Ghost Ship
3rd in Fledgling series, Liaden universe
Baen ebook
7/18/11
Nothing much gets accomplished in this book, except ensuring that there will be another book. At least in mysteries, the murder usually gets solved.

7/20/11
It's been a while since I've read any of the "Prey" books. For that matter, it's been a while since I read this one. Lucas is married, and working with, not for, the police. His wife is involved as a witness.
McIntosh, Fiona

early July -- Almost caught up!!
Weber, David
A Mighty Fortress
4th in Safehold/Charis series
7/10/11 -- Yes, it really took that long to read.
This book is 1100 pages long, and I cut it in half this time (literally). Much easier to hold. Weber has a tendency to over-explain, resulting in very long books, but there is not too much of that this time. I really enjoy the characters in this series, Cayleb and Sharleyan make a good ruling couple for the good guys, and Vicar Clyntahn is a villainous (thank you Google "spell check") a villain as you could want. Couple of complaints -- Names are usually almost recognizable but always twisted with alternate spellings (Clinton anyone?) (Hauwerd, Wylsynn,...). And lots of action, but not much progress. I guess that means I get to enjoy more of them.
Kellerman, Faye
Hangman
Decker/Lazarus series

Hodgell, P.C.
Seeker's Bane
2nd in Kencyrath series
Baen ebook
5/12/11
This series is enjoyable, but somewhat confusing as there are time sequence changes, and location changes unpredictably. The Kencyrath are not native to the world of Rathskellian, they are world travelers who move from world to world at the direction of their gods. They don't interact much with the natives, they have staked out their own territory. The primary character is Jame, sister to the High Lord of the Kencyrath. She is the personification of one segment of the triune god, that of Nemesis. Her brother represents another segment -- the Creator. The world of Rathskellian has its own elemental beings, Earth Mother, Fire, Water, and Air.
It's complicated, but fun.
Cook, Dawn
The Decoy Princess
1st in Princess series
5/14/11

Instead, she was adopted at birth to be risen by the King and Queen while their real daughter is being raised in a convent to avoid assassins. The prince who has come to marry the princess is really a evil and ambitious second son who kills the king and queen and tries to take over the country. Tess escapes with her bodyguard and becomes his apprentice, to save the kingdom.
Newman, Sharan
The Difficult Saint
6th or so in Catherine LeVenduer series
5/17/11
I read this several years ago. Hadn't seen any in this series for several years and found them on Amazon. Catherine's sister marries a German lord, sight unseen. When he is poisoned shortly after their marriage, she is accused of his murder. Catherine and her family travel to her to solve the mystery. This is set against the backdrop of the beginning of the second Crusade, and Jews are in a precarious position. Catherine and her family are Christian, but her father was born Jewish and they have many Jewish friends. The historic detail is very interesting, and the mystery is intriging.
Bishop, Anne
Shalador's Lady
Black Jewels series, sequel to The Shadow Queen

Persons with magic have jewels, color of jewel determines strength of magic. Queens rule the land, aided by their court. Lady Cassidy has been hired to be the queen for a region that is in need of a change. One member of her court is attracted to a different queen and splits the land. All's well that ends well.

Cryptonomicon
5/24/11
Many books start slow, then get moving as you get into it. This was rather the reverse. It would have been vastly improved by paring its 1100+ pages by at least 600. It has two parallel time tracks, the present (in 1999) and World War 2. There is generally one set of characters in the present -- a small high tech firm involved in data encryption. In the World War 2 time frame there are several parallel sets of characters, including a collegue of Alan Turing. The first part of the book is very interesting, especially the discussions of the early computer development. But it really drags on much longer than needed.

Trial by Fire
5/5/11
5th in Ali Reynolds series
There is corruption in the sheriff's office and Ali is requested to be media relations consultant on a temporary basis. She gets involved in a case and helps to solve it. The characters are very interesting, from a burn victim, to a nun communicating with the victim, to a friend in the waiting room.
Pratchett, Anne
Bel Canto
5/7/11
OK this is a book club book that I really liked. A group is gathered for a Japanese industrialist's birthday party being held in a South American country with a concert by an American soprano. At the end of the performance, the lights go out, and when they come up, the ballroom is filled with kidnappers. The interaction of guests/hostages from many countries and the kidnappers is compelling.
Harris, Charlaine
Dead Over Heels
5th in Aurora Teagarden series
5/9/11
A body falls out of the sky and lands in the back yard. Ms. Harris doesn't seem to understand that women can exist with men. Her series seem to follow a pattern, two or three books to find the characters voice, then they fall into a committed relationship. Fun, but predictable.

Inda goes to be Shield Arm for King Evred. He is dispatched to defend against the Venn at sea and ends the war,but refuses the King's order to take over all the smaller kingdoms on the coast. This causes a split between the two and he retires to his home territory. This book covers several years in a sort of off hand manner. I recommend reading the first in the series first (Inda) because the (personal) titles are not easy to understand otherwise.
Wells, Rebecca
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

The later books in this series are tracking the reign of Edward II and his pal Despenser. This book is set in the fall of 1325, when law and order were breaking down due to the cronyism of Despenser. To be his friend was to be above the law, his enemies were in danger of their lives. A minor crony is taking over all in his area, killing and stealing whatever comes his way. Our heros run afoul.
