Title: Force of Nature
Author: C.J. Box
Genre: Suspense
Synopsis: The main character, Joe, is a forest ranger with a friend who is running from a rogue government agent with whom he used to be a colleague. Set in Northern Wyoming in a fictional town called Twelve Sleep. Joe tries to keep his family from being a target for the rogue agent while also trying to help his friend. A bit violent, but nothing most people couldn't handle.
My rating: *** 1/2
I like this author especially since the setting of all his books is the part of Wyoming where George grew up.

New author

Just discovered a new author that I REALLY like!

Title: The Truth-Teller's Lie
Author: Sophie Hannah
Genre: Detective mystery
Synopsis: A woman has been raped, but doesn't tell anyone.She is also having an affair with a married man. When he vanishes without explanation and the police don't look for him as diligently as she'd like,  she desperately tells the police he's the one who raped her, so they'll look harder.
My rating: **** Really a good book with lots of twists and turns. The ending is not what you'd expect. Her writing is similar to that of Tana French, whom I love!

I'm needing suggestions for interesting, wholesome books for my granddaughter, who is turning 16 next week. She's not a consistent reader, so her reading skills aren't wonderful, but I'd like something that will keep her attention. Not even sure if she likes fantasy, or realistic fiction, or what, but I'd guess she'd probably like something kind of light that has to do with teenage girls meeting teenage boys! Any ideas out there?

Title: The Rope
Author: Nevada Barr
Genre: Suspense/Mystery
Synopsis: I've read everything this author has written, so I ordered this book on my Nook without even thinking about it. Her main character is Anna Pigeon, and this book is actually the BEGINNING of the series even though it's coming out now. It sets the stage for all the other adventures of Anna Pigeon, and let's the reader know more about her past. It's very good, suspenseful, and I want to know what happens, dang it!
My rating: *** 1/2
