Pray for Silence By Linda Castillo My review: 4.5 of 5 stars Pray for Silence features gruesome, disturbing violence that haunts the reader in much the same way as it haunts the cops in this story.

Book Review: The Bone Tree by Greg Iles
[simpleazon-link asin="0062311115" locale="us"]The Bone Tree (Penn Cage)[/simpleazon-link] My review: 4.5 of 5 stars Fascinating, frustrating, and infuriating! Conspiracy theorists will devour The Bone Tree. I had to remind myself that I was reading fiction because the ring of truth kept sounding in my ears. Occasionally the author took the story or the characters so far … [Read more...] about Book Review: The Bone Tree by Greg Iles
