Book Description
DESCRIPTION: The explosive start of a new series by the author of the acclaimed Garnethill trilogy: neophyte journalist Paddy Meehan becomes intimately involved in her first assignment--the brutal murder of a local boy. Little Brian Wilcox's murder is the hottest story in Scotland--every major newspaper crowds its pages with stories examining the crime from every angle. If only Paddy Meehan could get a scoop on the case--a nationally syndicated story would surely launch her fledgling journalism career out of the free local rag she's been working at. But when the connection Paddy had been hoping for finally comes, it only threatens her career and family. Callum, her fiancé Sean's young cousin, is implicated in Brian's murder, and when Paddy foolishly confides in her equally ambitious coworker, Heather, all hell breaks loose. Heather betrays her and sells the story to a major newspaper, making the entire Meehan clan turn on Paddy. The only way Paddy can redeem herself in their eyes is to clear Callum's name. As Glasgow buzzes with the scandal, Paddy notices a similarity between Brian's murder and the murder of a local boy several years earlier. Using her investigative skills, Paddy sets out to solve the case--at any cost.

Simply great!.......2007-09-22
There is nothing to say about this book other than it is a great read. The author is Scottish so the usage of the English language adds more depth to the experience.
A talented mystery writer from Scotland........2006-09-12
A number of years ago, I checked out from the library a book entitled "Garnethill". The author, Denise Mina, was new to me, but the blurb on the dustjacket sounded interesting. I took the book home, and I've been hooked on her books ever since.
"Field of Blood" introduces a new character, Paddy Meehan, who much like Maureen O'Donnell from the "Garnethill" series, succeeds despite herself. The character is flawed, a bit inept, but she is committed to righting a wrong. I think she is a character most people can identify with. In any event, the writing is excellent, the humor is wry, the characters are interesting, the plot is suspenseful, and the story is fascinating.
Slow Paced and not Very Thrilling.......2006-08-12
FIELD OF BLOOD is being marketed as a fast-paced thriller, and it's anything but that. This is not a badly written novel, but most of the book revolves around the personal life of its protagonist, 18-year old aspiring journalist Paddy Meehan. The crime committed in this book is something of an afterthought.
This is a character-based book, so we learn about Meehan's strict Catholic family, her sexist colleagues, her obsesssions about her weight, her love life, and a whole host of other personal issues. Some of this is interesting, but it doesn't add up to a suspense novel, and that's what I thought I was buying.
There is also a historical subplot involving another character named Paddy Meehan that has nothing to do with the main story. This character is actually a real-life person, as Mina explains in an Author's note at the end of the novel. That's nice to know, but the story of this man's life added little to FIELD OF BLOOD, and mainly slowed the book down even further.
In the end, this novel reads more like a literary novel than a thriller. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with it. If you're looking for a suspense novel with more of a literary flavor, I would suggest Jacqueline Winspear or Lisa Unger instead.
Denise Mina Does It Again.......2006-08-11
This is the fifth of Denise Mina's novel which I have read and it is terrific. She is part of the Scottish school of mystery writers and has developed her plot creation and character development skills spectacularly. She envelopes the reader in the gritty reality of of Paddy Meehan's life as an overweight Scottish lass whose strenth of character carries her to solve the horrific deaths of two infants and brings her to the edge of possible success as a journalist. What I find particularly appealing about Paddy is that she succeeds in spite of her occasionally devatating insecurities. How much did I enjoy the book? I started reading it on a plane trip to Alabama and was so enthralled by it that, upon my return home, I sat in the airport so that I could finish it. This is a for sure "must read."
Noir? Pshaw!.......2006-08-09
The best part of this novel was the quote from the Bible at the beginning of the book, which contains the source for the novel's title. I say that in retrospect, because I was rather encouraged with the way the story played out over the first 100 pages or so. It's difficult to state my objections specifically without spoiling the plot for readers who wish to waste their time plowing through to the end. However, you don't have to read very far into the book to read about a murder, and readers should be advised that you can read well past the end of the book without getting even an inkling of why the person was killed. There is some evidence linking this murder with a past event, but the book does not provide any insight into the reasons behind the past event or the reasons why this past event and the murder at the start of the novel are linked, other than by date. The murderer is a sicko (duh) of some kind, but we never really meet the murderer except as a stick figure, and, in the one big scene, the murderer's supposed proclivities toward a certain type of crime seem to disappear in favor of proclivities of a totally different nature. And, while some victims are summarily dispensed with, others are taken to the perp's home for reasons well beyond my comprehension. To make matters worse, some historical crime drama weaves in and out of the fiction, the only two connections ultimately being that the fictional hero and the actual historical figure have the same name, and that Denise Mina met the historical figure at some point and seems to think this meeting significant enough to bore the reader with it for about a third of the book.
You know, maybe this stuff is what comprises "suspense" writing these days, but I don't think so. Dennis Lehane can write better material in his sleep. And, in fact, an old episode of "Mannix" or "Cannon" or "The Streets of San Francisco" would offer more plausible plotting and more credible psychology.

