Big Guys with big hearts.  Stories of animals they have saved and also bios of the guys themselves. Makes me want to go to New York to adopt one of their saved dog or cat the next time they have their open adoption day!!!! 
I do like Mary Russell and her partnership with Sherlock Holmes.  So the questions is,   is the Letter of Mary a letter from Mary's friend or is a letter from Mary Magdelene?????    And why was it worth killing for??   Enjoyable read.    Next in this series is "The Moor".

The Girl Who Disappeared Twice by Andrea Kane

Quick, easy read.  Part of the "who-done-it" was a no-brainer, but still the book kept you interested.  I enjoyed meeting the Forensic Instincts characters.  They remind me a bit of the Monkeewrench group in the P.J. Tracy novels, but not quite as colorful.
The second book in this new series just came out last month, so look for that to make an appearance on my Toppling Bookpile!

This was an early review for me and the first time that I met the character, Jason Kolarich.  I really liked him.   He is a lawyer with a sense of humor and a little ruthless at times.  As you can tell by the title of the book,  the wrong man is accused of a crime and Jason is the attorney that is representing him. Lots of twists and turns, but also some expecting events.  This is the third in David Ellis's series featuring Jason.   I will be reading the first and second in this series soon.   Enjoyable read. 
.Pageturners Book Club had a good time dissecting this book.  It followed the life of twin boys, Marion and Shiva Stone, born in Eithopia.  Their hardships, loves, and adventures.   Very thought provoking and very good discussions.

Aurora Teagarden is a small town librarian who happens to be in a murder club. Murders happen and she gets involved. Cute story but I guess I need a little more guts to a murder book.  Sort of a pun, isn't it??  lol.
