In A Dark Secret by Casey Watson, Casey is a foster mom who works with special needs kids. No one seems to be able to handle Sam, a 9-yr-old boy who has only known abuse and heartache. Casey is this boy's last hope. I thought this book was pretty good and has a good storyline that kept my interest. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

"Whistle" by Linwood Barclay
In Whistle by Linwood Barclay, Annie has had a rough year. Her publisher finds her and her son a house in an out-of-the-way place, a small town in upstate New York. Now Annie can get back to doing what she does best--writing books! I have read a few books by this author, but this one is by far his best! It is filled with twists and turns with plenty of action which is why I enjoyed it so much. I always looked forward to reading it and had to force myself to put it down so it would last longer. Stephen King said this one was "Terrific" which made me want to read it. He was right! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

Martha is called when a man accused of rape is found dead in a river. Someone says otherwise and Martha must decide if she got it right so investigates the murder on her own. This book is pretty good but could use more action. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)
