Book Description
The New York Times-bestselling author of Falling Awake and All Night Long takes her fans beyond the everyday boundaries of the mind-and the heart-in a compulsively readable new novel of paranormal power, deception, and danger . . .
Petite, thirtysomething Clare Lancaster is a Level Ten para-sensitive-and a "human lie detector." Over the years, she's come to accept that someone with her extraordinary talents is likely to have trouble in the relationship department. And she's even resigned herself to the fact that everyone, to one degree or another, hides behind a façade. . . .
And now it seems that meeting the half sister and family whom she never knew until seven months ago was a mistake. Her father summons her from California to play a role in his business empire, and Clare doesn't intend on making the same mistake twice. But after meeting Jake Salter, Archer Lancaster's "financial consultant," Clare is convinced that things aren't what they seem. Salter's careful conversation seems to walk a delicate line between truth and deception, revealing and resisting. Something sparks and sizzles between them-something more than the usual electricity between a man and a woman.
Caught in a dizzying storm of secrets, lies, and half-truths, Jake and Clare will plunge into an investigation that demands every bit of their special gifts-together they must overcome their mutual distrust in order to unravel a web of conspiracy and murder.

IT'S A SIN TO TELL A LIE.......2007-06-08
After reading "The River Knows" I decided to read White Lies by JAK. Since it was the same author, I thought I would like it just as well. It was an interesting read. Liked the main characters and learned a little about the paranormal abilities.
It was a fast read and amusing at times. Not a very heavy read and the romance was a little tepid. Not bad for an afternoon's entertainment.
I liked "White Lies" by Linda Howard better. Try that one.
Pretty interesting story line.......2007-05-14
This review is for the audio CD version:
This is the first novel I have read from this author, or about the arcane society. I found it interesting and liked how the events and clues to the mystery unfolded bit by bit. I also thought the chemistry was very good between the male and female main character. After listening to this story I don't have a strong desire to listen/read the rest of the arcane society books or find out what comes next.
Now, as far as the actual narration.... It was horrible. I listen to many books on CD and this had by far the worst narration. It was almost like a joke. The acting was very fake, really to the point of being totally over done. Sometimes just the way it was read made the story hard to follow because of the way it was said, or the speed of words, etc. The narration of this story definately took away from enjoyment of it, and almost made me stop listening to it.
Great Read.......2007-04-14
JAK takes the paranormal Arcane Society into the present-day (originally set in 19th century England with the Amanda Quick series), and the results are quite intriguing. It is most interesting to see that her paranormals must operate under the radar in the present world equally as much as they did in the past, with the resultant contretemps between the protagonists. Both the plotting and character development are excellent, and I am delighted to see this turn in JAK's writing. Keep them coming, please!
If you love her Jayne Castle books, you'll enjoy this!!.......2007-04-14
While I enjoy the Amanda Quick books and have read (so far) one of the Arcane Society novels, I enjoy Jayne Castle and Jayne Ann Krentz futuristic and contemporary mysteries even more. This book as one reviewer has already said is a blend of both and for me, a very entertaining and delightful blend!
The Prologue occurs some eight months before the start of the book. Clare Lancaster and her half sister, Elizabeth Glazebrook, are meeting for the first time in a bookstore cafe in Phoenix, Arizona. Clare and Elizabeth have been emailing each other and now Elizabeth has asked for Clare's help. Clare and Elizabeth are both "sensitives" and registered with the Arcane Society. Clare is a level-ten "lie detector" while Elizabeth is much lower level sensitive with her speciality being colors. Elizabeth is married to Brad McAllister who has sent her to a psychiatrist. Brad has told her and her family that Elizabeth is having a nervous breakdown. Elizabeth is afraid something else is going on and that Brad is having an affair and trying to kill her!!
Eight months later, Jake Salter is on the veranda at the Glazebrook home in Stone Canyon, Arizona watching Clare arrive in her small rental car. He can tell she is a sensitive and when Clare meets Jake and he introduces himself, she also can tell he is a high level sensitive - a hunter - and that while he claims to be a business consultant to Archer Glazebrook, Clare's biological father, Clare knows he is not telling the full truth. The reader also learns that 6 months previous, Brad McAllister was found dead and was found by Clare who was temporarily a suspect in his death which is unresolved. Clare is viciously verbally attacked at the party by Valerie McAllister Shipley, Brad's mother now married to Archer's former business partner, Owen Shipley. Valerie even goes out and smashes Clare's rental car's windshield.
