2nd Chance by James Patterson

2nd Chance by James Patterson

Synopsis A brutal madman sprays bullets into a crowd of children leaving a San Francisco church. Miraculously-or was it intentionally?-only one person dies. Then an elderly black woman is hung. Police homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer senses a connection and together with medical examiner Claire, assistant D. A. Jill, and Chronicle reporter Cindy, finds a link that sends a chill through the entire nation. This killer's motives are unspeakable.

Thoughts The book snob in me would have never thought of reading something by James Patterson but then I read two of his books last year and enjoyed both of them immensely. One of them was part of the Women's Murder Club series. It's of course another crazy killer and impossible case but with Lt. Lindesy Boxer as the main protagonist partnered with three other fiercely strong, independent and brilliant women it makes it a great girl power kinda read which is a huge plus. Also you don't expect to be getting all teary eyed while ready about grisly murders but this one had been welling up on the second page and then again 3/4th in. I'm definitely going to continue reading the other books in this series.

Patterson was one of my late sister's favorite authors, but I've never gotten around to any of his novels. I should someday because they always sound so good.

Wow this is dark. But in these times it is not surprising. I have not read anything by him, right now I am reading a book on the French Revolution.

I know what you mean -- I often find myself avoiding the most popular/published authors because of all the hype, but sometimes they're SO worth it! Sounds like a great read that I'll have to check out.

I've only read one book by James Patterson and he really does know how to craft those compelling page turners. This one sounds dark but riveting.

Hmmm...sounds like a dark read here. Books like this have a terrible effect on me so I tend to stay away from em.

Oh, I need to continue this series! This is just about the only one (and maybe Rowling's Cormoran series) mystery series that keeps my attention. I haven't been impressed by any other modern mysteries.

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in t...

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making ...
