Gifts of War: A Novel
by Mackenzie Ford

The Truth Shall Set You Free (4/25/2009)

I found myself drawn into this story gently but surely. The story builds, layer upon layer and you want things to work out, but everyone keeps bumping into the truth.

It is at once a wonderful story about telling the truth and a candid view of the cost of first world war, about which I knew little.

Read it.

Shoot the Lawyer Twice: A Rep and Melissa Pennyworth Mystery
by Michael Bowen

Shoot me Once! (8/24/2008)

At the end of the day, self interest drives the plot. But to get to this revelation, there are convoluted and abstract conversations - almost too mind numbing to follow. I have adopted the Nancy Pearl 50 page rule - if not for this review I would have put it down after 50 pages. And probably not come back.
