Confessions: The Private School Murders

Title: Confessions: The Private School Murders

Author: James Patterson

Pages: 7 discs

Genre: Thriller

Grade: B

Synopsis: Wealthy young women are being murdered in Manhattan and the police don't see any correlation between the cases. Tandy Angel fits the potential serial killer's target perfectly, but can she unravel the mystery before she herself gets killed?

My Review: Honestly, I read this book about 6 months ago and hardly remember it, so that may give you an idea about how awesome it is. I didn't read the first book in the series (I didn't even know this book was part of a series until sitting down to write this lame review). Maybe as a series they would be more memorable.

Along Came a Spider

Title: Along Came a Spider

Author: James Patterson

Pages: 12 discs?

Genre: Mystery/Thriller

Grade: B+

Synopsis: This is the first Patterson novel with Alex Cross (It's also the first Patterson book that I've read).  Cross is an African-American detective working in the poor areas of DC.  He is pulled into a case where the son of The Secretary of the Treasury and the daughter of an American movie star are kidnapped by a deadly psychopath teacher at their private school. 

My Review: Sometimes you're just in the mood for a thriller and this story did not disappoint.  It's not a book for the fainthearted as the kidnapper is a major psychopath and doesn't hold anything back.