As Clare and Jake begin to very, very cautiously work together to find the real killer of Brad McAllister, Clare has more close calls and the mystery deepens as many plot motives from relationships to money to corporations to Arcane Society business appear.
I loved how the mysteries are resolved, the items left unsolved for future books (?) and Ms. Krentz's wonderful sense of humor and romance!
A definite "can't put it down until I'm finished" read for me.
Barely able to keep my attention.......2007-04-05
I'm listening to this audio book. I have not read a lot of JAK, but I have to say that her dialog/narrative is really uninteresting and routine. The number of times she takes time to describe "cracking eggs in the nonstick pan" or "she took a sip of her cold green tea", etc. So boring! Instead, maybe she should spend more time describing the internal struggles/emotions of the characters. That would make for much better writing. So far, no passion in these characters... (despite a sex scene)... just generic storytelling. There is no snappy dialog or humor, either. I'll continue to listen only because I am interested in finding out the murderer. Otherwise, BORING!

"Long before it legally served me, the bar saved me," asserts J.R. Moehringer, and his compelling memoir The Tender Bar is the story of how and why. A Pulitzer-Prize winning writer for the Los Angeles Times, Moehringer grew up fatherless in pub-heavy Manhasset, New York, in a ramshackle house crammed with cousins and ruled by an eccentric, unkind grandfather. Desperate for a paternal figure, he turns first to his father, a DJ whom he can only access via the radio (Moehringer calls him The Voice and pictures him as "talking smoke"). When The Voice suddenly disappears from the airwaves, Moehringer turns to his hairless Uncle Charlie, and subsequently, Uncle Charlie's place of employment--a bar called Dickens that soon takes center stage. While Moehringer may occasionally resort to an overwrought metaphor (the footsteps of his family sound like "storm troopers on stilts"), his writing moves at a quick clip and his tale of a dysfunctional but tightly knit community is warmly told. "While I fear that we're drawn to what abandons us, and to what seems most likely to abandon us, in the end I believe we're defined by what embraces us," Moehringer says, and his story makes us believe it. --Brangien Davis
Book Description
The bestselling memoir that captured the hearts of readers and critics nationwide is now available in paperback
In the tradition of This Boy's Life and The Liar's Club, J.R. Moehringer's The Tender Bar is a raucous, poignant, luminously written memoir about a boy striving to become a man, and his romance with a bar. A national bestseller that was named one of the 100 Most Notable Books of 2005 by the New York Times, The Tender Bar will reach an even larger audience in paperback.
Customer Reviews:
"the Tender Bar".......2007-10-02
This book is just so "touching", which is a weak word to use for such a great book! Being a mother, my heart just aches for this dear young boy,then man, as he goes through life. Am sure his Mom is so proud of him! Definitely recommend...RM
3 1/2 stars really.......2007-09-08
Interesting life
Great writing style although the attempts at humor & the similes/metaphors were ever so slightly overdone in my opinion
Filthy language through major sections:(
Unusual Story.......2007-08-30
I'm not sure if I enjoyed the story or writing more. The story is disjointed like the life of the narrator, but the pages flow nicely and I'm very happy I read it.
A Wonderful Memoir of an Evolving Life.......2007-08-26
Moehringer uses the story of a bar as the setting for his own story, growing up on the fringes of respectable working class life and achieving a certain degree of success. The bar is where the fatherless Moehringer learns to be a man, surrounded by a collection of significantly flawed characters drawn from Manhasset's odd mix of upper and lower economic class. Unlike many tales of surmounting economic and social hurdles, Moehringer manages to keep himself and his achievements in the background. He focuses on the struggles and screw-ups and nicely captures the conflicts of class, peer group, and community that accompany many people's upward climb. In places like the blue collar side of Manhasset, upward mobility is something that is both encouraged and a source of threat. Moehringer had sense enough to recognize this and to recognize when his triumphs were a wedge and how the bar and its regulars could be an impediment to growing up and moving on. It's apparent that Moehringer's life is still one with missing pieces and struggles to come.