Another tough but brilliant Mina offering.......2007-05-14
Denise Mina is without peer in her detailed portrayal of the underbelly population of England's cities. Hers are the bluest-of-blue-collared people with whom we avoid eye contact if we notice them at all. And if we do notice, we look quickly away, likely without any curiosity. She uses our stereotypes of the underclass to introduce us to her stories and then smacks us down with brilliant characterizations. Unlike a previous reviewer, I think it is absolutely essential that her settings are British and that she doesn't always provide a regional thesaurus for our ease of comprehension. In fact, there isn't any pandering to the audience in any of Mina's books; she seems to write for herself without a shred of coyness or trickery and if she catches us unawares, it may be because we weren't paying attention.
In "Field of Blood", Mina uses a sensational true murder as her departure point: In 1993, two 10-year-old boys murdered a toddler in Liverpool and the resulting trial was predictably sensational, even by British standards. In her similar story, Mina delves into the background of not only the boys and their families but also the community from which they arose. Our guide is Paddy Nelson, the new copygirl at the Scottish Daily News who has visions of a life as a tough, incisive reporter but a reality that is much drearier, even in its complexity. The story weaves through the official investigation, Paddy's hit-and-miss investigation, and Paddy's fractured personal life. Perhaps this would be a good time to mention that I was initially repulsed but then truly captivated by the slobby, sophomoric girl who grew and matured over the course of the book.
Make no mistake, Denise Mina writes very tough books with mature subject matter and unflinching plotlines and these books aren't for everyone, but they are for me. In fact, she's one of a new breed of lady writers coming out of the British Isles who write big, beautifully plotted, very dark psychological thrillers. That club includes Mo Hayder, Minette Walters, and my favorite (favourite?), Val McDermid, who provided Denise Mina with the detailed workings of a regional newsroom.
Stunning-a real thriller!.......2007-02-06
Absolutely stunning, riveting throughout. I just could not put it down. Ms. Mina is a first class writer of crime drama. The only drawback is it's having been written for a British audience. The characters are incredibly real, the crime horrific, but not garishly told. The story flows from the first page, and has a well thought out excellent ending.
First in the Paddy Meehan series.......2007-01-09
This is a satisfying, well-written, dark and violent example of "tartan noir," beginning with a child's murder (based on the 1993 James Bulger case).
Paddy Meehan is overweight and insecure but deeply ambitious and verbally holds her own with the men at the newspaper where she works as a gofer. Paddy is perfectly willing to lie, break the law-- or shove a rival's head in a toilet-- as a means to a just end, or to jumpstart her career.
Paddy is shunned by her family, ridiculed by the police, rejected sexually by her staid Catholic boyfriend, and inadvertently causes one gruesome death while investigating another. She grows up a bit in the course of the novel; her desire for justice and her natural talent for journalism make her sympathetic in spite of her continual bad judgment.
This is a terrific read but a graphic and dark one.
Great stuff...........2006-11-23
I own a country store and am a serious book junkie. I put all my stuff on the shelves, free for the taking, and encourage others to do the same. I just happened upon this book in this fashion, a dog-eared paperback left by a stranger.
For reference I am a Michael Connoly, Robert Crais, James Lee Burke sort of a person. Denise Mina is right up there with the best of them.
I always feel like apologizing for the time I give up to mysteries...but I have to say that I love the writing, the characters, the insights these authors bring to the table....it is not just plot and action.
Denise Mina writes about Glasgow. Her heroine is an Irish Catholic girl from a working class family....not an upwardly mobile LA male. Her heroine is quiet, self deprecating, subtle...and so is the writing. This was something completely different.....but I loved the characters, the insights, the writing.....Enough to drop everything and go out to Borders and buy the hardback of her new book.
Highly recommended.

