  2. Hehe, you're too nice :-) My book is more thriller than mystery anyway, and I'm actually looking forward to reading these. Several I haven't heard of...

  3. I think I will join you in trying to get them read--I feel poorly read in the mystery side of things. I have only read three of these, and some I had never even heard of before (The Quick Fix, and Emily's Dress, and the Edge of Nowhere).
