Mailbox Monday - which I'm a little late or early- depends on how you look at it, is/was hosted by
The Printed Page and each month its hosted by a different blogger. This month it's hosted by
The Bluestocking Guide. Love the look of her blog!
So, what's mailbox Monday?
Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
I was thrilled to receive Fallen
by Karin Slaughter! If you like a good mystery crime thriller, you'd like Karin Slaughter books.
Product Description
There’s no police training stronger than a cop’s instinct. Faith Mitchell’s mother isn’t answering her phone. Her front door is open. There’s a bloodstain above the knob. Her infant daughter is hidden in a shed behind the house. All that the Georgia Bureau of Investigations taught Faith Mitchell goes out the window when she charges into her mother’s house, gun drawn. She sees a man dead in the laundry room. She sees a hostage situation in the bedroom. What she doesn’t see is her mother. . . .
“You know what we’re here for. Hand it over, and we’ll let her go.”
When the hostage situation turns deadly, Faith is left with too many questions, not enough answers. To find her mother, she’ll need the help of her partner, Will Trent, and they’ll both need the help of trauma doctor Sara Linton. But Faith isn’t just a cop anymore—she’s a witness. She’s also a suspect.
The thin blue line hides police corruption, bribery, even murder. Faith will have to go up against the people she respects the most in order to find her mother and bring the truth to light—or bury it forever.
Karin Slaughter’s most exhilarating novel yet is a thrilling journey through the heart and soul, where the personal and the criminal collide, and conflicted loyalties threaten to destroy reputations and ruin lives. It is the work of a master of the thriller at the top of her game, and a whirlwind of unrelenting suspense.

THE PREDATOR
New York City has a monster on the loose and his name is Tarryn Cooper Love.
No one had given a second glance to the handsome taxi driver, but in reality he had been molded to be a killer since early childhood. His mother, who valued a juicy murder above all else, had taught him well. Just one more trophy and he is set to reach his goal, surpassing his mother's idol, the infamous Ted Bundy.
THE PREY
When a beautiful young woman gets into his cab flashing a wad of cash, he thinks he's hit the jackpot. As she starts confessing her plans for ending her own life he decides to listen to her story, hoping to charm her back from the brink of death, to heighten his game.
What he discovers is a twisted tale that has taken her from the hardened streets of LA to the upper crust of New York...a story that might even rival his own.
Tarryn has to decide within the space of 24 hours, if he should kill her or save her - and perhaps save himself in the process.

That's it for this week!
What does Tom think?
Yep, its a little late. There hasn't been much of a summer here, mostly in the low 70's, cold, windy but it was in the high 70's yesterday and the rest of the week its supposed to stay that way . We went to the beach and baked in the sun. Reading and building sandcastles.

"A small army of security guards held back the riff raff and the paparazzi. It was like arriving at some sort of movie premier, yet Nick hadn't even told Katherine what the occasion was."
" It's ok, It's only June. Baseball is a marathon not a sprint," James replied. "Well, I hope they sprint their ass to the World Series this year. I would like to see them win a championship in my lifetime."
