Could you be dead and not realize that you are?

Are you dead, Kristin Burns?

Is your affair with your boss, Michael Turnbull, just in your imagination?

Are your alleged photographic abilities a liability?

Why do some people cringe and seem petrified when they see you?

Are you dreaming or in another dimension?

What if James Patterson is telling us of life after death?

Do you believe?

A confounding novel!

Many thanks for another great Christmas gift as I read “You’ve Been Warned.”

Yes, this is a different kind of read from Mr. Patterson, but why not!

Change is good!

Many reviewers online rate this book poorly, but this outstanding read kept me spellbound!

Every book by Mr. Patterson does not have to be about Alex or the Woman’s Club!

The many twists and turns had me wondering what was going to happen next.

Every fact of life was covered: life, death, love, kids, sex, jobs, greed, lies, truth, marriage, single, schools, deceit, lust, ghosts, nightmares, and life-after-death!

Every book is not for everybody, but change is good! Read “You’ve Been Warned” for yourself!

As I ponder what to write on this rain-soaked Sunday, the characters are really what make “Pursuit of Honor” so realistic!

Mitch of course is his usual pragmatic self, but the terrorists, there is something different. Is there really a soul in an al Qaeda member? Can he feel for the infidels? Do they really battle among themselves over whom to kill?

What is the real reason behind Glen Adams operation to get to Mitch Rapp? Is he really a moralist? Or a self-appointed judge of the CIA?

Are Mitch’s interrogation methods too harsh?

Are Mike Nash and Hakim “blood” brothers?

I never like to reveal too much about an outstanding novel, so yes get Vince’s latest for yourself!

The Last Templar is a good read like unto The Da Vinci Code. I’ve always been fascinated with tales of Templars. Mr. Khoury’s way of taking us back to their thoughts and rituals was very entertaining!

While most of the books I read about this era of history are novels, I really need to delve into their actual beginnings. There are so many untruths written about the Knights that only research could uncover the accuracy of the novels.

Visiting the Metropolitan Museum to see the exhibition of Vatican treasures, Tess Chaykin is suddenly thrust into the “Templar” limelight as four horseman dressed as Templar’s crash through the front doors and begin looting the treasure.

Tess has a first hand look and listen as one of the horseman smashes the case next to her and takes a strange looking old machine. The horseman utters a cryptic message as he grasps his loot “Veritas vos libera!”

Of course after all the mayhem inside is finished, Tess learns one of the “Templars” had hacked a guards head off with his sword, UGH!

Sean Reilly, the principle FBI agent in charge of the investigation,  interviews Tess and immediately there is a spark between the two. With Tess background of being an archaeologist her antennas are up as to why steal an old machine.
She informs Sean about the history of the Templars as the story progresses and finally convinces him as to why this bold atrocities were carried out.

More twists and turns as three of the four horsemen turn up murdered!

Really have enjoyed this book so far more next week…

Does money really play into most political races? Sure!

Does the media affect and effect our mindset as to who we support in these races?

Ron Fisk , a goody two shoes lawyer, is “talked” into running for supreme court justice in Mississippi against the “liberal” Sheila McCarthy.

Little does he know the setup!

Everything he says, every appearance, every handshake is orchestrated by Carl Trudeau’s money to get his lawsuit thrown out!

Could this really happen?

If we only knew what really goes on behind the scenes!

Payton and Payton wind up with nothing!

Much more the sick people of Bowmore wind up with nothing!

Mr. Grisham, you made me step back and think again!

Read “The Appeal!”

Just the usual John Grisham novel, good characterization, small community, people suffering, and lawyers ranting.

Getting the verdict first was different, but I should have known, the title “The Appeal.”

I guess the first real surprise, thinking that a law firm would actually sacrifice everything to help a fellow citizen out!

In the small town of Bowmore, Mississippi, Mary Grace Payton of the law firm Payton & Payton knew everyone after all she had lived in Bowmore.
This story is the classic case of big business versus the little man on the street.

Not only in lawsuits, but in politics as well.

Will the money hungry Carl Trudeau, CEO of Krane Chemical cough up the $41 million awarded to the Payton’s client?

Will he settle out of court?

Who is Ron Fisk?

Who is Sheila McCarthy?

Find out some answers next week…
