You have good reason to be afraid. . . .
It was a case that haunts Bobby Dodge to this day—the case that nearly killed him and changed his life forever. Now, in an underground chamber on the grounds of an abandoned Massachusetts mental hospital, the gruesome discovery of six mummified corpses resurrects his worst nightmare: the return of a killer he thought dead and buried. There’s no place to run. . . . Bobby’s only lead is wrapped around a dead woman’s neck. Annabelle Granger has been in hiding for as long as she can remember. Her childhood was a blur of new cities and assumed identities. But what—or who—her family was running from, she never knew. Now a body is unearthed from a grave, wearing a necklace bearing Annabelle’s name, and the danger is too close to escape. This time, she’s not going to run. You know he will find you. . . .
The new threat could be the dead psychopath’s copycat, his protégé—or something far more terrifying. Dodge knows the only way to find him is to solve the mystery of Annabelle Granger, and to do that he must team up with his former lover, partner, and friend D. D. Warren from the Boston P.D. But the trail leads back to a woman from Bobby’s past who may be every bit as dangerous as the new killer—a beautiful survivor-turned-avenger with an eerie link to Annabelle. From its tense opening pages to its shocking climax, Hide is a thriller that delves into our deepest, darkest fears. Where there is no one to trust. Where there is no place left to hide.

!1: Best Buy Former police sniper Bobby Dodge decided after the traumatic events of ALONE that his career needed to take a new direction. He decided to finally take the detective exam and leave the split second decisions that his previous assignment had required to some one else. On his first assignment as a detective he was called in to assist on a case headed by none other than D. D. Warren, a friend and former lover. An underground chamber had been found on the site of a closed mental health facility, a chamber filled with the bagged remains of six young women, a chamber with disturbing similarities to the one used by the psychopath that had figured in ALONE. Was this some of his work? Too bad he could not be questioned about the crimes. The best clue they had was a locket engraved with the name on one of the victims. Too bad the owner of the locket appeared in police headquarters to announce that she was very much still alive. She told Bobby and D. D. a story though that added confusion to the case. When she was a young girl mysterious packages arrived for her, left by an unknown stalked. Her parents decided that in order to protect her they needed to run away, and so from the time she had been seven every few months she had a new identity in a new town, always hiding from some unknown danger. Finally as an adult she had gone home to Boston, thinking that after all these years there could not possibly be any more danger. Bobby and D. D. did not know what danger the parents had feared, or if it had passed. What they did know was that the young woman bore a striking resemblance to Catherine, the woman who had nearly destroyed Bobby's career.
This is an intriguing story, an exciting thriller that will keep the reader turning pages far into the night to see what will happen next. There is a strong tie in to the previous book, ALONE, as so while it is possible to read and enjoy this novel with out reading the earlier story in order to fully appreciate this novel read the two books in order. on Sale!

The First Full Length Stephanie Plum Between-the-Numbers Novel from #1 Bestselling Author Janet Evanovich. Turn on all the lights and check under your bed. Things are about to get spooky in Trenton, New Jersey. According to legend, the Jersey Devil prowls the Pine Barrens and soars above the treetops in the dark of night. As eerie as this might seem, there are things in the Barrens that are even more frightening and dangerous. And there are monkeys. Lots of monkeys. Wulf Grimoire is a world wanderer and an opportunist who can kill without remorse and disappear like smoke. He’s chosen Martin Munch, boy genius, as his new business partner, and he’s chosen the Barrens as his new playground. Munch received his doctorate degree in quantum physics when he was twenty-two. He’s now twenty-four, and while his brain is large, his body hasn’t made it out of the boys’ department at Macy’s. Anyone who says good things come in small packages hasn’t met Munch. Wulf Grimoire is looking for world domination. Martin Munch would be happy if he could just get a woman naked and tied to a tree. Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has Munch on her most-wanted list for failure to appear in court. Plum is the all-American girl stuck in an uncomfortable job, succeeding on luck and tenacity. Usually she gets her man. This time she gets a monkey. She also gets a big guy named Diesel. Diesel pops in and out of Plum’s life like birthday cake – delicious to look at and taste, not especially healthy as a steady diet, gone by the end of the week if not sooner. He’s an über bounty hunter with special skills when it comes to tracking men and pleasing women. He’s after Grimoire, and now he’s also after Munch. And if truth were told, he wouldn’t mind setting Stephanie Plum in his crosshairs. Diesel and Plum hunt down Munch and Grimoire, following them into the Barrens, surviving cranberry bogs, the Jersey Devil, a hair-raising experience, sand in their underwear, and, of course . . . monkeys.
!1: Best Buy So I have been reading this series for years now. I wasn't sure when I started, but I got hooked. This book is definitely not the best - most of the in-between novellas aren't, but it's part of the series. Did I laugh? Yep! I was in tears at one point because I was at work and trying not to laugh out loud. yes - some of the book was way out there and a little repetitive, but I have learned to expect that. And with the time gap between the books, sometimes i need the memory jog. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope you do too! on Sale!

