Odd Interlude #1 by Dean Koontz My rating: 4 of 5 stars This ebook is part one of three, really a novel cut into three to up the suspense (and profit) factor. I borrowed all three ebooks from the library: Odd Interlude #1, [b:Odd Interlude #2|15701491|Odd Interlude #2|Dean Koontz|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1340033125s/15701491.jpg|21361212], and [b:Odd Interlude #3|15701498|Odd Interlude #3|Dean…

Light Thickens by Ngaio Marsh My rating: 3 of 5 stars I read most of Marsh’s books a long, long time ago. So this was a reread. I seem to recall enjoying her books more than I do now. This is one for theatre buffs or Macbeth fans. The mystery is transparent. The whole thing…

Odd Hours by Dean Koontz My rating: 4 of 5 stars I don’t like horror. I don’t like horror movies, horror books, things that go creepy crawly in the night or black daytime, aiming for your life and limbs. Yet I like the Odd Thomas series. I don’t know why… I read this book awhile…

The Girl in the Green Raincoat by Laura Lippman My rating: 4 of 5 stars The problem with ebooks is that you can’t tell how long they are unless you remember to check the page number (assuming the retailer lists that info). And so I didn’t realise this was a novella until I was about…

The Black Echo by Michael Connelly My rating: 3 of 5 stars A good solid read. It didn’t quite feel like a first book as there was a lot of interesting back story that could have been books unto themselves, but it was woven into the plot well. I sometimes found Bosch a little tedious,…

Scared To Live by Stephen Booth My rating: 4 of 5 stars After reading mysteries of varying quality by writers unknown to me, it was a pleasure — a comforting, familiar pleasure — to pick up where I had left off in Stephen Booth’s Cooper and Fry series several months ago. I devoured it. Then…

The Virtual Self: How Our Digital Lives Are Altering the World Around Us by Nora Young My rating: 0 of 5 stars I took this out of the library, and it expired when I was about halfway through. There’s a long hold list for it, and no wonder. Hopefully, I won’t have completely forgotten what…

Angels: Who They Are and How They Help-What the Bible Reveals by David Jeremiah My rating: 3 of 5 stars A nicely laid-out book, structured in a logical order, but the good information on angels is buried under a lot of proselytizing. One must be patient and dig down to keep track of the information…

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was awesome! I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy a science fiction novel written by two authors, starring an angel and a demon, but it came strongly recommended. I was hooked from the beginning. There were a few typos here and there, and by their…
