1st to Dieby James PattersonISBN 0786232919 (0-7862-3291-9)
Hardcover, Thorndike Pr

› Find signed collectible books: '1st to Die'Book summary:The Women's Murder Club pits four San Francisco women professionals against a serial killer who's stalking and murdering newlyweds in bestselling author James Patterson's newest thriller. Lindsay Boxer is a homicide inspector who's just gotten some very bad news. She deals with it by immersing herself in her newest case and soliciting the personal as well as professional support of her closest friend, who happens to be the city's medical examiner. The two women, along with an ambitious and sympathetic reporter and an assistant DA, form an unlikely alliance, pooling their information and bypassing the chain of command in an engaging, suspenseful story whose gruesome setup is vintage Patterson.
"What is the worst thing anyone has ever done?" the killer muses to himself early in the narrative. "Am I capable of doing it? Do I have what it takes?" Answering his own question, he embarks on a murderous spree that takes him from the bridal suite in a Nob Hill hotel to a honeymoon destination in the Napa Valley and thence to a wedding reception at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. Dispatching his victims on the happiest day of their lives, he purposefully leaves enough clues for his distaff trackers to discover his identity and put him behind bars. But just when the women think they've got the case all wrapped up, the killer turns the tables on them in a bloody denouement that even the most discerning reader won't see coming. Patterson, author of the popular Alex Cross mysteries, promises future adventures for the Women's Murder Club, which may give him an opportunity to develop his heroines' characters more completely and win new fans among those who prefer their detectives in high heels and lipstick. --Jane Adams [via]

› Find signed collectible books: '2nd Chance'Book summary:2nd Chance reconvenes the Women's Murder Club, four friends (a detective, a reporter, an assistant district attorney, and a medical examiner) who used their networking skills, feminine intuition, and professional wiles to solve a baffling series of murders in 1st to Die. This time, the murders of two African Americans, a little girl and an old woman, bear all the signs of a serial killer for Lindsay Boxer, newly promoted to lieutenant of San Francisco's homicide squad. But there's an odd detail she finds even more disturbing: both victims were related to city cops. A symbol glimpsed at both murder scenes leads to a racist hate group, but the taunting killer strikes again and again, leaving deliberate clues and eluding the police ever more cleverly. In the meantime, each of the women has a personal stake at risk--and the killer knows who they are.
2nd Chance speeds along at a Formula One pace through many tight curves, but unlike recent entries in the Alex Cross series, it doesn't sacrifice good characters to a twisted plot. Lindsay's the star, but there's a fine esprit de corps among the four women, who are even better developed here than in the first book. What makes them both convincing and interesting as a criminal-justice juggernaut is their willingness to stick their necks out, even if they suffer for it. If you haven't picked up a James Patterson novel in a while, this is a great time to start anew. --Barrie Trinkle [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Hour Game'Book summary:Two disgraced former Secret Service officers team up to solve a series of copy-cat crimes in this exciting new thriller by a master of the game. Sean King was momentarily distracted when a presidential candidate he'd been guarding was assassinated a few feet from where he stood, and Michelle Maxwell left the Service under a similar cloud when she lost a "protectee" to an ingenious kidnapping scheme, events told in Baldacci's typical terse, fast-paced style in Split Second. Now partners in a private investigation firm in a small Virginia town, they're hired to investigate a burglary at the home of a wealthy local family. But even before the chief suspect in the break-in meets his death in a gruesome slaying reminiscent of a serial killer long since caught and punished, King and Maxwell get caught up in a string of other murders, each of which copies the techniques of another madman, from San Francisco's Zodiac Killer to Chicago's infamous John Wayne Gacy. While the two protagonists aren't especially complex or well-developed, the action never stops, and Baldacci's trademark pacing keeps the reader turning pages until the denouement, which unfortunately isn't quite as satisfying as the rest of the novel. --Jane Adams

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Mermaid Chair'Book summary:Sue Monk Kidd's The Mermaid Chair is the soulful tale of Jessie Sullivan, a middle-aged woman whose stifled dreams and desires take shape during an extended stay on Egret Island, where she is caring for her troubled mother, Nelle. Like Kidd's stunning debut novel, The Secret Life of Bees, her highly anticipated follow up evokes the same magical sense of whimsy and poignancy.
While Kidd places an obvious importance on the role of mysticism and legend in this tale, including the mysterious mermaid's chair at the center of the island's history, the relationships between characters is what gives this novel its true weight. Once she returns to her childhood home, Jessie is forced to confront not only her relationship with her estranged mother, but her other emotional ties as well. After decades of marriage to Hugh, her practical yet conventional husband, Jessie starts to question whether she is craving an independence she never had the chance to experience. After she meets Brother Thomas, a handsome monk who has yet to take his final vows, Jessie is forced to decide whether passion can coexist with comfort, or if the two are mutually exclusive. As her soul begins to reawaken, Jessie must also confront the circumstances of her father's death, a tragedy that continues to haunt Jessie and Nelle over thirty years later.
By boldly tackling such major themes as love, betrayal, grief, and forgiveness, The Mermaid Chair forces readers to question whether moral issues can always be interpreted in black or white. It is this ability to so gracefully present multiple sides of a story that reinforces Kidd's reputation as a well-respected modern literary voice. --Gisele Toueg [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper - Case Closed'Book summary:A New York Times Bestseller
Between August and November 1888, at least seven women were murdered in London's Whitechapel district. The gruesome nature of their deaths caused panic and fear in the East End for months, and gave rise to the sobriquet that was to become shorthand for a serial killer -- Jack the Ripper.
For over a hundred years the murders have remained among the world's greatest unsolved crimes, and a wealth of theories have been posited which have pointed the finger at royalty, a barber, a doctor, a woman and an artist.
By applying her formidable range of forensic and technical skills, Patricia Cornwell presents us with the hard evidence that the perpetrator was the world-famous artist Walter Sickert.
Using techniques unknown in the late-Victorian age, Cornwell exposes Sickert as the author of the infamous Ripper letters. She also examines how his birth defects, genital surgical interventions, and their effects on his upbringing become a casebook example of how a psychopathic killer is created. [via]

