Great vampire book for all ages., Dec 24 2001

The Last Vampire was published by Archway Paperbacks (Pocket Books) as a book for "young adults" but it is can be enjoyed by all fans of the vampire genre. It is concise and fast-paced and totally unlike the slow moving and sometimes wordy Anne Rice books. The book introduces us to a 5,000 year old vampire who looks like a beautiful 18 year old girl. She is intelligent, powerful and deadly. If you like vampires, you will like The Last Vampire.

Wonderful Victorian Mystery/Romance, Sep 21 2001

This is the third book in an excellent series of Victorian mysteries. The romance in these books reminds me somewhat of the delightful Harriet Vane/Lord Peter mysteries by Dorothy Sayers. The historical research is impressive and the writing is great. In Death at Daisy's Folly the authors describe life the highest ranks of society in Victorian England. The Prince of Wales and his mistress, Daisy, are spending a weekend at Daisy's estate. Sir Charles Sheridan is asked by the Prince to investigate a suspicious death, and Sir Charles and the lovely Kate are thrown together again during the investigation. If you enjoy romance, history and mystery, you will enjoy this book.

John Sandford is not Agatha Christie, Sep 19 2001

John Sandford novels are not the puzzle mysteries that Dame Agatha fashioned so well. Mr. Sandford's stories contain gore, violence, humor and sex. He tells his stories well, but don't buy a Sandford novel expecting to find a "fair" mystery with all of the clues set out in a way that the reader can unscramble. In Easy Prey, the 11th book in the Prey series, Minneapolis Deputy Police Chief Lucas Davenport goes after the murderer of a beautiful fashion model. Suspicion falls on lovers, drug dealers and others. The deaths mount as the hunt continues.
