What Sonny Hudson is reading & recommending.....

I just finished the latest novel from David Baldacci, Divine Justice. It's the latest (final??) in the Camel Club series, and like all of David's books, it does not disappoint. Scarpetta by Patricia Cornwell   While not as much to my taste as some of her very earliest books based on her Kay Scarpetta character (a great character, by the way), I think it's her best work of the past few years. Recently read: Simple Genius by David Baldacci -- how the heck did I miss this book, and the others in the series, when they came out? Even though I was reading this one, the third in the series, without having read the two preceeding it, it didn't diminish my enjoyment a bit. Highly recommended! Whole Truth & The Collectors (both by David Baldacci) - I read both of these books over the past 4-6 months and both were top-notch. But then again, aren't his books always that good? The 5th Horseman: Women's Murder Club by James Patterson: OK, I'm not exactly in the target demographic for the Women's Murder Club series. I picked this book up in paperback from an airport book store while traveling God-knows-where. I wasn't expecting to like it even though I am a big fan of James Patterson, particulalry his Alex Cross novels. But this book/this series? Focused on women and targeted towards women? What the heck -- I loved it! I plan to read others in the series as time allows, even if they're not considered a 'manly' book. Good writing is good writing -- and what can I say? I'm a big fan of Gray's Anatomy and Private Practice and a couple of other 'chick shows', so I shouldn't have been all that surprised:)
