New Fiction on the New York Times Best Sellers List (3/18/07)
by Mazie
I have been a fan of Robert Crais and his Elvis Cole series since Elvis first appeared in The Monkey's Raincoat in 1987. I was disappointed that his latest was featuring Cole's silent sidekick Joe Pike. However, from the moment I picked it up, I could not put The Watchman down, reading late into the night. It debuted at #5 on this week's List.
I am not sure I can go along with Pike's situational ethics but oh what a thrilling adventure this was. At the end of the day, Joe Pike made the smart-alecky Elvis seem lightweight and definitely not your first choice in a life or death situation.
Other new titles are Shopaholic & Baby by Sophie Kinsella (aka Madeleine Wickham), The Taste of Innocence by romance author Stephanie Laurens, and Innocent Traitor by best-selling Tudor historian, Alison Weir.
