Books read in 2010

After watching Hardcover Mysteries on Investigation Discovery a couple of weeks ago, I've been hooked on Lisa Scottoline's books. Hardcover Mysteries is a true crime TV show that talks with popular novelists about a real life crime that helped inspire their crime fiction books. Scottoline hosted one of the shows and I liked her personality. I checked out six of her books two days later at the library. I have read four of her books since October 20 and love them. Scottoline's writing is wonderful and she can draw the reader into her stories. I recommend her books highly.
