With summer here, I’m finding my
reading choices have shifted with the season. Recently I’ve been especially
enjoying some terrific romantic suspense books and thrillers. Who can resist Vince
Flynn’s political thrillers or the latest Jack Reacher from Lee Child? But
beyond the top ten of the New York Times Bestseller List, there are some great
beach reads that take a bit more digging to discover.
Speaking of Brenda Novak and Laura
Griffin, I just finished their recent releases and both were terrific!! In
Laura’s TWISTED a young woman police detective teams with a hardened FBI profiler to find the
twisted killer of young women. Laura knows her stuff when it comes to real life detective work and could teach CSI Miami a thing or two!
The hero of Brenda Novak’s INSIDE served fourteen years for a murder he didn't commit, but when he’s finally
exonerated, must go back inside a high security prison undercover to protect his sister and her kids. Add a woman Chief Deputy Warden who tries to protect him and…well, things do heat up
in more ways than one!

Thanks for the recommendations! I read and loved the Novak book (and am finishing the 2nd in her series: In Seconds, but have not read Griffin's.
I plan on buying the Murder 3 anthology(and visitig Will Simon)on Sunday so maybe I'll pick up Twisted as well.
Happy reading!
And you always have great recommendations, Sarah. I've discovered several new authors on your Kiss and Thrill blog. kissandthrill.com
Hi, Lark,
I'm working my way though some WWII-set novels lent to me by Pat Kay, but I know what I'm ordering as soon as I finish writing this comment: WILD by Cheryl Strayed. The book, an account of the author's hike along the Pacific Coast Trail, was recommended by Oprah, but that's not why I'm ordering it. I'm ordering it because I just learned Strayed is Dear Sugar, the advice columnist at The Rumpus. I'm a Dear Sugar fan. Here's what she had to say about writers and writing:http://therumpus.net/2010/08/dear-sugar-the-rumpus-advice-column-48-write-like-a-motherfucker/
