Summer Enjoyment,

Harlan Coben’s, “THE INNOCENT”.

            This book is full of twist and turns.  Matt Hunter, as a boy, accidently kills another boy while attempting to break up a fight.  Matt is not a fighter.  It seems the law wanted to make an example out of Matt.  He is put in prison.

            Before Matt does time, he meet’s Olivia.  After Matt dies time, he meets Olivia again.  They marry.  After compromising pictures of Olivia are sent to Matt’s cell phone, the investigation begins.  The past is full of deadly secret’s.  No one is exempt from lying.  Olivia’s secret past only helps her to understand Matt.

After reading this book, we have to wonder, how well we know our spouses back ground.  Do we know everything?  Better yet, how much faith do we have in our spouses? 

            This book is an active suspense.  Easy and comfortable reading.

            LOVED IT!    Action, mystery…How far would you go to save your family?  If in trouble, would your distant family unite?  This story is about a family that needs to find their way back to each other.  The mom (a Dr.) thinks a family vacation is the way.

            A planned sailing trip ends up in havoc and sadness.  Do you know your children’s step parents?  What does the step parents gain if the parents die?

This is a must read…fast, easy and intriguing.

Book Review, Nothing to Lose, Lee Child   

"Nothing To Lose", Lee Child

            The book took me about 2 days to read.  Since I am camping I like the idea that I don't have to think too much while reading.  Jack Reacher is a character in a couple of Child's books.  Lee Child has a series in the process.

            Jack is a veteran wonderer.  From military to wonderer.  He travels by foot, purchases clothes as he needs them.  No baggage, no fuss, or so he thought.  He wonders into 2 small towns, Hope and Despair.  Despair has a secret.  Hope employs a lovely police women.  Jack goes up against a whole town of Despair. 

What could a quiet recycling plant in the middle of Colorado be making?  Why is there a military post at the entrance of the plant?  Why does one man own everything in Despair?  Will Jack fall in love?

            The book has action and tender moments.  Jack is a man's man and a women's unknown hero.  I would recommend the book for summer reading.

            Enjoy...
