Lindsay takes a chance by breaking the covenant with the reader that Dexter is a “good monster”; the result doesn’t really work and leaves me wondering if I should continue reading the series.

The Last Surgeon by Michael Palmer (Review)
The core premise, once revealed, seems contrived and I found some elements of the story distracting but The Last Surgeon still managed to hook me for a day’s reading.
The Spy Who Came For Christmas by David Morrell (Review)
Review of The Spy Who Came for Christmas by David Morrell. Not one of his better books but he’s still a favourite author of mine.
The Brotherhood of the Rose by David Morrell (Review)
Review of The Brotherhood of the Rose by David Morrell. Still one of my favourite books by this author (and the first book of his I read 20 years ago).
The Keepsake by Tess Gerritsen (Review)
In The Keepsake, a perfectly preserved mummy is discovered in the basement of a private museum. During a CT scan to authenticate the mummy, a discovery is made that leaves everyone puzzled: The mummy has a bullet imbedded in her leg and it got there while the mummy was still alive.
Capitol Reflections by Jonathan Javitt (Review)
Review of Capitol Reflections by Jonathan Javitt. A science-based thriller that should leave you thinking about what you eat and who’s making sure that it’s safe.
First Daughter by Eric van Lustbader (Review)
First Daughter by Eric van Lustbader is a political thriller that may hit too close to home for some.
Say Goodbye by Lisa Gardner (Review)
A review of Say Goodbye by Lisa Gardner. Someone is killing prostitutes according to a pregnant prostitute who insists she’ll only talk to FBI Special Agent Kimberley Quincy. The only problem is there are no bodies, no missing persons reported.
The Killing Circle by Andrew Pyper (Review)
A review of The Killing Circle by Andrew Pyper. Pyper’s refusal to stick to conventions that makes this book for me. The main character doesn’t act the way I would expect him to and the book doesn’t end the way I expect thrillers to end.
