RAIN GODS, by James Lee Burke 2. THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER, by Nelson De Mille 3.

About the only things we object to at NNH are rudeness, hawking your wares or starting a dating service. (Those may not be mutually exclusive.)

This is a pretty good idea, Kate, do you mind if I borrow it and make a decennial list of my own?

Must put mine together soon. I am also thinking of doing a best of decade since the group's been at Yahoo working on 10 Sat, 02 Jan 2010 09:55:17 GMT Brian K http://groups.yahoo.com/group/notnecessarilyhardboiled/message/10067 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/notnecessarilyhardboiled/message/10067 A fireworks video to welcome in the New Year.

Bosch carries on as before, one of the best series in HB vein.

RAIN GODS is his best. As usual, JLB considers redemption and those who seek out or accept salvation along Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:40:46 GMT katedirect http://groups.yahoo.com/group/notnecessarilyhardboiled/message/10060 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/notnecessarilyhardboiled/message/10060 I've taped the latest film in the series but have yet to watch.