Excellent resource for any fantasy gamer........2003-12-16
I love it because not only does it cover mass combat to large or small scales, it covers managing empires and building nations with the players as the rulers. Gotta love the intricate rules that are easy to employ in a campaign and can be made more or less detailed according to my needs.

Earl Murray Author not Jon Land.......2003-10-07
Blood and Bitter Wind was an interesting book, defining the spirit of those who got wealthy off the toil of those seeking a ready made fortune. The problem of orphans due to Gold Fever and the readiness of those spirits who made Los Angeles "The city of Angels" is a pretty parallel to what one might find today in Los Angeles. Always those willing to lend a hand and make a better world for the less fortunate. There was a good discription of Puddingstone, which is in Bonelli Park, right where Raging Waters is in San Dimas.
Unless my book was the only one that had it printed in it...It states that the author died just after completing the book.
Wherever he is I wish him many peaceful and happy trails.

Just love these books..........2005-01-08
Cleve & Adriana's story was wonderful. I've read Luke & Flint & liked them a lot but I think Cleve is my favorite so far. The romance & story line was just awesome. Whenever the whole family is all together I can't seem to wipe my smile off of my face. This is just such an awesome family to follow & I can't wait to see what comes next. Don't miss out on this book.
Cleve's Story.......2003-01-04

A sultry, dark-haired beauty, Adriana Maria Fuente left a Spanish count at the altar. Now she's in Fort Worth searching for an elusive Mexican named Antonio, for a reason she refuses to reveal. And she's willing to put her life on the line to find him.
A GAMBLER DETERMIND...
With his deadly arch-foe back in town, the last thing Cleve MacKenzie needs is a distraction. But when an exquisite enchantress appears at the doorway of his gambling saloon 00 breathless, alone . . . and dressed in a wedding gown -- Cleve knows he is looking at the women of his WILDEST dreams. Yet he doesn't know how long he can keep hot-tempered Adriana safe from danger -- or from his own burgeoning desire. For he has been beguiled by her fire and her passion . . . and by a hunger that sets his heart racing as never before.
I want this as required reading book in my HS English class!.......2000-08-26
I have read this book about 20 times since I first got my copy and I'm telling you that each time I read this book I can't put it down. I had not been able to read the first two books in the series but after I read the book I wanted to go back and read the last to of Flint and Garnet; and of Luke and Honey. And now that I have been able to, I still can't keep the books out of my hands, they are that good. I encourage anybody to read this book because it is that worth while. Happy Reading!
Easy to put down.......2000-07-02
I have read other Ana Leigh books and have enjoyed the characters and humor. This book is okay, yet easy to put down. The female seems like a brat and not realisticly cautious for a lone women in the west with no family. Cleve is sorta average. It does get better later in the book.The book is okay it just took effort to warm up to the characters.
The works of Ana Leigh are truly, Master-pieces........1999-04-01
I've read 5 books of this series, she has me serching the book stores waiting for her next novel. I only wish the series would go on for ever as I will deeply miss these people who have become to mean so much to me.
Book Description
New series. Mars is changing. Seemingly overnight the once "Red" planet is turning to gray. Something is happening, something unnatural. A team of, literally, rocket scientists figure out a way to send a probe, very fast, to Mars to determine how and why it is changing. However, when the probe is destroyed well short of the formerly red planet, it's apparent that Mars is being used as a staging ground. The only viable target for that staging ground is Earth. Ranging from rocket design to brilliant paranoids to "in your face" fighting in Iraq, Von Neumann Wars is a fast paced look at what would happen if the earth was attacked by a robot race that, quite accidentally, was bent on destroying civilization.
Customer Reviews:
JR DID it again.......2007-06-29
Great beach book for dad. A ton of twist and turns, which always find my heart and keep me warm. In this book along with the research coming through I also enjoyed the tongue in cheek humor that came through. If this is your first Ringo book, it might not win you over 100%, as Battle Hym would, it will introduce you to the usual rollercoaster ride a Ringo book will take one on.
Good balance on technology, sci-fi and military material........2007-03-15
Book starts slowly to build background for story (which I believe will be followed by additional books to complete it) for half of the book, and passes to fast paced action which is actually very fun to read, although some might find too thick to swallow.
When moving to the book end it climaxes before ending leaving you wanting to know of how the things will eventually end. Hopefully there will more coming soon.
Slow start on a good read.......2007-02-18
Ok, I like this book. It was a bit slow to start. Think of starting fire with two sticks and it took 120 pages to get fire. Once you sit through the set-up, it's a compelling read that cannot be put down. At a guess, I'd sat John Ringo has been hanging out with a scientist because there is a lot more science in this fiction than is usually the case with his works. I suppose that's the Taylor influence? Anyway, great read and kind of a unique variation on the replicating machine plot. Worth reading. Wait for the soft cover though.
Not Good.......2007-01-04
I've read and enjoyed several books by John Ringo over the years but Von Neumann's War is one that I will discard from my bookshelf immediately.
This book was nearly unreadable to me because of the mishmash of styles between Ringo's hard-boiled MIL-SF and co-author Travis M. Taylor's highly technical and verbose style. What resulted was a story that felt very stiff and academic even as it was trying to be a fast-paced thriller.
Overall, this book focuses far too much on the science and not enough on the fiction as it goes on and on about technical minutia but leaves the reader wanting more in terms of character and plot.
I've found that Ringo is at his best when writing alone or collaborating with David Weber. However, his mixed collaborations with other writers such as Travis M. Taylor, in this case, or Julie Cocherane in the case of Cally's War have turned out some of his worst material.
flat characters and swis cheese like plot.......2006-12-04
The book seems to be an attempt to a high paced plot but where Bolo series succeeded this one failed. The characters are flat, the plot is not very well thought through and the ending ... well it seem to come to abrupt, so abrupt that I was looking for possible missing pages. Overall the ending is very much like any idea in the book, - incomplete

