Born in Death by J.D. Robb

I finished The Minotaur by Barbara Vine. I really liked it. It had that old British feel to it (as if I've ever been to Britain and know what the hell I'm talking about) where all the characters are a bit too reserved and "polite" to make them seem quite rude. The author did a great job at ensuring the reader only felt drawn to the two main characters and she wrote a mystery that didn't leave one afraid to be alone in the house. Maybe afraid to be alone with some crazy English women but I don't have any around here. Highly recommended. On a side note, I find it interesting that I didn't pick up on what John's (one of the main characters) true "illness" was. In the book, he has been labeled schizophrenic but in truth, it's something else. Read to find out.

So now I'm on to another J.D. Robb novel. I like to read her books when I want complete, mindless enjoyment. Her novels, set in the future (but not hokey) always are a hit and never disappoint. This one is called Born In Death and it is the 23rd in the series. I've read them all and they never get old or repetetive. Each one is fresh and new and because they involved recurring characters, the books keep "growing". The interesting thing is that in the 23 novels I've read, only about 2 or 3 years have gone by. It's pretty nice because you never feel like you've "missed" something in the characters lives. Anyway, I'm sure this will be a quick read and I'll be on to the next "heavy" novel by Sunday.

Later.
