| 1. |  | Lush Life: A Novel
from Picador
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
The author of "Clockers" and "Samaritan" has hit the ugly, dirty, life-filled streets of New York again with a murder to solve and all the skeletons in the closet of a cast of characters, from the murder victim's father to the head detectives, Yolonda and Matty. The street jargon, street food, and... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Rough Weather
from Random House Audio
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
While the comments presented by many reviewers of this book might have been valid for the half-dozen or so previous Spencers, they aren't fair for the latest edition. In Rough Weather Parker seems to be getting back some of the style and substance evident in earlier works. The humor is there and the... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1)
from Buzzy Multimedia Publishing
Price: $39.99
Customer Review:
For a debut novel, this is pretty good stuff. The characters are engaging enough to keep me interested, the plot moves swiftly, and the fantasy doesn't drift off into the absurd (which is fairly easy to do in this blended genre). I'm used to reading very seasoned writers, so there were a few points... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Phantom Prey (Lucas Davenport Mysteries)
from Putnam Adult

Customer Review:
John Sanford continues to deliver even nearly 20 years after the first Prey book. The books are just as thrilling and Lucas Davenport is just as HOT! | 3.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, Book 3)
from Buzzy Multimedia
Price: $44.95
Customer Review:
I love the Dresden series so far. In "Grave Peril" there is a shift in the wall between the Ever After and the real world, so ghosts, demons, and more are having no trouble getting through and creating more havoc than usual. It is up to Wizard Harry Dresden and some choice friends to try to get to... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Another Life: The Final Burke Novel
from Pantheon
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
Another Life by Andrew Vachss is the newest "Burke" hardcover and also supposedly the last "Burke" novel in the series, according to the author's marketing people. For whatever reason, Mr. Vachss has decided to stop writing the series and to pursue a list of other writing projects. Because I knew... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 7. |  | The Tin Roof Blowdown (Dave Robicheaux Mysteries)
from Pocket
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
No one, no one has bothered to capture the catastrophe of Katrina in a fictional setting like Burke. His prose, as always, is beyond and above the mystery genre'. He constantly makes me stop and smile at his descriptions of both place and people. If only I could. There should be no cheap thrills in... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, Book 4)
from Buzzy Multimedia
Price: $34.95
Customer Review:
After a disappointing third outing, I was reluctant to pick up Butcher's 4th installment, but after letting it gather dust for 8 months I finally bit the bullet and started reading. I kept on reading, and found it hard to put Summer Knight down. Harry Dresden's character was spot-on, back to the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 9. |  | Swan Peak: A Dave Robicheaux Novel
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $17.13
Customer Review:
In the world of literary mystery fiction, is there anyone better? I don't think so. The first paragraph begins the journey and the writing never bores nor does the story stall. From sultry New Orleans, Burke has sent his two tough guys to the Montana skies without missing a beat. It would be amazing... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