This appears to be one of the few Niman scholar books that doesn't run out of gas before the end.
INSIPID.......2007-08-26
This is such a disappointing memoir! Most of the book is an account of this young Ivy Leaguer's pathetic on-again, off-again, puppy love tryst with his college age heart throb and his "struggles" to get passing grades. Such insipid writing is not worthy of note. Are we supposed to cry over this? I had enough but I kept waiting for more. I kept reading to the end hoping that some depth might develop. Unfortunately the book retained its shallow treatment page after page. Bring on the violins.
Book Description
Gripping accounts of all known fatal mishaps in the most famous of the World's Seven Natural Wonders.
Two veterans of decades of adventuring in Grand Canyon chronicle the first complete and comprehensive history of Canyon misadventures. These episodes span the entire era of visitation from the time of the first river exploration by John Wesley Powell and his crew of 1869 to that of tourists falling off its rims in Y2K.
These accounts of the 550 people who have met untimely deaths in the Canyon set a new high water mark for offering the most astounding array of adventures, misadventures, and life saving lessons published between any two covers. Over the Edge promises to be the most intense yet informative book on Grand Canyon ever written.

A Fascinating Study of Human Behavior.......2007-09-17
While the topic of this book might seem morbid, it really is a fascinating and instructive set of essays on human behavior. Well-researched and engaging, this revised and updated edition recounts stories of what most often amount to tragic tales of sheer human stupidity.
What really resonates most strongly is the authors' desire to communicate that the Grand Canyon is not some man-made, man-controlled theme park, but instead a heartbreakingly beautiful and very dangerous natural phenomenon, to be treated with reverence and caution.
The final chapter on murder reads like a historical thriller, unearthing mysteries that have been embedded in the canyon for over a hundred years. But the authors never rely on sensationalism. Instead, they share eyewitness accounts and solid research that reveal many secrets of the canyon, only to show that there are many more buried below.
Can't put it down.......2007-08-24
When I was at the Grand Canyon a year ago I saw this book in a gift shop, at the hotel. I thought, "Na...too morbid". I am now planning on hiking down with a friend later next year and I got this book along with several "how to" guides for hiking in the GC. Both authors are experienced witnesses of the many accounts that are cited. I am not finished with the book yet but Ghiglieri works at a local medical clinic and has seen many emergencies, while Myers is an experienced boatman and river guide. A great read and essential for trip knowledge before you set out on your next hike!
Grand Graveyard!.......2007-08-20
Despite the title, "Death in Grand Canyon", this book by Ghiglieri and Myers is neither gory nor macabre. It is a fascinating account of the truly idiotic, careless, unprepared, and misguided (figuratively and literally) people who over the past hundred years or so have met their maker in the Grand Canyon by various means including:
falling, jumping, hiking, swimming, boating and flying over and in the Grand Canyon.
Their are some truly interesting stories of survival mixed in with the hundreds of deaths documented over the years. It is enjoyable, easy reading.
Kudos to the National Park Service rangers who have to put their lives on the line to try to rescue the unfortunate victims and to Ghiglieri and Myers for a great book.
Interesting, but got old.......2007-08-04
I stopped reading it about half way through as I just thought the stories of death were poorly organized, and the writing didn't seem to flow well for me, I started to find it boring. However, I did find it interesting to see how people died and found that by far and away it was people who weren't respecting the danger of the canyon. I took that to heart when I hiked to the bottom of the canyon about a year after reading the book. BTW: hiking the canyon was one of the greatest experiences of my life! And I didn't die.
Warning.......2007-07-26
We have a trip planned to hike into the canyon. I wanted everyone to be aware of the dangers and I think this book does a good job of presenting those dangers. I'll write more later...if we make it out!
Book Description
In a compelling fiction debut, Nancy E. Turner's unforgettable These Is My Words melds the sweeping adventures and dramatic landscapes of Lonesome Dove with the heartfelt emotional saga of Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All.
