darkly dreaming dexter — jeff lindsay

Dex­ter Mor­gan is, on the out­side a lov­able crea­ture. He is hand­some, well behaved, has a good job as an ana­lyst with the police and has sort of a girl­friend. He could be as nor­mal as a per­son is able to. But he is not. He has a dark side, a very dark side: his Dark Pas­sen­ger. And this pas­sen­ger is a ser­ial killer, with­out emo­tions and feel­ings. But it’s also a picky ser­ial killer because he only kills other mur­der­ers. That’s what Dex­ter been thought by his fos­ter dad Harry, a police­man. Dex­ter has to abide Harry’s rules to keep him­self out of trou­ble and to look as human as he can.
But trou­ble he is in: another ser­ial killer is on the loose and along the way Dex­ter notices the killer is mak­ing it per­sonal, too personal!


a knot garden — geoff nicholson

Richard Wis­den is a tele­vi­sion celebrity. He has his own gar­den shows and is very pop­u­lar. So why would he com­mit sui­cide in a hotel room? A ques­tion Libby Wis­den is des­per­ate to answer. In fact, she doesn’t believe he killed him self, she is con­vinced her late hus­band was mur­dered. Deter­ment and wealthy as she is, she hires dif­fer­ent peo­ple (a detec­tive, doc­tor, pho­tog­ra­pher to name a few) to fig­ure out spe­cific facts and insights con­cern­ing Richard’s death. Not an easy task, because along the way secrets, lies and unknown truths come to light and Richard’s life turns out to be as knot­ted as his gardens.


sammy’s hill — kristin gore

Saman­tha Joyce works at The Hill and she is good at her job as polit­i­cal aid for Sen­a­tor Robert Gary: pro­fes­sional, hard work­ing and on top of every­thing. Wouldn’t it be great to have the same in her per­sonal life. Unfor­tu­nately she doesn’t. She has a pet fish who tries to com­mit sui­cide every time he gets, her apart­ment is a mess and she is in des­per­ate need of some hugs and kisses from the male species.
And in comes Aaron. Cocky to be sure, but also very hand­some and male. Sam falls for him imme­di­ately, even though he is work­ing as speech­writer for the oppo­si­tion. A minor fault in an oth­er­wise flaw­less man. Happy times all around!
And in comes Char­lie: the hor­ri­ble (and oh yeah, cute)  reporter who exploited her use of her Black­berry for his arti­cle.
Just when all the roles seem to be set and Sammy is hap­pily jug­gling all the balls of life in the air, there has to be a dis­tur­bance. And there is…


sorry, so sorry

I want to apol­o­gize for the lack of reviews.

The last months or two I have been busy mov­ing to a new home, and as you can imag­ine, I haven’t had a lot of time to read. Moreover, all my dear books have been in boxes, wait­ing the be unwrapped in their new attic, where they will be cared and nur­tured for once again.

So, be patient with me and new reviews will soon follow.
