eviltammythat weren't so thrilling :)
The best of the bunch was:
Terminal Freeze by Lincoln Child - Set in the Arctic Circle, scientists find a creature frozen in ice. And despite the warnings of the local natives, it's cut out and set to be thawed for a documentary. Only it's not what they think it is - and it may not be dead. Thoroughly unbelievable, but still fun. Child has a good style with action and with scientific stuff, but the story here was... lesser - and the obsessive documentary maker was just annoying and deserved to die the horrible death that he got :) ::beams sweetly:: (Pub)
Butterfly by Sharon Sala - China Brown, pregnant and just evicted, witnesses a crime and almost becomes a fatality herself. Fluff, filled with cliches.
The 7th Victim by Alan Jacobson - Too much coincidence - and a fairly irritating heroine.
The Associate by John Grisham - Grisham is, as always, very readable - nice easy style. But, as with his last few, this one is eminently forgettable.
Cross Country by James Patterson - Please. Like the government couldn't keep Cross from flying to Africa if it wanted to. I found myself wanting the bad guys to hurt him more :)
Divine Justice by David Baldacci - missed the book before this one in the Camel Club series and didn't care. Must remember to miss the rest also. His other books I'll still check out :)
