I finally finished my latest lawyer/court/who-done-it. This was the first I’ve read by Jay Brandon. It wasn’t Christian fiction. It was ok, just a little slower than I like. The characters were well drawn though. I’d give Rules of Evidence

I was just introduced to a new service for finding book bargains – booksprice.com. I found out about it from another blogger – The Missionary Geek. It is a really good way to find the best price for that book you need to get.
Through that service I found a new source for used books – Better World Books. After you have checked out this unique company click on through to their book store. Shipping is free in the US and only $3 to anywhere else in the world AND the books (used) are really cheap!
If you like books, you’ll love these two services.

I finished a book just before the wedding. A Case of Need was published in paperback in 1968. The author was listed as Jeffery Hudson but was later changed to Michael Crichton writing as Jeffrey Hudson. I enjoyed it ok except the story was written from a more liberal attitude toward abortion than I am comfortable with. Aside from that, I thought it was a well crafted story.

During my quick trip to Taiwan I finished my second book by the author T. Davis Bunn. I had first learned about him thru reviews about this book.
Drummer In The Dark
I’m giving it 3.5 of 5 stars

I just finished a really good who-done-it. I can’t decide if I am not a very discerning reader or if I am just good at picking ‘em – seems like I’m on a roll.
This was my second in a row, non-Christian, fiction. Written by the prolific Mary Higgins Clark, I’ll Be Seeing You

Growing up in the 1950’s and 60’s, I had a steady diet of war movies. Let’s see . . . on Saturdays at the Plaza Theater it was either westerns, war movies, or Elvis. It was a wonderful time to grow up!
I’ve never really cared to read war stories though. It was the action on the silver screen that I enjoyed.
One of the mystery writers I found when looking for Grisham-like writers was Scott Turow. I’ve found some of his stuff to be too graphic (profanity & sex) but most I’ve read have been quite good. One of his latest strayed from his normal mystery/courtroom writings. Ordinary Heroes
I gave it 4 stars at My Library Thing

While we were in Thailand I finished another Dick Francis book. He normally writes stories that are about horse racing and jockeys. This one was different from other books he has written. This one, 10 lb Penalty
