The Walking Wind by Tony Hillerman

Audio book read by  George Guidall 

2002, 6 CDs 

Not as good as previous books by Miller, but still quite decent.

My rating: 3/5

From the back cover:
“Stuck between rock hard and a hard place.

“He was built like a tank, and he was undercover in Kansas City’s seediest district. Waist-deep in the trouble that came along with the Vice Squad, Seth Cartwright had unwanted company.

Tara is a reporter, Alec is a cop.  She has decided to investigate a cold case – the disappearance of a society wife on her wedding day.  The case is full of twists and turns and is very intriguing, I guessed parts of its, but other parts totally threw me.  The chemistry between Alec and Tara is good, the ending seemed well-written and very situational.  I will definitely be reading another story by Ms. Burton.

Score: 4.5

Cavanaugh Justice Series

This book is the latest in the Cavanaugh Justice Series.. according to the author notes, it is due to the many requests from her fans... so to her fans everywhere, THANKS!  It was an AWESOME book... and maybe there are now a few more in the wings based on the ending...

Finally, a book I can love!  The past few books I've read have not been what I'm used to.  Since I ordered this one in that same shipment, well, I wasn't expecting much.  When DH came in from work last night at 11 PM he came in, looked at me, said, "I guess this one is better than the last few?"

I didn't know I was so transparent!!!

Juliet Astor Lowell comes from a "good family" and her grandmother who raised her has kept her smothered for years, so she's excited when she gets the chance to preside over the opening of a hotel in the company chain (she works for her absent father) in New Orleans away from the family influence (they're from Boston) - or so she thought.

Talk about an eye opener! You might as well say that after awhile, I just kept my glasses off because I was tired of clearing the fog off them!

Let me say that I don't read anything with a heat level higher than - yummy. So why did I read this Extreme Blaze? Well, because I won it during last fall's open house. Hope Tarr sent me an autographed copy as well as an awesome Christmas gift and I thought the least I could do was write a book review about it. I mean honestly, it's amazing what a girl will do for the sake of Literacy!

Series: Cavanaugh Justice

They were devoted partners—until a bullet separated them. Now Lila McIntyre worked a desk job and Brian Cavanaugh was chief of detectives. Suddenly, they were worlds apart. And yet, when she started getting disturbing phone calls in the middle of the night, newly widowed Lila
turned to Brian for help.

Third in the Line of Duty series (after Sure Bet #1263 and Hidden Agenda #1269). I enjoyed this one. The characters were well-developed and believable, and the plot carefully constructed. The only thing that kept this one from being an all out 4/5 was that the ending seemed rushed…but overall, this was a really good read. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for the other books in this series.
