I have read a few so-so books lately,but,let me tell you about a winner.

I just finished a first time author,T J Newman. She was a airline attendant forb10+ years. Her book,titled FALLING had me on the edge f my seat the whole time. It's about a pilot who's flying from L A to N Y. He gets a message that states that if he does not crash the plane,killing everyone his family will be murdered. He's set pictures of his family with hoods and tied up. 
This book was one of the best I have read in a while. It never gets boring,as a matter of fact it just kept getting better,and kept me on the edge of my chair Hope this isn't beginners luck and any more she writes are as good. Check it out,you won't be disappointed!

I just finished reading a book that I have anticipated reading for quite a while. The Investigator (Letty Davenport Novel) by John Sanford. The book did not disappoint. Letty is the female version of Lucas Davenport from The Prey Series, the early years before he settled down. (smile) If you have not read The Prey Series you will not be lost as the book stands on its own. John Sanford does an excellent job of giving background history of Letty, throughout the book so you are well aware of what circumstances have shaped her. The book starts out in first gear and then you hit a section and it just takes off into the stratosphere. I had a hard time putting the book down.

I look forward to the second book in this new series.

The Photographer by Mary Dixie Carter - psych fiction which I don't read that often.  It was pretty good.

Living With Chickens - Ginnine Josete - a hilarious funny novel.

Just finished Run Rose Run by Dolly Parton and James Patterson, I enjoyed this book. It follows a woman who wants to break into country music, meeting obstacles along the way and meeting her guardian angels who vow to protect her and help her  along on her journey, when the nightmare of her past catches up with her!
