Seduction

I was very much surprised at this story about Victor Hugo titled SEDUCTION by M J Rose.  I would have expected the seances from various other authors, Edgar Allen Poe for instance, but not so much Hugo.  There were some history lessons in this book that I had never heard about.  The author, M J Rose, prefaced the book with the statement that the seances, affairs, and death of Hugo's daughter were documented so it was historical fiction I guess.  
I enjoyed the book and learned some things.

Brain on Fire

Wow!  BRAIN ON FIRE by Susannah Cahalan is an amazing story.  I didn't want to put it down. I wanted to find out if she recovered.  This book makes one wonder as Susanah said how many people over the years have been misdiagnosed or not at all diagnosed.  The advancements in medicine are new each day.  We are a very lucky country for our financing in studies of this kind.

Secret Keeper

Excellent book. Kate Morton shows the closeness of a loving family. Laurel has kept a secret for many years. Only three people saw what happened but only one person knows why. Before Laurel's mother dies, Laurel feels the need to uncover the whole truth of this secret she has hidden. She must go back to a life best forgotten. Her mother finally tells Laurel the missing pieces.

THE INTERCEPT

Excellent book. Jeremy Fisk is trying to catch a terrorist before he brings down our country.  I had an idea of the perpetrator but not why or who his target was.  I enjoy Dick Wolf's TV shows and this was just as good.  This book brings to memory the Twin Towers and what can happen without the super men of many government departments watching over all of us every day.

WRATH OF ANGELS by John Connelly

Good vs. bad?  Bad vs. bad?  This was a mystery of the murder kind and the supernatural kind.  Charlie Parker is called by the families of two men who, years ago, found a lot of money at the site of an age old plane crash. The families aren't sure what they want him to do.  But Charlie gets more involved than just finding a downed plane. He and many others are looking for a list. But what could be on this list?  Is your name there?

BONES ARE FOREVER

BONES ARE FOREVER by Kathy Reichs is about Bones called to examine three babies bodies.  Her partner and former love interest must accompany Bones to northern Canada to find the mother. They must work with another former interest of Dr. Brennan.  Do we see some jealousy goin' on?  There is also a lesson to be learned as is the case of most of Reichs books.  See how diamonds are removed from the earth and cared for until setting.

THOSE WE LOVE MOST

THOSE WE LOVE MOST by Lee Woodruff was a good book.  I am not usually one to read non-mystery books but I am trying to broaden my horizons.  The Munson family is very like most families out there in that they love each other and stick together in good times and bad.  The times are bad after daughter, Maura's son is hit and killed by a car on the way to school with his mother, Maura in tow.  Maura looks away and James, the son, rides his bike into the street in the path of an oncoming teen driver.  This is about how they deal with their guilt and grief.  Roger the patriarch of the family has his own guilt to deal with because of circusstances of his making.  And to top it all off can they withstand another tragedy that befalls the family?  This book was interesting not a kind of on the edge of your seat way but a could we deal with all this way.  I would recommend the book.
