Memory Man is the first book in a new series by David Baldacci, featuring new private detective Amos Decker. A devastating injury and near-death experience on the football field during his debut NHL game rewires his brain, giving him autistic-like thought patterns, including hyperthymesia, synesthesia, issues with social behaviors, etc.

My teaser today is from the master of legal thrillers, John Grisham, The Whistler. Actually, I just finished another Grisham as well, The Rooster Bar, a Christmas gift from my hubby. The Rooster Bar is more of a comedic piece, but The Whistler is nice and deep.

I seem to be on a thrillers kick lately. At the moment, I am reading Clive Cussler’s The Pharaoh’s Secret, from the NUMA Files. If you enjoy Egyptian mythology, Napoleonic history, and things blowing up, you’ll definitely enjoy this one.

I have been reading a couple more of the Flavia de Luce books by Alan Bradley. Right now, I am reading The Weed that Strings the Hangman’s Bag. Since I’ve ended up reading the few that I have in reverse chronological order, it’s been very interesting to see how much some of the characters have changed since the beginning! Flavia’s family and the villagers have really softened in the later books.

I am reading Guilt by Jonathan Kellerman. I think this is my second Kellerman book, and I am enjoying the twists and turns as they close in on the killer and what really happened.

I don’t read a lot of memoirs, but this is one that caught my eye. Jeffrey Archer is a bestselling fiction author, but he has also published nonfiction accounts of the time he spent in prison for a perjury conviction. Interesting reading if you want to hear some of the details of life behind bars. I just recently started the first book, A Prison Diary, and so far it is very interesting reading.

My new book today is Blue Labyrinth, a Pendergast mystery by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I haven’t read any other books in this series, but it has some great, eclectic characters and I have been enjoying it. If you like Sherlock Holmes and Ellery Queen, I think you’ll like this one.
