is that the author or series character?

I need a new crime/mystery series! I have finished the Harry Bosch series to date (all connelly's books actually) I have finished the patrick Bowers series! I tried to read the Alex Cross series and it was a little to dirty for me. I am looking for a mystery series in which I can fully throw myself into! something not too dirty, I don't mind the violence, I think thats part that makes the book, however I'm not so much into every other word being a F word. I know the Bosch series uses it but its like twice a book or so, also a little on the non-raunchy side. any help would be greatly appretiated(sp?)... thank you so much!

Read the first 55 pages of The Poet by Michael Connnelly last night, hope to get through a big part of it today!

If you don't bring Michael Jackson its not really a 80's 90's party!

I just finished this novel! I liked it, and found it very easy to read dispite the era it was written in.

I had the softcover and even when I put it on my passanger side seat on my way to work, it would make half my car lean lower!

I love second hand books. I feel that a used book has the history that makes me want to open it up. I also enjoy finding other peoples marks, notes, or anything else you randomly find in a used book. I also love the savings when buying used

I give up on a book as soon as I become bored. I try to go 2 or 3 chapters after I get bored, sometimes I don't make it.

Thank you very much I will check it out~ Uh~ which book is the first one?

Question: I was a fan of the first season on the television series Dexter. which i believe is based on the first novel. is this series of books raunchy? or dirty? other than the killing of course?

This is the story of a 50 Year old man, who's marriage is falling apart, he gets fires from his job and is in the Middle of a Mid-Life Crises. He decides he is going to take 1 last shot at his dream, Playing professional golf on the Senior PGA Tour! Let me just start by saying, i have forced my wife to read many a novel that she had no interest in. Finally, after deciding marriage is a equal partnership i decided to read one of hers. I throughly enjoyed this novel. it is short and to the point i believe 178 pages. It was sweet and i also enjoy golf. even if you are not a fan of the game this is a great story of family and overcoming the odds. and i would highly recommend to anyone the "Miracle on the 17th Green" Delightful 8/10

Hello Everyone, Have any other people read these novels i believe there are four now. In order they are "The Pawn" "The Rook" "The Knight" and "The Bishop". Has anyone else read these? I like them but it seems to me that the PAWN and BISHOP were fantastic, than the rook and knight were so-so anyone elses thoughts. i know the Bishop just came out 2 or so days ago, but it was a fantastic read and i recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed the series.

Has anyone read this, i am about 735 pages in, its a 1075 page novel. It remends me a lot of "The Stand" by King as well, but i believe its much more entertaining. Please don't give away the ending to the book, i just want other peoples oppinions about it

I think now that you have seen the film, it will make you appretiate the novel that much more because the film was leacking where the book is great

Easily The Poet by Michael Connelly

In your opinion. i feel otherwise.

I will definatly have to check this one out.

Dekker delivers another page-turner with this psychological Christian thriller about Kevin Parson, a 28-year-old seminary student who suddenly becomes the target of an evil nemesis called Slater. Obsessed both with Kevin's downfall and the number 3, Slater initiates a game in which Kevin must answer riddles to avoid Slater's destructive, potentially murderous retribution. Slater particularly wants Kevin to publicly confess a secret sin, and Kevin is at a loss as to what that sin might be. Once Dekker establishes this premise, he masterfully takes readers on a ride full of plot twists and turns. Not only does he spin a compelling tale of cat and mouse, but he also creates a narrative world in which it's possible that no one is quite who he or she seems. Dekker gradually discloses his protagonist's nightmarish childhood and delivers an almost perfect blend of suspense, mystery and horror. Dekker's prose is strong, putting him in a league above many other evangelical Christian writers and showing improvement over his previous work. Aside from following certain Christian fiction guidelines such as making his gorgeous 20-something characters entirely virginal, Dekker eschews most of the conventions of evangelical fiction. His spiritual message is subtle and devoid of the theologically and politically conservative agenda present in other novels. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc -Amazon- I just finished this Novel Last night, i have to say although it had its very exciting parts, i found myself bored 75% of the time. I really Disliked this novel, feel free to give me your thoughts, the ending was different than any i have ever read, so it had that going for it. Again though i disliked this book and i doubt i will read another Ted Dekker novel.

Dirty Diana - Michael Jackson

You see its funny, I am a Koontz man, I would like to point out however that Dean Koontz prefers to be catagorized (sp?) as a thriller/suspense writer and really dislikes being called a horror writer. Also Koontz and King are friends, and they have both done introductions in one another books. I prefer koontz personally because his stories are a little more realistic. While i will agree with you on one aspect King is a master storyteller, i believe Koontz is better at making sure you dont put the book done. I like a lot of the work King has done (my favorite being Desperation) but i have spent many a nights saying "well just one more chapter before i put it down" and end up reading 10. I just wanted to clarify i meant Koontz at the end about reading many chapters without the intention of doing so.

1. The Poet - Michael Connelly 2. Relentless - Dean Koontz 3. The Pawn - Steven James 4. The Associate - John Gresham 5. Arguing with Idiots - Glenn Beck
