Thank you both for the suggestions.
Maggy May - I could've sworn I've read a PM from you last night ( late, late at night), but now it's nowhere to be found. Anyway, you're welcome and yes, I'm definitely going to read some of them.
I really enjoyed Lisa Gardner's "Hide" but "Alone" was kind of a yawn for me. "Guilty as Sin" by Tami Hoag was a one night read ( or shall I say "Literary one night stand

) for me. Definitely gonna check out the rest - are they connected? Where should I start?
Also, I tried reading Brown's "Crush", but I got bored pretty soon. "Where There is Evil" was her best work, IMO.
Linda Howard- I'll check them out.
Hedwig - Thank ou so much for your reply. I used to love Kava up until "Stroke of Madness", it all went downhill there ( if you pardon the pun

)
Actually, I picked up Roberts' "Tribute" a few nights ago, so far so good.
Yes, I know, I'm hard to please when it comes to books...
