If CSI is your favorite TV program and Patricia Cornwall one

detail in the crime scenes is intense and very detailed. If
you are interested in how a crime is studied step-by-step,
then this is it.

Completely Smitten
by Kristine Grayson
"A Great Greek in Modern Times"
Posted March 17, 2002
This book is a hoot, especially if you know anything about
Greek Mythology. The story itself and the characters are
very well drawn, but the best fun is all the asides about
myths, ancient and modern history, secondary characters,
and a great puppy named Munin.
Darius (AKA Andrew Vari) is Read more...
The Dorothy Dunnett Companion Volume II
by Elspeth Morrison
"For the Dorothy Dunnett devotee"
Posted March 17, 2002
This book is only for the devoted Dorothy Dunnett reader.
If you have read any or all of her historical sagas of
Lymond or Niccolo, this is an invaluable addition. The
amount of historical information contained in the books
makes them a dense read on their own. Read more...

Reunion in Death is another brilliant turn for J.D. Robb.
Her series starring Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke,
continues to delight and entertain. While the constant
reader will appreciate the family and friends that Ms. Robb
has surrounded Eve with, even the casual reader will enjoy
this Read more...
To Kiss A Spy
by Jane Feather
"To Kiss a Spy"
Posted February 3, 2002
Ms. Feather has written another outstanding book. She
continues to respect the intelligence of her readers and to
write to that intelligence. Pen Bryanston is certain that
her child was born alive but her cruel Mother-in-Law tells
her the boy was stillborn. Convinced that she heard him Read more...
