful book, The Pelican Brief: A Novel, which centers around the killing of two Supreme Court justices, and the female central figure Darby Shaw undeterred by the dangers to her life revealed a deep-rooted presidential conspiracy. 21 years afterwards, Grisham comes back with a female character for only the second time in his amazing career as he created another incredible legal thriller, this time not focusing on the highest echelons of federal government but the inner pits of the dark and hazardous world of coal mining.

A WILL AND A WAY, by Nora Roberts. (Silhouette.) A matchmaking uncle leaves much of his estate to two distantly related cousins. Uncle Jolly had a really distinctive sense of humor. After his demise, he left very minimal to his immediate family members. He did leave the majority of his property to Pandora and Michael. Here's exactly where the sense of humor kicks in, they don't like each other. They burrow at each other. The capture in the will...they have to live together in Jolley's house for a interval of 6 months. The payoff...over 150 million. Pandora doesn't care about the money. Then she discovers out that if either of them declines, the money will then be broken down among the immediate family and another cause. Pandora knows that they will sell off everything including 'Jolly's folly', (the house). She loves that house and has many happy recollections there. Michael believes the same way. Michael convinces her that they can withstand each other for six months living in the same house but staying out of each others way as much as feasible. Of course, there will be rules to follow. According to the will, they cannot spend more than 48 hours apart or away from the house during the six months.
Things start happening..vandalism, getting locked in the basement, fake telegrams. And more. But then, when they don't scare...it escalates to attempted murder. Somebody is very serious about breaking this will. Read and find out. You won't be disappointed.
A good suspense mystery. I was unable to guess who did it until I was told. Pandora and Michael make two unforgettable, fun characters This is A book Nora spent some time on and developed like Nora can when she wants to one of her better books in recent years read it.

Invisible by James Patterson ,David Ellis  James Patterson's scariest, most chilling stand-alone thriller yet,Invisible. Absolutely everyone believes FBI analyst Emmy is insane because she thinks 100s of crimes are linked. What if she's correct.

Absolutely everybody is convinced Emmy Dockery is insane. Preoccupied with obtaining the link between 100s of unsolved cases, Emmy has taken leave from her work as an FBI analyst. Now all she has are the newspaper clippings that wallpaper her room, and her continual nightmares of an all-consuming fire.

That is, until Emmy detects a piece of evidence he can't afford to overlook. More murders are documented by the day--and they're all mysterious. No motives, no murder weapons, no suspects. Could one particular person truly be responsible for these unimaginable crimes?



Excerpt from http://www.jamespatterson.com/books_invisible.php#excerpts

Chapter 1

THIS TIME I know it, I know it with a certainty that chokes my throat with panic, that grips and twists my heart until it’s ripped from its mooring. This time, I’m too late.

This time, it’s too hot. This time, it’s too bright, there’s too much smoke.

The house alarm is screaming out, not the early-warning beep but the piercing you’re-totally-screwed-if-you-don’tmove-now squeal. I don’t know how long it’s been going off, but it’s too late for me now. The searing oven-blast heat within the four corners of my bedroom. The putrid black smoke that singes my nostril hairs and pollutes my lungs. The orange flames rippling across the ceiling above me, dancing around my bed, almost in rhythm, a taunting staccato, popping and crackling, like it’s not a fire but a collection of flames working together; collectively, they want me to know, as they bob up and down and spit and cackle, as they slowly advance, This time it’s too late, Emmy —

The window. Still a chance to jump off the bed to the left and run for the window, the only part of the bedroom still available. The enemy is cornering me, daring me, Go ahead, Emmy, go for the window, Emmy —

This is my last chance, and I know, but don’t want to think about, what happens if I fail —that I have to start preparing myself for the pain. It will just hurt for a few minutes, it will be teeth-gnashing, gut-twisting agony, but then the heat will shrivel off my nerve endings and I’ll feel nothing, or better yet I’ll pass out from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Nothing to lose. No time to waste.

The flames hit my flannel comforter as my legs kick over to the floor, as I bounce up off the mattress and race the one-two-three-four steps to the window. A girlish, panicky squeal escapes my throat, like when Daddy and I used to play chase in the backyard and he was closing in. I lower my shoulder and lunge against the window, a window that was specifically built to not shatter, and ringing out over the alarm’s squeal and the lapping of the flames is a hideous roar, a hungry growl, as I bounce off the window and fall backward into the raging heat. I tell myself, Breathe, Emmy, suck in the toxic pollution, don’t let the flames kill you, BREATHE—

Breathe. Take a breath.

“Damn,” I say to nobody in my dark, fire-free room. My eyes sting from sweat and I wipe them with my T-shirt. I know better than to move right away; I remain still until my pulse returns to human levels, until my breathing evens out.

I look over at the clock radio, where red fluorescent square numbers tell me it’s half past two.

Dreams suck. You think you’ve conquered something, you work on it over and over and tell yourself you’re getting better, you will yourself to get better, you congratulate yourself on getting better. And then you close your eyes at night, you drift off into another world, and suddenly your own brain is tapping you on the shoulder and saying,Guess what? You’re NOT better!

I let out one, conclusive exhale and reach for my bedroom light. When I turn it on, the fire is everywhere. It’s my wallpaper now, the various photographs and case summaries and inspectors’ reports adorning the walls of my bedroom, fires involving deaths in cities throughout the United States: Hawthorne, Florida. Skokie, Illinois. Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Plano, Texas. Piedmont, California.

And, of course, Peoria, Arizona.

Fifty-three of them in all.

I move along the wall and quickly review each one. Then I head to my computer and start opening e-mails.

Fifty-three that I know of. There are undoubtedly more.

This guy isn’t going to stop.
