Jacquie Myburgh _ — This is a great summer read! If you have a sister or not, any woman will really enjoy this book. My mom passed it to me and she got it from her sister.

Alexey Skuryat _lexey_kuryat — Eh. Half the fun of the Stephanie Plum books are Morelli and Ranger, and they don't make many appearances in the between-the-numbers books. Diesel stars, and I don't find him interesting and he's not part of the relationship equation. The leprechaun thing is moderately amusing, the horse is funny... It's fun enough, a fast read, but I'm definately not excited when the between the numbers books get released.

Marlon Vance _ance3ada — I'd call this book a good read, not great, but it was solid. Not the type of book I couldn't put down, but looked forward to reading nonetheless. The main character, Kate, is a Renaissance scholar who also happens to be a PI for a covert government-type unit. She takes on a case regarding an antique manuscript after an attempted robbery of that manuscript in London, which resulted in the death of the thief. She believes the manuscript may have been created during the reign of Elizabeth I, as a catalog of all spy intelligence from that era - a major find from a scholarly perspective rather than a monetary one. The overall plot regarding that storyline is kept pretty basic, and involves her finding ways to decipher the manuscript (which was all in code) in order to discover who would want to steal it, and why. However, this plot is interspersed with a second story set back in the reign of Elizabeth I, with the main character Christopher Marlowe- playwright and spy- as he's working on an assignment to track down the person(s) responsible for smuggling in goods from the Far East into England. The time frame of this story is within a few weeks of Marlowe's death, so we can assume whatever truth he discovers is what gets him killed. A third plot line, which acts as a second assignment for Kate, involves a shady art dealer who has connections with terrorists and is suspected of being part of illegal dealings involving WMD with US enemies. This plot line also involves a US spy, whose identity is kept from the reader, whom was thought to be dead, but since discovered to have been alive and held in an Iranian prison. If it sounds like this book has a lot going on, it's because it does - a little too much. Generally, I like books that move between various plot lines which seem to be inter-connected, but you don't know how until the end; this book seemed to be like that, but ultimately never followed through. Each plot just seemed like 3 different stories so that you almost forgot about the other ones until you came to a new chapter. ***SPOILER ALERT*** It turns out, in the end, none of the stories really were connected. I think the conclusion of the book is the reason I can't say this was a great book. To me, it fell flat. The two assignments Kate was working on never did merge as I was expecting them to, they weren't related at all. I didn't understand the point of having two completely separate story lines for the main character. I think this is because what I will call the main plot- the manuscript - is weak. If you took out the Marlowe and art dealer story lines, the manuscript theft wasn't much of a story. Sure, there was a sad attempt by a amateur to steal it from her once, and another death that may be related to it, but for the most part, the meat of that story is just her deciphering the manuscript. The author tried to play up that plot a little with a mysterious 'Jade Dragon' character, but there was so little of the story focused on that it became almost forgettable. Without the other two plots, the manuscript part isn't enough to be a story. It probably could have been, but too much time was spent on the other plots to build up a mystery behind the manuscript. What the manuscript actually revealed was the most interesting aspect of that plot. Marlowe's story, while connected in the sense that his spying was part of the manuscript, really stood on it's own and did not lead to any information that affected the modern day manuscript plot. Since the mystery behind the manuscript theft is how this story is sold to a reader, it just seems disappointing. The other problem for me was that I'd pretty much figured out a lot of the plot ahead of time; not enough for me to stop reading, but I knew where she was going with things, and a lot of the intrigue was lost. The mysterious US spy's identity seemed obvious to me, as did the Jade Dragon. I also guessed correctly the twist on the Marlowe plot (although to be fair, I did second guess myself for a few pages that dealt with the aftermath of this death.) Maybe my love of history is what kept me reading, I really couldn't have cared less about the art dealer/spy story, it was the manuscript and Marlowe's stories that held my interest. It gives a whole new side of the Elizabethan era I don't know much about; it also helped that it was based on factual historical characters and events (though the story itself is fictionalized.) Good read for history buffs.

Natasha Zorski zorski — I enjoyed reading this book but at times I was unsure if I was really understanding what was going on.