Inspired by the author's original family memoirs, this absorbing story introduces us to the questing, indomitable Sarah Prine, one of the most memorable women ever to survive and prevail in the Arizona Territory of the late 1800s. As a child, a fiery young woman, and finally a caring mother, Sarah forges a life as full and as fascinating as our deepest needs, our most secret hopes and our grandest dreams. She rides Indian-style and shoots with deadly aim, greedily devours a treasure trove of leatherbound books, downs fire, flood, Comanche raids and other mortal perils with the unique courage that forged the character of the American West.
Rich in authentic details of daily life and etched with striking character portraits of very different pioneer families, this action-packed novel is also the story of a powerful, enduring love between Sarah and the dashing cavalry officer Captain Jack Elliot. Neither the vast distances traveled nor the harsh and killing terrains could quench the passion between them, and the loss and loneliness both suffer only strengthen their need for each other.
While their love grows, the heartbreak and wonder of the frontier experience unfold in scene after scene: a wagon-train Sunday spent roasting quail on spits as Indians close in to attack; Sarah's silent encounter with an Indian brave, in which he shows her his way of respect; a dreadful discovery by a stream that changes Sarah forever; the hazards of a visit to Phoenix, a town as hot as the devil's frying pan; Sarah's joy in building a real home, sketching out rooms and wraparound porches.
Sarah's incredible story leads us into a vanished world that comes vividly to life again, while her struggles with work and home, love and responsibility resonate with those every woman faces today. These Is My Words is a passionate celebration of a remarkable life, exhilarating and gripping from the first page to the last.

These is My Words.......2007-09-30
Book was just what I expected. One of the best books I've ever read. It's right up there with Jane Eyre.
Great western romance/historical ficiton.......2007-09-28
This is a great book about a headstrong young woman settling in the Southwestern US in the 1880's. I almost put it down after the first 50 pages because it was filled with so much sadness, death, and depression. It is admittedly hard to get into the book at first, because it is all the writings of her diary. That is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I am so glad I finished it though, because her romance with Captain Elliot is one of the sweetest I have read. This a wonderful book about overcoming obstacles, and the power of love.
Historical fiction at its best.......2007-09-17
This book was selected within the book club that I belong. To be honest, I wasn't that excited about it, as historical fiction isn't usually my favorite, but this book was truly a pleasant surprise. I was riveted to it from the moment I picked it up. I remember glancing down at the page number and realizing that so much had happened in just the first 26 pages alone---I knew I was in for a good ride. Not only was it a window into another time, a beautiful love story was interwoven throughout and showed how much of what defines us as women is timeless through the generations. A must-read for women. A great selection for book club discussions.
I absolutely adored this book!.......2007-09-09
I read this novel nonstop, at home, on the bus to work, and while I was at working, sneaking off to read it and on the bus again and back home. When I was finished, I started it all over from the beginning. It is simply and beautifully written, and it made me care about every character, especially Sarah. I loved her strength, innocence and sincerity. I would recommend this book to anyone, young and old alike. I absolutely adored it.
Engaging book.......2007-08-14
This engrossing book portayed a strong and independent woman in the early settlement days of the Arizona Territory from her teenage years to maturity. The reader gets a perspective on the history of the region as well as a good story. It was very believable and interesting.

A great reference.......2007-08-18
This was the first book of the "Southwest" series that I have read. I purchased the book to prepare for a trip I was taking to Arizona. I found the book to be an excellent reference for someone that isn't familiar with all of the wonderful landscape locations available in the Grand Canyon state. The only thing that would make the book better would be greater details in the "getting there" sections. Some local maps and maybe GPS headings would also be a great addition. Some of the best spots are very difficult to find and these additions would really help out. Overall, I am very pleased that I bought this book and kept it by my side throughout my journey. I highly recommend it.
Good Improvement.......2007-06-13
In the first edition of this book I found Mr. Martres' directions to be hard to follow and, in some cases, in error. This edition has greatly improved them.
Highly recommended.......2007-06-09
I bought all three books from the series Photographing the Southwest by author Laurent Martres. I'm preparing for 2 weeks trip to USA next year. I found these books very useful. All provide very valuable information about the best time and conditions for all the people having passion for taking fotographs at most famous places all over Southwest. Simply must have.

