This is the 17th book in the 18 book Ben Kincaid Series. I enjoyed all of the books that I read [15] and am saddened that the last one was written in 2010. I had some difficulty in transitioning from the mainly legal to the more political domain, but I obviously grew to like the change [since I continued to read them!]. The political issues are so similar to what we are facing in current events [the Middle East; the Strait of Hormuz; tensions with Israel; etc] and they were written some 16+ years ago....amazing! I have finished the final installment, but cannot enter it until tomorrow...have to find something else to read now.

I really like this book because it is told from the viewpoint of a young boy, and I learned a lot about history.

This being the third and final book in this series makes me so sad I really loved this book more than the first two witch is very unusual for me because I NEVER like the last book but this one made me want to cry with how it ended.

The silent patient started out as a good suspenseful book. Although you were able to figure out where it was going, I still found myself wanting to finish it and discover more.

I have to admit I tried reading this book a couple months ago and put it down. I kept thinking about how it would play out- so I had to come back and finish it. It was a bit confusing and a little all over the place but I completed the book!

It has been a while since I last read a Mike Bowditch book--it was fun to return to the adventures of this Maine game warden. Bowditch is a likeable character who tends to place himself in extremely dangerous situations [but he does survive them!!!]. I especially enjoy his interactions with Shadow - his high content wolf-dog and his ex-prisoner pal Billy Cronk, his wife, and their five kids-the Cronklets.

I recently discovered this author in Libby and have been enjoying his legal thrillers. He has several series and I most enjoy the Ben Kincaid books. This book was set in the Pacific Northwest and involved the logging industry and environmentalists. At times, there was too much detail, but I did learn a lot! I look forward to starting #9 in the series.

I enjoy this cozy series set in Holmes County Ohio Amish country. The animal characters are a hoot and very likeable [probably more so than the human ones]! I especially loved Jethro [the polka dotted pig] in his role as a mushroom hunter in the book. Of course, the murder victim dies by consuming a poisonous mushroom! I cannot fathom sleeping in Bailey's bed - she is the main human character and often finds both Puff her pet rabbit and Jethro sleeping with her. This was a fun summer read.

She was a witness to a fatal car accident but there was way more to it. She knew the driver through their affair, reaches out to the driver’s wife, and ends up being best friends with her. A story line that is icky and also not really believable.

In continuing to read this series, there were a few books that were not available to me and so I had to skip to #14. This book in the series finds us moving from Oklahoma to Washington D.C. where Kincaid is defending a murder charge on the U.S. Senator from his state. I continue to find these extremely entertaining. However, some things were way too bizarre e.g. the world of goths and vampires!! Nevertheless, I have continued on to book #15!!
