Romance, Mystery, and Intrigue – Das Medallion Has It All
First and foremost, I have to admit that I super enjoy James Patterson. That being said, Private was alright. It wasn’t 9th Judgment good but it was good. I do not feel like I wasted my time. In fact, I would like Patterson to start an entire Private Investigation series that features Jack Morgan…why not?

Private by James Patterson
This is another Inspector Van Veeteren mystery – previously of Borkman’s Point which I loved! Not light hearted stuff. Van Veeteren and the police department are called into a homicide case of a man who has been shot three times. Van Veeteren is pretty gritty and unapproachable but well respected by his peers.

Tally’s alma mater wants to honour her in a ceremony which will include fund raising for the college – a charity close to Tally’s heart.

If you had the opportunity at a second chance at life, a second chance to change from being a failure to being a success, would you take it?

Faceless Killers – A Wallander Mystery by Henning Mankell
I am not a big short story fan. This book is the result of fans asking for more details on Wallander’s life prior to his first books i.e. before January of 1990. Mankell chose to write the stories in the 90s to also address the general anxiety felt as a Swedish nation with regard to the state of the country and the relationship between the welfare state and democracy. Wallander in 1990 was already 42 and divorced with a daughter.
