Scarpetta: Postmortem

This is the 1st Scarpetta novel. It's written in 1st person like the 2nd book. The plot is also a bit similar: A serial rapist / killer terrorise single women till he is killed by then Srg. Marino when he try tp rape and murder Scrapetta in her bedroom. The end is anticlimatic when the rapsit killer isn't some key character but an anonymus young man who worked in the police com room answering 911 calls and chose his victims by their voices.

Inspite of all the above I enjoyed the book and till the end was sure that the murderer / rapist is Scrapetta's then boy friend who is also the district attorny. I love reading books that I can't deduce who the killer is. :)

The Hedge Knight II: Sworn Sword

The art in this book is very good but I'm sorry to say that story is too childish. I thought that George R. R. Martin is a better story teller that that. There is nothing interesting in the story about a 2 land owners fighting over water and using the poor people living on their lands to fight for them. This TPB is already in the "for sale" pile and I'm going to stay away from Martin's books and comics.

Murder she wrote: Rum & Razors

Jessica Fletcher has friends who left Cabot Cob in order to run an inn somewhere, Jessica is staying at the inn as their guest and someone get murdered. Sounds familiar ??? That's because this plot is also used in the book titled "Blood on the vine " that was written several years later. While the this book take place in the island of St. Thomas and Jessica is helped by Dr. Seth Hazlet, in the later book she is Napa valley and is helped by her Scotland Yard buddy George Sutherland.

During her investigation into the murder of her friend Walter Marschalk. she discover that he wasn't the nice guy that every one in Cabot Cob thought he was. She also manage to save the life of a young islander who was set up to take the fall as the alleged murderer.

Murder She Wrote books are always a pleasure to read even if some of the plot is reused.

Scarpetta: Body of evidence

This is the 2nd book in the Scarpetta series, and it's totally different from the 16th book (Scarpetta) that I read before. While the 16th book is written in 3rd person and is full with phsyco bubble, this 2nd book is written in 1st person and no said bubble. Another difference is that in book 16 Benton Wesley, who is by then Scarpetta's hubby is refered to as "Benton", in book 2 he is refered to as "Wesley". I definitly prefer the 1st person version. Kathy Reichs also write her Brenan books in 1st person.

In this books Scarpetta is after a deranged killer who murdered a novelist and people connected to her. Before he is caught the killer also try to kill Scarpetta herself.

I'm reading now the 1st book in the series (Postmoertem). In that book Scarpetta doesn't like Marinpo - the detective working with her. In book 2 they are best of friends. I hope that when I'll finished the book I'll find out what made her change her mind about Marino.

Doctor Who: The pirate loop

A typical Doctor Who book. The Doctor & Martha land on a future starship a short while before the ship disappeared. What they discover is the human race at it's ugliest. Workers without mouthes so thay won't be able o talk back to their employers, and a hybrid human/badger creatures who are used as slaves.

I love the Doctor Who books. Esp. the 10th Doctor's, but they are read too quickly :(

Scarpetta - Patricia Cornwell

This is the 1st Scarpetta book I read. I enjoyed it so much that I went and bought all the Scarpetta book avaiable at the used books shops here.

I can definetly do without all the psychobubble and the characters' selfmusings. Still it's very good mystery book, and till the end I didn't suspect that the Hispanic doctor turned cop is the psycopath murderer. I also didn't suspect that the 1st victim - the dwarf female is the one bad mouthing Scarpetta in the Gotham (no Batman) column. Instead I mistakenly suspected the ME Lester or the skin doctor as the columnist.

I love mystery books where I can't figure out who the bad guys are :)

The slient sea - Clive Cussler

An a-typical Cussler book. Usually the heros find and reveal to the world hidden treasures that are founn in usually uncommon places like the Alexandria library or Columbus's tomb. Here the Oregon's crew destroy a chineese historical ship near Antarctica in order to keep the Chneese for claiming the continent and it's oil for themselves.

As usual a very action packed book and very enjoyable read.

New book

1. Scarpeta- Patricia Cornwell

Since I like Kathy Reichs Bones books and she is constantly compared To Cornwell's Scarpeta books, I've decided to give them a try. Already started reading it, and so far it's very interesting.

1 new book so far in November 2011.

Fallen: Torment

The 2nd book in the Fallen series belongs to the WOW list as the 1st. I wasn't able to put it down.

This time Luce is going to a boarding school in California with Nephilim kids. She is suppused to be safe there with Daniel the angel and Cam the demon hunting down those who are trying to kill or kidnap her. The only problem is that no one bothered explaining to Luce why she should stay on campus grounds. So she keep sneaking out and putting herself in danger. Also Luce starting to like Miles - a Nephilim kid and to question the love between her and Daniel. The book end with Luce going back in time and Daniel trying to find her.

Can't wait to buy the 3rd book.

Star Trek: Typhon pact - Seize the fire

The 2nd book in the Typhon Pact series is disappointing and boring with a capital B. After reading half of it I started skimming till the end. When I saw that there is a Typhon Pact series, I envisioned stories about the Federation v. the Pact. Instead we get books each concentrated on a species that is part of the Pact. The 1st book was about the Breen. This one is about the Gorn.

The whole story is about the U.S.S Titan trying to stop the Gorn from teraforming an inhabited planet and destroying the natives and their civilization. The book shoud have been part of the Titan books IMO.
