Have you anything by Tess Gerritsen? Boy, is she good! She writes detective/murder mysteries. They are pretty gruesome, both conceptually and graphically. Think Thomas Harris and Silence of the Lambs. Her latest, The Bone Garden, is a bit different for her. I think I liked it more, not to diminish the earlier books. And, she's an anaesthesiologist who left to care for her kids and write. She is a friend of the wife of one of my college classmates who exhibits none of the strange traits of her characters.
I also like Harlan Coben. His books are much lighter, but equally entertaining. There's often a moral to the novel, but nothing too heavy. I've read about half a dozen of his Myron Bolitar sports agent/detective novels. I just started his latest, The Woods. Again, it's a bit different from the Myron books, but have really liked what I've read so far. And, he's AC, class of late '70s or early '80s--a young kid.
Good reading to you.

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.

kuilgxReading book's?
I vaguely remember what that is like. I have not read a book for my own pure entertainment in quite some time. My last 500 or so book's have been written either for a 5 year old or a 6 month old. I thought I would miss "grown up" book's..... But I don't. There is nothing that can compare to reading to your kid's. When I can sneak some grown up reading in, inevitably it is something work related. One of the things I enjoy most about vacation's is the massive amount of reading I came accomplish. Come to think of it I am do for a vacation.....
Yep. Try The Boxcar Children. Jackson will love it! It was my favorite kid story and I read it to Mike and Matt and now little Michael. Ashley is next.
