27 & 28

7th Heaven (Women's Murder Club)

#27: 7th Heaven by James Patterson. This is the 7th (duh) book in the 'women's murder

Timeline: A Novel

club' series featuring Lindsay Boxer as the main character. It is quick, compelling and interesting as I find all James Patterson novels to be.

Normally I immensely dislike books written in 1st person narratives, but this one didn't bother me so much. The author switched the narrative between the main characters, and it was rather good.

I realized just into the book that somehow I missed the 6th book. That drives me crazy! I'm reading it now.

#28: Timeline by Michael Crichton. This book has been sitting on my shelf for maybe 2 years. I thought I had read it until I was packing up some books to drop off at the exchange library at our golf course and I had a closer look at the book.

I read this book in less than 2 days. It was a page turner and I enjoyed the historical context. It was a little bit long toward the end... I remember thinking, 'okay, whose turn is it to go missing?' In the end it was a great Crichton novel, and I found myself wondering if it could be successfully translated onto the big screen.
