A. Jance: Jance is always a good mystery read whether you take to the beach or cozy up with a blanket and fire. Cruel Intent was a bit different from her other mysteries, however, I still enjoyed it. Duma Key by Stephen King: Very suspenseful! A great read! Gunslinger by Stephen King: Great start to the series! Looking forward to reading the rest of them. 2:52:12 PM
