Random list of 10 books Monday! I have read and enjoyed each of these enough to flag for a potential personal library purchase.

Be bold and just choose randomly, stick to your normal genre...or step outside of your normal reading zone and try something you usually wouldn’t. You can look up the descriptions at Amazon.com, or search my blog for old posts by entering the title in the little search box in the top left-hand corner and clicking the magnifying glass.

The Informant

The Informant by James Grippando

Grippando is one of my favorite suspense authors. He creates compelling characters and thrilling plots.

This is his second novel. FBI Agent Victoria Santos is investigating a serial killer. Someone is playing a game with reporter Mike Posten, predicting when the next killing will take place. The FBI and the reporter join forces to try and stop the murders.

The story moves fast and the suspense level stays high. I highly recommend Grippando to all suspense/police drama readers.