!1: Best Buy Of all of the Women's Club Murder mysteries, this one has to be my favorite! James Patterson and Maxine Paetro do a stellar job of weaving a tale that keeps the reader interested, cover-to-cover. I had a very hard time putting this book down, and finished it in a matter of several days!
This has to be one of the toughest cases yet for the Women's Murder Club - a deranged killer is targeting women and children all over San Francisco, and the bodies are piling up. Meanwhile, a string of jewel thefts ends tragically for one high-profile couple, when the wife is murdered, presumably by the jewel thief.

Together at last! From America’s favorite #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a very special edition containing not one, but three Between-the-Numbers books: Visions of Sugar Plums, Plum Lovin’ and Plum Lucky

Plum Lucky
Stephanie Plum is looking to get lucky...In an Atlantic City hotel room…In a Winnebago…And with a brown-eyed stud who has stolen her heart.
!1: Best Buy everyone is so disappointed and upset calling this book a scam, expecially fans of this series. If you are really a fan of this series and were eagerly waiting the next book you would know this was not a new release in the series, but a compilation of previously released titles.
You can tell just by looking at the cover this is not a new release but a compilation of her first "in between" novels. It had the names of the first 3 "in between" novels in very large print on the cover. And the title the the book is called "Between the Plums." And it clearly states on the books Amazon page that this is a very special edition containing not one, but three Between-the-Numbers books. I don't know how much clearer they can be.
By now fans of her series should know all her regular titles have the book number in the title and the "in between" novels have "Plum" in the title and they state they are an "in Between Novel". I agree with "Rob H" if you just took the time to read the descriptions you wouldn't be disappointed.
I never write reviews but I was very upset when I read all the reviews stating that the publisher was just trying to cheat people when the description of the book and what it contained were very clearly written. I also got very upset when I read a few reviews state that these were just old books with new characters written in to make a new book, when clearly this wasn't so either. Which makes it so sad that this book has such a low rating just because no one took the 10 seconds it would have taken to read the books description. on Sale!
±1±: Now is the time Ice Cold: A Rizzoli & Isles Novel Order Today!

New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen’s relentless, inventive novels take readers on pulse-racing thrill rides that are as satisfying as they are heart-stopping. Now, in this edge-of-your-seat suspense novel, a mysteriously isolated town stands abandoned as a silent watcher waits.
In Wyoming for a medical conference, Boston medical examiner Maura Isles joins a group of friends on a spur-of-the-moment ski trip. But when their SUV stalls on a snow-choked mountain road, they’re stranded with no help in sight. As night falls, the group seeks refuge from the blizzard in the remote village of Kingdom Come, where twelve eerily identical houses stand dark and abandoned. Something terrible has happened in Kingdom Come: Meals sit untouched on tables, cars are still parked in garages. The town’s previous residents seem to have vanished into thin air, but footprints in the snow betray the presence of someone who still lurks in the cold darkness—someone who is watching Maura and her friends.
Days later, Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli receives the grim news that Maura’s charred body has been found in a mountain ravine. Shocked and grieving, Jane is determined to learn what happened to her friend. The investigation plunges Jane into the twisted history of Kingdom Come, where a gruesome discovery lies buried beneath the snow. As horrifying revelations come to light, Jane closes in on an enemy both powerful and merciless—and the chilling truth about Maura’s fate.
±1±: Best Buy Ice Cold is the latest installment in Tess Gerritsen's series featuring medical examiner Maura Isles and homicide detective Jane Rizzoli. This time out, Maura is off to a medical conference in Wymoing. An impulsive change of plan has her taking a road trip with an old acquaintance and his friends, but a series of unfortunate circumstances puts their lives in danger--a snow storm, a wrong turn. Their SUV gets stuck in a ditch in the middle of nowhere, and the only shelter around is a ghost town, Kingdom Come, whose inhabitants apparently fled in the middle of eating dinner. Things get worse from there. It takes very little for their jaunt to turn into a nightmare, only a few moments to make a happy-go-lucky character beg his friends to kill him: one's life really can turn on a dime.
The first half of Ice Cold, before its various mysteries begin to be resolved, is a scary, gripping read, and I had a hard time putting the book down (and turning off the lights) in the midst of it. When the answers start coming the book continues to surprise: what happened at Kingdom Come isn't what we might expect.
Once again after finishing one of Tess Gerritsen's novels I find myself wondering why I haven't read all of the books in her Rizzoli and Isles series by now, start to finish. But this time I did something about it: immediately after finishing Ice Cold I downloaded the first book in the series, The Surgeon, to my Kindle.
