Kathleen Beavier of Boston is a wholesome, all-American 16-year-old who suddenly finds herself pregnant, even though doctors confirm that she is a virgin. Colleen Galaher of Ireland, age 14, is an innocent who finds herself in the same situation. Anne Fitzgerald is a private investigator (and a former nun) who is hired by the Archdiocese of Boston to investigate these strange occurrences. Is one girl carrying a savior, and one about to bear the son of Satan? This intriguing novel will keep the reader turning pages to find the answers to these questions.

Lucas Davenport is back in Easy Prey. This fast paced thriller starts with the murder of two women at a party, one a famous model, the other an employee of a local hotel. The police assume the model is the target of the killer and the other woman got in the way, but are their assumptions correct? As the body count mounts, Davenport begins to suspect there are two murderers. And if this case isn't enough trouble, Lucas is attracted to three women with whom he develops relationships while conducting the investigation.

What seems like devotion to one person can look exactly like obsession to another. Joe Rose and his wife Clarissa were on a picnic when they become tangled up in a hideous ballooning accident. At some point in the incident, Joe meets Jed Parry. Jed feels something pass between them, and both of their worlds change forever. As Jed’s love becomes obsession and eventually becomes violence, he, Joe and Clarissa tumble headlong into confusion, chaos, and a shocking conclusion. What is so wonderful about this novel is that we slowly see Joe become almost as obsessed with Jed as Jed is with him, a strange and urgent emotion that tears all three of them apart. McEwan’s writing is tight, exciting and a joy to read.

Andrew Thomas has been on the run for the past seven years, framed for the murder of his mother and others found buried on his property in Davidson, North Carolina. Andrew has disguised himself, gotten a new identity and is living in the tiny town of Yukon, Canada. Even in Yukon, Andrew hears about the deaths in Davidson and the kidnapping of the wife of a former friend. Risking recognition and capture but knowing someone is trying to get his attention, he flies to North Carolina to stop the killing. While the body count is fairly high, the gore is kept to a minimum. This story is so suspenseful that you hate to put it down however you hate to keep reading because you’re sure something worse is going to happen.

Jack Reacher, ex-Army Special Investigator, has a limited bank account which he closely monitors, but little else. Jack prefers to live this way - no phone, no residence, no car - anonymous. Then $1030.00 appears in his account, and he realizes a former colleague is using an Army code to request urgent assistance. What follows is a reunion of the special investigators minus members who have been murdered. This reunion is welcomed by each of the members, but it also brings back the days when they worked together - the closeness and the separateness. Soon the old patterns are re-established and they pool their resources and special strengths. Investigating the deaths of their friends, Reacher and his team find corruption, greed, coercion, and government involvement in a murderously twisted scheme. Child has again written a fast knuckle-biting thriller.

Little do they know that someone wants them dead, and they will stop at nothing to make sure the family's boat does not make it home.

This is definitely a thriller!! If you don't like spiders stay away from this book. This story has many, many spiders of several scary and deadly kinds including human. The "bad guy" is called alternately "Spidey" and the "Burgerman". There are several parallel stories here and several victims. Child abduction and murder are vying for attention by the "good guys". Their first hint of him is at the site of a plane crash when an extra leg is found in a tree. From there on out it's a race to identify and find him. We get frightening glimpses of him and his victims throughout the book. I will carry this scary man in my head for a long time - many bad dreams to come.

Then they find the bullet in her leg. Detective Jane Rizzoli is called in and the story is off to a great start. Several other mummies and bones in and out of the museum make this tale a page turner until the end. Archeology and museums make a great scary background for thrillers.

This story starts with a dead body frozen in place in a swimming pool at an old hotel. They remove it with a chainsaw and defrost it in the morgue. That’s when they find out about the radiation. When they discover he was a scientist from “Atomic City” it leads them to secrets dating back to World War II and the creation of the atom bomb. This is set in the mountains of Tennessee in a town especially built to make plutonium and secretly help make the atom bomb. Scientists, soldiers, their families and the support staff were all living there. How events from then and today intersect to cause his murder is as much a story for murder fans as WWII buffs.

Hart has left Rowan County, the setting of his earlier books, but not the dark side of humanity. Young Johnny Merrimon knows too much of pain – far too much. The abduction and apparent death of his twin sister Allyson has made pain the core of his existence. When his father disappears, filled with despair, life becomes a living hell for Johnny and his mother. This case has gone cold, but one Detective Hunt can’t let it go; neither can Johnny. Both are determined to find the truth whatever that may be. Set in a fictional county in the Sandhills region of North Carolina, this novel is a portrait of pain, evil, and pedophilia, but also the search for truth and redemption. This dark novel is worth the read.

Unable to avoid the newest wave of staff layouts, Jack prepares to place one foot out the door when he spots an opportunity to land a big news story before he leaves the job. There’s a murder story of a young, white woman and the accused, a black teenager with a criminal background. While grooming his replacement, Jack concludes the police have the wrong suspect and he presses on with his personal investigation. That investigation runs dangerously close to the tech guru The Scarecrow and Jack never sees the threats coming. Novelist Michael Connelly pens a creepily plausible, good thriller.
