Book: Fatal Error
Byhenry January 3, 2012
J. A. Jance is one of my favorites in the mystery/thriller category, and Fatal Error is up to her best standard. I enjoyed every minute of the book. I didn’t feel like speed reading through anything, and I never felt that she’d left out part of the story, which is a rare thing for me….

Byhenry October 30, 2013
This was the first book I’ve read by Sarah Graves. I must confess that initially I came close to abandoning the book.

Early in my college days I encountered a man who would have a substantial influence on my life.
