One for the Money by Janet Evanovich

I read this book because a member of my book club has been raving how funny this series is since our book club started.  A few months ago while I was looking through a list of movies, I’d noticed this book had been produced with Katherine Heigl acting as the main character.  Since I’d already been thinking of reading this book, that sold me.

I didn’t find it laugh out loud funny as I’d been anticipating due to the hype from my fellow book club member; however there were parts that were pretty funny.  Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter.  She has no money and needs cash fast, so she sets her sights on this guy that has a $10,000 pay off if she brings him in.  She has a few unsuccessful encounters with him, and decides she needs to try an easier catch for cash.  The story involves a murder, a psycho boxer, an ex cop, and Stephanie.  The tale is interesting, not too farfetched and should make a fantastic film.

Fifty Shades Freed by E. L. James

Finished the trilogy on the weekend.  This book was like one and two combined.  The first half started out with a lot of sex and the second half had substance with a good storyline.  Action and finding out the pieces of Christian's past.  Everything gets tied together nicely, however it is left open for more books to be written.  I wasn't as involved in this book, didn't care to pick it up.  After the first two it was just more of the same, but I wanted to know what happened.  Now I shall wait for them to be made into movies.  I'm interested in the casting.  

Children in the Morning by Anne Emery

This is the second book I've read by Anne.  The first was "The Sign of the Cross" which was also a mystery.  This book actually had the same main characters in it.  And it's also set in Halifax.  It even mentions Blockhouse!  It's neat to read books that talk about an area I can picture.  So anyway, this woman dies, and her husband looks guilty and it goes to trial.  He's found not guilty and then we find out about his childhood, and other events that happened a few years ago.  After that you may like him, you may not.