Frederick Buechner's The Alphabet of Grace is a small but lyrical volume of essays that moves through a single day in three chapters. It is no particular day, and yet, as Buechner suggests, each day of life is an invitation to be truly alive. "Live a day of it and see," he writes. "Nobody claims that it will be entirely painless, but no matter. It is your birthday, and there are many presents to open. The world is to open."
This gets us very close to the sweet center of this little book--and of Buechner's work more generally. He makes no claims for himself as special; "most of the times I am indistinguishable from the rest of the herd that jostles and snuffles at the great trough of life." But he also knows how to listen, how to pay attention to the small moments of life where grace in fact breaks through. Two apple branches clack together: this becomes the metaphor for the "clack-clack" of his life, which is also the sign of "the occasional, obscure glimmering through of grace." Sometimes, this book reminds us, God comes not in the whirlwind but in the still small voice of our ordinary moments. --Doug Thorpe
Book Description
With characteristic eloquence and insight, Buechner presents a three-part series of reflections that probe, through the course of one day, the innermost mysteries of life. Blending an artist's eye for natureal beauty, the true meaning of human encounters, and the significance of occurances (momentous or seemly trival), with a wealth of personal, literacy, biblical, and spiritual insights, he offers a matchless opportunity for readers to discover the hidden wisdom that can be gleaned through a heightened experience of daily life.
Customer Reviews:
Even non-Christians will appreciate this work.......2006-05-07
This book celebrates The Divine in the smallest of things: the movement of trees, the space between letters in a word. It transcends theological and dogmatic boundaries and invites us all to rejoice in all that is God.
Asking the questions of life.......2000-06-16
Buechner has a way of bringing the tough questions we all ponder to the surface in this great book. Using a poetic, narrative style, he allows the reader to walk through one day of his life and to enter his brain as he questions the meaning of life and the purpose of our existence. It's not an easy read, and I think Buechner intended it to be this way. If is was too easy, we'd be content to whiz through it and move on with things, just as we often do in our lives...he's teaching us to live a little differently.
A sparkling jewel.......1998-08-22
This is a tough little book--beautiful, but demanding of the reader. Like great poetry, everything about the book, including its structure and multiple levels of meaning, work together to reinforce its theme--which is fundamentally "why are we here?" That's maybe the most basic question each of us faces. This book provides a thoughtful, nuanced response, and holds up a mirror for us to respond ourselves. After a couple of false starts, I got through it and it changed my life. Really.
A very insightful book...poetic!.......1998-04-16
I thought this book was very insightful. Buechner has a way with words that rival many a poet. He crafts his thoughts into images that stirred my heart and challenged my soul. A good read for anyone searching for meaning in this crazy life.

Be careful!.......2007-06-10
My son enjoyed this book and I was surprised at how easily the marker wiped off the pages. Unfortunately, the same marker ruined a pair of khaki dockers and a section of the couch where he was sitting. I can't believe Scholastic would make a product for children that had a Non-washable marker!!! If you buy this product keep the marker far away from any clothing and material, but I suggest not buying it at all!!
