Come Sundown, a Brilliant Romantic Suspense Novel from Nora Roberts

A little over thirty thousand acres and home to four generations, it’s

NYPD Red 4 by James Patterson

Book Review: NYPD Red 4, a new Crime Thriller by James Patterson

By

The Bottom Line: A rock solid crime thriller from one of the best in the business. Say what you will about the fact that James Patterson has published as many as 15 books in a year, and that more than 20 co-authors in fact do much of the writing. Patterson is a business, man, and business is very good. Not surprisingly, the writing in his latest outing also very good.
