TOM CLANCY’S ENEMY CONTACT
If you enjoy Jack Ryan novels, you will find this one a winner.
I do not know why, but Jack Ryan is not one of my favorite super-hero spies.
But James Bond, Ethan Hunt, and Jason Borne are more to my spy-mindset.

THERE’S A BOY IN THE GIRL’S BATHROOM
This has got to be my very favorite book of all time for a read-aloud book for upper-elementary and middle school students.
I have just completed the book- possibly for the 54th plus time. I read it this time for part of an author study needed to one of my writing classes.
If you have never read it, you should! Even if you happen to be a very old middle school student.
I am quite sure it was not a New York Times Best Seller but it did win 20 other Best Book Awards/ Master Book Awards.

SUNSET BEACH
Mary Kay Andrews
Drue Campbell finds herself the proud owner of a dilapidated bungalow on the beach left to her upon the passing of her mother.
Her father, estranged from her life since fifteen, makes an appearance at her mother’s funeral and offers her a job at his law firm. The firm is in the same town as her new home.
In the attic of her grandparent’s bungalow, her new home, Drue stubbles across some empty boxes filled with an unsolved murder.
When Drue asks her father about the mystery woman murdered, her father lies. Drue feels compelled to investigate, even if the truth implicates her father.
I collected it from the library because it was a Best Seller, plus it was LARGE PRINT.
It was a great read!
I repeat… It was a great read!

THE SENTENCE IS DEATH
ANTHONY HOROWITZ
A very enjoyable read.
Once you get started, you won’t want to put it down.
Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne, and his sidekick (Anthony) are called upon to investigate the death of the extremely successful divorce attorney, Richard Bryce.
Mr. Bryce was found bludgeoned to death- the murder weapon, a 1982 Chateau Lafite worth £3,000.
Bryce had once said that every time he closed a case he created a new enemy, so there were many suspects from which Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne could choose.
There were three clues to assist in the investigation, although all three might be red herrings:
I don’t think I have read any other Anthony Horowitz’s books, but now I plan to do so!
