Triptych by Karin Slaughter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love this book. It’s scary and violent at some parts, made me cringed. The author has a talent for building characters, you can’t help but care for them. I’m glad I got the rest of the series in my to-read pile.

The Burglar on the Prowl by Lawrence Block
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
It’s an entertaining book, the funny and witty dialogues are typical of Block. The story kind of moved a bit slow, so it took me a while to finish the book. I breezed through the last 50 pages or so, but then again I seem to do that to all books so I can’t really give that as a positive for this book.

The Burglar in the Rye (Bernie Rhodenbarr Mysteries by Lawrence Block
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another good book by Lawrence Block. It wasn’t 5-star amazing though because it lacks the plot twists in the end that I usually look for in a book, and the mystery is “simple”. Nevertheless it’s an entertaining read.

Swimsuit by James Patterson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The plot was unique, and it’s been a while since I’ve read a book where I hated the villain(s). The bad guys in this book are vile and atrocious. Actually, I don’t know how James Patterson (or Maxine Paetro?) can write something so disgusting. I gave it 4 stars because it at least captured my attention, and the author did his job of making the villain a villain that you hate.

Tick Tock by James Patterson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This has become my favorite James Patterson series. It’s like the Von Trapp family crossed with Patterson’s crime novels.

I, Alex Cross by James Patterson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another good Alex Cross story. Fast-paced as always, and the villain is so despicable you can’t wait for him to get caught.

Alex Cross’s Trial by James Patterson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is different from the usual crime novels that I like from James Patterson, but I love the story as well. I know this is fiction but I think it’s based on some truths, especially the dark history of lynchings in the US. It’s hard to believe such horrors happened in what is now the most powerful country in the world. Let us not forget such atrocities so that it may never happen again.

I loved it. It was a fast-paced book as any other James Patterson book should be but I really like the action in this one. If there were down times it was about character development which I didn’t find boring. Villain was bad guy with a mission and a message to the world. It actually makes you think about what’s happening to the world today.
