A. Jance who is a great author. Her mysteries are really well written and have lots of twists and turns in the plot.  I love them.  I have read most of what she has written.  I discovered her while on a cruise to Alaska in 1996.  She was a speaker at one of the events on board the ship.  I love to read mysteries and had not heard of her so I went to listen and really enjoyed listening to her.  Once I got home I looked up her books and have been reading then since.  This particular book is in the Joanna Brady series which is set in Arizona.   Great story!  I love her characters and how they have developed over the course of the whole series.  I would recommend these books and suggest that you start with the first one which is called Desert Heat.

She is a really good author and I have read many of her books. They are all down to earth good books. Her characters are real and could be people you know. She does a great job of weaving a story in which I would like to be in.  :)

The author, Steig Larsson,  did  a great  job. :)

Are you one of those people who can’t walk in a bookstore without wanting to buy everything?  I am and I usually always end up buying a book or two that looks interesting.  Being an avid reader, I have a bunch of  books that I have not read yet.  I am going to include those books here too, since most of them I have had for a bit of time.  The one I just finished reading  is called Plum Spooky by Janet Evanovich.  It is great.  All of the books in the Stephanie Plum series are hilarous and so funny.  They are a riot….side splitting funny :) I would definitely recommend them for a great easy read.  :)
