January Reads


I have my reads all set for January.




       TITLE Jack & Jill                                                                       Author James Patterson                                                            SUMMARY: Someone kills one of the most powerful men in the U.S. Senate--and the whole world is watching. Someone murders a small black girl on the mean streets of Washington-- and no one seems to care. But only D.C. homicide cop Alex Cross suspects that the evil striking down both the high and the low wears the same shocking face. Now in his most terrifying case, Cross must stop a deadly force before it destroys the very foundation of this nation....
Why I chose this book: Okay lets face it. I think I am the only person in the world that may not have read all of the Alex Cross series. I saw the movies and thought they were okay. Nothing special. I picked up a used copy of "Along Came A Spider" and could not put it down.So I am reading them all in order this is #3 of the Alex Cross series
Am I looking forward to reading this: Yes the first two books were 100 times better than the movies and I am ashamed to say that kept me aways from the books . Now I am trying to make up for lost time.

Title: Fear Itself                                                                               Author: Jonathan Nasaw                                                                       Summary: Is it possible to be scared to death ? FBI Special Agent E.L. Pender thinks so - when a man afraid of heights falls nineteen stories to his death and a woman terrified of blood is found with her wrists slashed. Could it be that the apparent suicides are actually the work of a twisted psychopath?                                                                                        To stop him, Pender joins forces with Investigative Specialist Linda Abruzzi, and before long they find themselves facing their own worst terrors-- and a madman who is as immune to fear as he is fascinated by it.
