Shutter Island, by Dennis LehaneGripping, very good writing. Liked the beginning, the movie is almost word for word. Make time to read it all in one go. 3 ½ stars
Great book, won the 2008 Edgar Award. Lots of plots going on, it all takes place within a 48 hour time frame. Great description, a stand alone, a definite grabber. 5 stars
The Butterfly’s Daughter, by Mary Alice Monroe
Begins with the monarch butterfly migration, very interesting, and good description. 4 ½ stars
Starts off with a bang where the main character’s partner is killed. First in a 5 part series. 3 stars
