"Whistle" by Linwood Barclay
In Whistle by Linwood Barclay, Annie has had a rough year. Her publisher finds her and her son a house in an out-of-the-way place, a small town in upstate New York. Now Annie can get back to doing what she does best--writing books! I have read a few books by this author, but this one is by far his best! It is filled with twists and turns with plenty of action which is why I enjoyed it so much. I always looked forward to reading it and had to force myself to put it down so it would last longer. Stephen King said this one was "Terrific" which made me want to read it. He was right! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

Martha is called when a man accused of rape is found dead in a river. Someone says otherwise and Martha must decide if she got it right so investigates the murder on her own. This book is pretty good but could use more action. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

"The Art Thief--a true story of love, crime, and dangerous obsession" by Michael Finkel
The Art Thief--a true story of love, crime, and dangerous obsession by Michael Finkel is a short but true story about Stephane Breitwieser, an art thief. He would steal art from museums and churches in Europe while his woman friend served as a lookout. I thought this was really a fascinating book. I enjoyed reading about what he was thinking as he was stealing the art. It's good! One of my favorite nonfiction books! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
