I would love to recommend Rules of Deception by Christopher Reich. I see that you are a fan of mysteries and intrigue as I am and this was a return to this genre for me. I loved it.<BR/><BR/>2. I am planning on reading Admit One based on your review. I have seen this book mentioned several times and now it is time to read it.<BR/> This is my first time to your blog based on a recommendation on LibraryThing.com. I am an Early Reviewer and a life long reader like you and I have finally decided to start my own blog for my book reviews as well. I am also a "California Sunshine Girl" (my DH name for all of us). I look forward to seeing the results of your contest and thank you for sharing.
