Swans Book Review

This book was...something else.  It had no excitement and there was no mystery.  I knew who the murderer was very early on in the book and I was just wishing that the book would just get to the point already. Pru Parke has gotten the job of her dreams.  She got the position of head gardener at an eighteenth-century manor house in Sussex.  The landscape of Primrose House was originally designed by Humphry Repton. It is Pru's job to restore the garden to it's former glory with guidance from one of Repton's famous red books. Pru is excited and up to the task when a murderer throws an ax into her plans. One of Pru's gardening crew has been brutally murdered and an investigation is undergone to catch the culprit who did it. Not being new to dead bodies, Pru starts asking questions to get to the bottom of this mystery.  With the help from her sexy inspector, Christopher Pearse.  Now it is up to Pru to finish the garden, dig into the mysterious backg...

Well this book was new.  Usually I dislike know-it-all people but I made an exception for Abigail Lowery who had to bury Elizabeth Fitch in order to survive. Elizabeth Fitch has seen something that no sixteen year old should ever see. She saw two people gunned down right in front of her eyes.  To make matters worse, it is Russian mafia related and if she was caught, she knows that she'll be dead too.  All this started with the act of a rebellion of a sixteen year old girl. Twelve years later, a woman who goes by the name of Abigail Lowery is living on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks.  She is an oddity to the residents of Bickford and to make matters worse, she has a huge dog, and a wide range of firearms. Keeping to yourself is not the way to go in a small town and Abigail unintentionally caught the eye of the local police chief Brooks Gleason.  Just wanting to be left alone, Abigail unwittingly pulled Brooks closer to her and to her horror,...

Eve Dallas is the main character in J.D Robb's in death series and I totally love her kick ass attitude as well as her love for her job and her extremely sexy husband Roake. I love the in death series ( as I like to call it) , even though I haven't read the first book in the series (I access book mostly from the Library) I am hooked. Newly promoted Captain and his wife return a day early to find their daughter murdered in her own bed.  Cause of death was being smoldered after being repeatedly raped and strangled for hours. The killer, being the sick son of a gun he is, courted her for months before brutally killing her in that specific way.   He had months of opportunities and easier ways to kill her, but why in this way? The captain must now push aside his grief, at least for the time being, to focus and think about what he did in his past that could have resulted in the murder of his daughter. Meanwhile, her ki...

Alex Cross, one of my favorite hero series that I know, I will always enjoy to read. In this book, the president, of the United States of America, children have been kidnapped, which is suppose to be impossible, but someone manage to beat the odds and they did it awesomely and right under the secret services's noses. An act of rebellion has led the children right into the arms of danger and torture and it is now up to Detective Cross to help find these poor children before it's to late. Already with too much on his plate, the water supply has been tampered with.  It seems like it was an act of terrorism but is it related to the kidnapping?  You have to read to find out! Even though the book is called "Kill Alex Cross", there seem to be a lack of attempts to actually do so hmmm! I quickly picked up the book from the self because I thought that someone was actually foolish enough to even try, but even with the lack of killing Alex ...
