If you like mysteries full of twists, turns and false leads, this is the one for you. JEFFERY DEAVER'S newest LINCOLN RHYME novel,"THE TWELFTH CARD". I got the large print version so I could read longer. It was great right to the last few pages. The best part is the 140 year old crime that is finally solved. This is a keeper. You won't regret sitting up all night with this one.

Susan Wittig Albert has added to her China Bayles series with "Dead Man's Bones". Don't miss this one. —The bones in a cave have a story to tell, and hold a clue from the past that could help China solve an urgent mystery in the present

MARY WILLIS WALKER's "ZERO AT THE BONE" everything a good thriller needs. The lovely heroine,dogs and cats(big cats) and murder and money. What happened when Katherine was 5? How does it affect her now? Will she loose her home? Who is the mysterious grandmother she has never met? and Who killed her father the day before he was going to get her money to save the farm,oops, dog kennel? Well you won't find out unless you read the book.

Give JOHN GRISHAM'S "THE STREET LAWYER" a shot while you'r at it. It's another best seller.

I have also read Dean Koontz "ODD THOMAS", and it is different. There is a second one. "Forever Odd",and it is just as good as the first.

Don't miss James Patterson's "4th of July" the fourth installment in the "Women's Murder Club" series. I couldn't put it down. Patterson's 5th installment The "Fifth Horsman" is also out in hardback.

1. Invasion,

James D. Doss

Like Tony Hillerman and Jean Hager these mysteries are set in the western staes and feature a Native American. The big hunk in this series of twist and turn mysteries is a Big UTE named Charlie Moon. He has the assistance of his firend and a fellow officer Scott Parris. These are great mysteries and they get better as you follow the series. You should start with the first one "The Shaman Sings". Be sure to read carefully and keep in mind that everything is now what it seems and sometimes it is what you don't see that is the clue.

1. The Shaman Sings
2. The Shaman Laughs
3. The Shaman's Bones
4. The Shaman's Game
5. The Night Visitor
6. White Shell Woman
7. Grandmother Spider
8. Dead Soul
9. The Witch's Tongue
10. Shadow Man

Janet Evanovitch

These are the funniest mysteries to hit the market in a long time. Poor Stephanie Plum not only has to put up with a nutty dysfunctional family but she has to drive a Buick and take care of her hampster. She even manages to get her man. These are the best in a long time.

• One for the Money
• Two For The Dough
• Three to Get Deadly
• Four to Score
• High Five
• Hot Six
• Seven UP
• Hard Eight
• To The Nines
• Ten Big Ones
• Eleven On Top
• Twelve Sharp

Not part of the Plum series of mysteries but a fun read is her dysfunctional family in "Visions of Sugar Plums".

Joanne Fluke

I picked this up because I liked the title. "Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder" FOOD. Not only do you get a good mystery but you get the most fab recipies for yummy goodies. Each book has several workable recipies. You don't have to go to the gourmet section of the market for these items. I have read two of the books and have the others on call at the local library. You will just love the way Hannah Swensen stumbles over dead bodies and then sets out to find the killer. These are light and fun and tasty. Oh, did I mention that Hannah runs a Cookie bakery? Well, where do you think she gets her great recipies? Mix up a batch of her Oatmeal Raisin Crisps and settle down for a great read.

1. Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder
2. Strawberry Shortcake Murder
3. Blueberry Muffin Murder

Charles L. Grant

He has a lot of books but I have only read the 5 the "Black Oak" series. If you can find them go for it. They are really scarry.
