I read a lot of thrillers/mysteries/suspense books, and am always on the lookout for more.<BR/><BR/>Give <A HREF="http://www.theosgoodetrilogy.com" REL="nofollow"> The Osgoode Trilogy</A> by Mary E. Martin a look. Lawyer Harry Jenkins will stick with you long after you're done, because he's so deeply developed. And all three plots have perfectly intertwined, fast-paced plots --and some really, really unique characters. The books are "Conduct in Question," "Final Paradox" and "A Trial of One." <BR/><BR/>And have a great time next weekend!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-57501130250075955242008-04-18T23:05:00.000-07:002008-04-18T23:05:00.000-07:00Alice - They can be hard to put down so be careful...Alice - They can be hard to put down so be careful you don't get addicted!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-58241244797073963362008-04-18T19:42:00.000-07:002008-04-18T19:42:00.000-07:00Hi Wendy, I bought a few thrillers lately and I'm ...Hi Wendy, I bought a few thrillers lately and I'm so very afraid that I'd be hooked on the genre and my bank account will suffer a BIGGER dent.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623394887320093229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-69350151998288558252008-04-17T20:39:00.000-07:002008-04-17T20:39:00.000-07:00Nymeth - I think the author has done a better job ...Nymeth - I think the author has done a better job of incorporating the historical aspects into her novels in earlier books. It might have been just me in this case, but it seemed a little more forced. I still enjoyed it though! I think sometimes I'm just much harder on later books in series I follow. <BR/><BR/>Jen - If you are looking for much courtroom drama, Fairstein's novels aren't the best choice. She doesn't spend much time in the court room. There's quite a bit of behind the scenes stuff though which is just as interesting if you don't mind it.<BR/><BR/>Jaimie - Thanks! I enjoyed Bad Blood quite a bit and hope you do too. This one I liked less, but if you enjoy the series, it's definitely a must read. :-)<BR/><BR/>Amy - We do that to each other, don't we? We'll never run out of reading ideas!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-11703075589947534722008-04-17T12:08:00.000-07:002008-04-17T12:08:00.000-07:00Wendy!Because of you...my TBR pile is HUGE!

This still sounds like a great read, though!Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.com