Pleasant Surprise.......2007-06-18
I read one of Ms. Miller's McKettrick books last year and found it ok. I picked up "The Man from Stone Creek" a couple of weeks ago, in the need for a good book on a long weekend (and I love historical Western romances) but couldn't find anything in the bookstore that really caught my eye. This book is a definite winner. The build up to the main conflict and the character development are great, including the conflict that builds between the main characters. I can't wait to read the sequel to this one!!
LLM is one of the best around!.......2007-05-23
I'm never dissapointed when Linda Lael Miller's name is on the cover. Excellent book!
The Man From Snowy River.......2006-11-25
I am a recent fan of Linda Lael Miller and I really enjoy her books because she has a way with making her characters alive and interesting. The Man From Snowy River is about an under cover G-Man who is poseing as a school teacher of all things and the female lead is a shop owner with a young brother to support and of course they clash over the brother who the teacher feels is spoiled by his sister, you then have the bad guys who the G-man is out to get, i will not get into the nitty gritty of the story as it would spoil it for the readers but in a nutshell, it is a great story, the characters are well done and it will leave you with a smile on your face.
ROMANCE AND SKULLDUGGERY WITH A WESTERN FLAVOR.......2006-08-29
With an impressive number of audio book titles to his credit stage actor Buck Schirner has established himself as a first rate narrator. His reading of the story of Ranger Sam O'Ballivan is arresting (no pun intended) and vital as he effectively captures Sam's first impression of Haven, Arizona, as well his gradually growing attraction to postmistress Maddie Chancelor.
Sam arrives in the border town of Haven in search of a rough gang of thieves who have been wrecking havoc throughout the surrounding territory. He comes disguised as a school teacher whose first order of business is to straighten out the ranchers' undisciplined children who have been creating a little havoc of their own. One of the most unruly young ones is Terran, Maddie's younger brother.
The self-sufficient Ranger is in for a surprise when he meets Maddie, a very pretty and proper young woman who has a temper and toughness all her own. She doesn't take kindly to his comments about her brother, yet finds the newcomer strangely appealing.
Before long Sam becomes aware of a planned train robbery and pulls out all the stops to capture the brigands before they make off with a load of Mexican gold. The surprise is in who the robbers turn out to be.
For those who like romance and skullduggery served with a Western flavor, this one's for you!
- Gail Cooke
Beautifully told story.......2006-07-27
I've read many books by this author. The last two books have been my favorites. The Man From Stone Creek is a western story that's beautifully told. You can picture the Arizona setting. Maddie is strong and vulnerable at the same time. Sam is everything you want in a hero. He's tender and caring, but he's all man. I could not put the book down. Very much worth the hardcover price, excellent read.

Completely Satisfied.......2007-08-16
The book was in excellent condition as advertised, and it got here quicker than I expected!
Excellent Guide! Glad I got this one.......2007-06-24
I didn't buy this online. I visited the local bookstore and took every book on Arizona off the shelf and looked at them all and chose this book because it had what I considered the best overall layout and approach. It turned out to be an **excellent** guide for our week-long Arizona trip. The book provides just enough information on each area as well as suggested drives and activities. I found it to be extremely helpful. Unlike other guidebooks, this one has a personality shining through. There's a person behind the information---you'll find language like 'this is my favorite..." or "...is why I like this ..." Some of the descriptive passages are very well-written. The information was timely and helpful, too. We constantly referred to it and felt very good about our choice of guidebooks. It was so helpful, I made a mental note to go back and write this review...

Atlas and Gazetteer.......2007-05-08
Great Product! Nearly as good as having a seperate map for every county in the whole state.
I like it best because I can read the text much easier than a state map, especially in low light. My bifocals are OK for reading but not the fine details of most maps.
Extremely useful on those family roadtrips.......2007-04-04
I have nothing but praise for DeLorme. We have purchased and used 5 states now (Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Colorado, and Arizona), and each has enabled us to really enjoy some spontaneous vacations. I plan to buy one for each state I visit.
Arizona Atlas & Gazetteer.......2007-02-16
This is a must have for finding the tucked away backroads of Arizona....
Great Arizona Topo map.......2006-03-20
We needed to locate some undeveloped property in the Show Low Pines area. This map and the internet were great in assisting us. We use our Colorado and Wyoming ones all the time. They are a great resource for people who like to do beyond the end of the road!
