I've read all the books, and I say they're well written, 'unputdownable', riveting and above all, educative. The criminal mind is a vast thing. As such, books such as these can help us in our endeavour to understand it.

With Sidney Sheldon's Bloodline, Sam Roffe's murderer was someone I had not suspected till the very end.

With Kathy Reich's 206 Bones, it was apparent Brielle had sabotaged Temperance's investigation, but it was hard to understand her motive until it was revealed in the latter part of the novel.

Reading Daniel Silva's The Messenger gave me a thrill I'm not sure I'll find again when reading another book. Gabriel Allon's wit, Sarah Bancroft's courage and all the other details gave me an adrenaline rush.

Finally, John Grisham's Partner gave me an insight into how the criminal mind really works. His lead character, Patrick Lannigan was as cunning as he was mysterious.

These are books I'll read over and over again. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I recommend The Watson girl by Leslie Wolfe and The widow by Fiona Barton.