They enlist Kinsey's help in identifying the victim, a young woman who was murdered and left for dead in the old quarry of the title. Neither they nor Kinsey expect that reopening an old case will incite the killer to strike again--not once, but twice. And while the real case of the still-unidentified victim that inspired this fictionalized scenario continues to languish in the cold case file in the Santa Barbara sheriff's office, Grafton's solution is as plausible as any. While the unlikely trio of Millhone and her cranky geezer sidekicks offers a few chuckles, the inner reaches of Kinsey's soul remain largely inaccessible to her as well as to the reader, which will probably not bother most of Kinsey's or Grafton's many admirers. --Jane Adams [via]

Torie O'Shea-- genealogist and amateur sleuth-- is having a killer of a day. The town gossip spreads the word that her sweet wheelchair-bound mother is having an affair-- with the sheriff! Then quiet Marie Dijon is found dead at the foot of her basement stairs. Did she fall? Was she pushed? All Torie knows is that Marie had a family tree with royal roots completely foreign to a folksy Middle America town like New Kassel, Missouri. As foreign as, say...murder.
But nosiness in New Kassel is as native as the upcoming Oktoberfest. To Torie, the open door to Marie's house is more tempting than chocolate. Finding a hidden key and old documents in French make further investigating irresistible. But while juggling her growing suspicions, a hectic job at the historical society, two kids, and a sexy husband, Torie overlooks the obvious. Curiosity killed the cat. Someone killed Marie Dijon. And now Torie might know too much to live... -

› Find signed collectible books: 'When the Wind Blows'Book summary:When the Wind Blows has one of those outrageous premises that you either buy into (a girl with wings?), or you don't. Fortunately, Blair Brown's narration helps you suspend disbelief. Brown, the multi-Emmy-nominated star of the classic TV series The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, reads the story with more authority than the plot seems to merit. But as urgent and forceful as she is with the central narration, she's even better when reading the first-person passages in the voice of Frannie O'Neill, the widowed veterinarian at the center of this James Patterson thriller. That's when she gives the story real heart, a desperately needed humanity in the midst of all the cloning and genetic tinkering. (Running time: six hours, four cassettes) --Lou Schuler [via]

Brandherdby Patricia Cornwell, Karin KerstenISBN 3442439035 (3-442-43903-5)
Softcover, Distribooks Inc

› Find signed collectible books: 'Brandherd'Book summary:Die Erwartungen sind verständlicherweise sehr hoch, schließlich gilt sie als "erfolgreichste Thrillerautorin der Welt", hat Preise eingeheimst im In- und Ausland: Patricia Cornwell hat Stil, Biss und Engagement, auch in ihrem neuen Buch. Vertraute Personen, altbekannte Freundschaften, wer mehr als einen Krimi dieser Autorin gelesen hat, der fühlt sich irgendwie gleich zu Hause. Da ist Dr. Kay Scarpetta, die Chefin der Gerichtsmedizin in Virginia, ihr Lebensgefährte, FBI-Agent Wesley und ihre Nichte Lucy, Computerspezialistin.
Mit einem Drohbrief der vor Jahren überführten psychopathischen Killerin Carrie startet das Spannungskarussell. Parallel ein mysteriöser Brandanschlag auf das Anwesen des "Medienmoguls" Sparkes, in den Brandtrümmern die Leiche einer jungen Frau. Die Ermittlungen laufen auf Hochtouren, die Hiobsbotschaft lässt nicht auf sich warten: Carrie ist aus der Psychiatrie ausgebrochen. "Ich hab so ein Gefühl, dass wir von ihr diesmal weit Schlimmeres zu erwarten haben," mutmaßt Kay Scarpetta und sie soll recht behalten.
Patricia Cornwell, die einmal Tennisprofi werden wollte, dann aber doch in der Gerichtsmedizin arbeitete und sich mit Polizeireportagen einen Namen machte, recherchiert penibel und äußerst detailliert. Da wird aus beachtlichem Fundus beruflicher Erfahrungen geschöpft, da hat alles Hand und Fuß, stellenweise liest sich der Thriller wie ein Tatsachenbericht aus der Gerichtsmedizin. Das ist weder unspannend noch nervenschonend, aber: für zart besaitete Seelen, für Liebhaber des eher psychologisch raffinierten, feineren Krimis ist der neue Roman eher nichts. Denn hier geht es zur Sache, deutlich, direkt, schonungslos. "Der untere Teil des Gesichts bestand aus verbrannten, kalkweißen Knochen... und bröckeligen Zähnen. Von den Ohren war das meiste weg, doch von den Augen aufwärts war das Fleisch gekocht..."
Scarpetta, eine abgebrühte Frau, manchmal knallhart und doch -- Gott sei Dank -- mit menschlichen Regungen. Nach mehrfachen Auftritten in vorherigen Romanen hat sie angenehm an Profil gewonnen. "Ich muss zugeben, dass es mein größter Wunsch ... ist, sie tot zu sehen", sagt die Gerichtsmedizinerin über Carrie und weiß, dass sie in äußerster Lebensgefahr ist. --Barbara Wegmann [via]
