Eye of Vengenance by Jonathon King, which I really enjoyed although it
was not a Max Freeman book.

When Darkness Falls by James Grippando. Very good. I really like his
books. Read this one for review.

Rebel Fay by Barb & J.C. Hendee, fantasy for review. This was a
pretty good fantasy book but wish I had enough sense to have looked it
up before reading. I enjoyed it but it was the fifth in a series and
I am sure I would have enjoyed it much more if I had read the previous
ones first as the book kept eluding to past events that left me lost.

Gone, by Jonathan Kellerman; fast and snappy, great airplane
reading. The Hidden City, by Carol Emshwiller -- not mystery,
very lean, interesting SF about alien tourists stranded on earth.
Trauma, by Graham Masterson, a mystery with horror overtones.
Rebecca Tope's A Killing in the Cotswolds, which was slow and a
bit muddy, but I liked the protagonist (relatively newly widowed).
And A Dartmoor Burial by Penelope somebody (can't lay hands
on it just now), a pleasant village cosy, I guess.

Just started The Janissary Tree -- we're going on an Elderhostel
tour in September which includes several days in Istamboul.
