looking for a new book to read!

Since you like thrillers, two series you might want to check out are Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware series, and James Patterson's Alex Cross series. Kellerman is an actual psychologist, and his books detail the adventures of child psychologist/detective Alex Delaware. Since he has a background in psych, these make for very good psychological thrillers. James Patterson's books are good too, and two of them have been made into movies- Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. Hope that helps some.

I just read The Chosen One by kathleen McGowan. It was really good! It kinda has a Da Vinci Code feel, but Mary Magdalene is the main focus and some really interesting storylines, some of which you can actually research. Or Duma Key by Stephen King was good too!

Hi, a Sherlock Holmes fan eh? That's nice - I enjoy his collections! I've completed a book by Jeffery Deaver last month, called The Empty Chair. The main character is a quadriplegic detective, confined to a wheelchair. His powers of reasoning and deduction is superlative; he works from clues & evidence collected by his assistant. He's a bit like a modern Sherlock Holmes. The story involves finding a boy, suspected of kidnapping two girls - the detectives have to find them before the girls die. If you enjoy forensics and crime investigation, this will be fun!
