PhotobucketCongratulations to Susan of Oregon - enjoy the book!

Last week I posted my first-ever podcast. It was an interview with bestselling author Iris Johansen and her son, award-winning author Roy Johansen. They wrote a great thriller novel called Silent Thunder that promises to be a best seller. If you love books that beg to be movies, you’ll love Silent Thunder. It’s all that a thriller-lover wants in a fun summer read, so I’m happy to be able to offer one copy to a carp(e) libris reviews reader!

  3. 3Nancy

    My very favorite genre to read is mysteries. From the Nancy Drew and Cherry Ames books I read as a child to Laura Childs, Sue Grafton, Patricia Sprinkle and Sara Paretsky (and so very many others) that I read today! I love it that mysteries “keep me guessing”! I am currently reading various David Baldacci books from the thriller
    category.

    I love the Johansen’s books and I love mysteries. I want to read this soooooooo bad. I have been laid off my job and I am climbing the walls with boredom when I don’t have an interview. If I could get into this wonderful book I wouldn’t be climbing the walls. I would be engaged.
