Rest of December books - thrillers

Sweetheart by Chelsea Cain - I like her stuff so far, though the stuff with Gretchen was extremely far-fetched.

Chasing Darkness by Robert Crais - Probably a detective's worst nightmare - a supposedly cleared case comes back and suggests you cleared the killer. Elvis Cole is not happy.

Cruel Intent by J.A. Jance - the newest in the Ali Reynolds series - was a happy surprise when I went to the bookstore - didn't know there was a new one coming out. Not great literature, but I enjoy these. Well, I enjoy Jance period :)

Heat Lightning by John Sandford - That f*cking Virgil Flowers is back. Yeah!

Badlands by Richard Montanari - a serial killer with a penchant for classic magic routines.

Bones by Jonathan Kellerman - classic Alex Delaware.

Your Heart Belongs to Me by Dean Koontz - eh. Wish I'd gotten it from the library instead of the bookstore.

Legally Dead by Edna Buchanan - WITSEC agent leaves in disgust after a hidden mobster indulges in a taste for preteen girls and starts arranging disappearances for people who really need it.

Jericho Point by Meg Gardiner - not as big a fan as Stephen King :) - but good solid stories and fully realized, conflicted characters.

Finished up with 227 books for the year - not counting rereads.