GREAT map for exploring Arizona.......2004-11-01
I used this map when exploring Arizona on two separate occasions. Delorme makes these maps for nearly all states in the US. If you're ever going to explore a state - USE THIS MAP by Delorme. It's well organized, provides information on parks, unique spots like waterfalls, historical sites, etc. You can also find obscure roads not normally seen on tourist maps. I bought the Delorme maps for Colorado, New York, and Virginia as well.

A quick and easy to follow introduction to everything Sedona. The quality of Sedona guidebooks is poor in general. This one stands out. Well worth the money.
Sedona Book Review.......2006-04-03
Fine job, a comprehensive run down of the area highlights. The author did not make it clear that a Golden Eagle National Parks Pass can be used in place of a Red Rocks Pass. I unnecessarily purchased both.
Nice overview.......2005-09-26
On our recent trip to Sedona, we referred to the book and found the directions to be good. Not sure that the top recommendations would have been our picks.

Search-and-rescue worker Sarah Patrick and Monty, her talented golden retriever, take center stage in this deft, suspenseful outing. The immensely appealing heroine was introduced as a secondary character in Iris Johansen's previous thriller The Killing Game. Back, too, is John Logan from Face of Deception, the charismatic billionaire whose very personal vendetta against a stop-at-nothing killer pulls Sarah into a high-stakes game of search and destroy.
When Logan's top-secret research station in South America is attacked and his chief scientist kidnapped, Sarah and Monty manage to track the hostage through the jungle and save his life. But that's only the beginning in what turns out to be a series of sadistic and deadly attempts to destroy Logan. Despite Sarah's initial distrust, she comes to respect and ultimately love Logan--which makes her and Monty targets for the killer's vengeance, too. The action moves swiftly across the globe, from the American Southwest to Colombia to Taiwan, and finally to North Dakota, in a tense, dramatic denouement. Johansen manages to explicate her characters' back-stories and illuminate their motivation as she moves the action forward with skillful pacing. Fans of the author's previous suspense thrillers featuring forensic sculptor Eve Duncan won't be disappointed that she plays only a bit part in Johansen's newest; Sarah and Monty are worth a series of their own, and The Search is a terrific beginning. --Jane Adams
Book Description
He strikes without warning....he kills without mercy....he's only just begun....
Iris Johansen, the New York Times bestselling author of
The Killing Game and
The Face of Deception, delivers a gripping new novel of breathtaking suspense and explosive adventure. It is the story of a courageous woman who is coerced into tracking down a ruthless killer--but as she hunts out her prey with stunning accuracy, she becomes the object of his wrath....
As part of an elite K-9 search and rescue team, Sarah Patrick and her golden retriever, Monty, have a gift for finding what no one else can--whether it's a survivor buried alive by an earthquake or the skeleton of a murdered child. But their latest assignment is not like the others. This time Sarah is being forced to take part in a deadly mission...by a man who knows enough about her past to ensure her cooperation. A man who won't take no for an answer. John Logan is used to getting what he wants, and what he wants now is Sarah's help. His top-secret venture has been sabotaged, its facilities destroyed, and its handpicked staff massacred. The sole survivor is being held for ransom. Logan knows that the only way to save the man--and the secrets he holds--is to find him as soon as possible.
Smart, tough, and uncompromising, Sarah is furious when she is strong-armed into joining Logan on his search. And once she takes the perilous assignment, she realizes that Logan's promises that she and Monty will be safe may not be enough to protect them. Because a killer is devising a sadistic vengeance...and he may soon find use for Sarah. Racing against time to stop the bloodshed before more victims are claimed, both Sarah and Logan will look straight into the heart of true evil. And when the killer's search for revenge finally ends, no one will ever be the same again....
Customer Reviews:
WONDERFUL!.......2007-04-13
Loved this book and love the character of Sarah. The relationship between dog and owner is amazing while they go on this search. Great book and great author!
Must love dogs and cheesy romance.......2007-03-28
Do you like romance novels? Do you call your dogs your babies? This is the book for you. The thriller aspect of this book is far overshadowed by the romance portion, and the annoyingly repetitious mentioning of the dog could possibly drive most readers over the edge. This was my first Johansen novel, and it most certainly will be my last. Two stars for actually wrapping up the story without leaving too many loose ends.
