Catherine, Circulation Supervisor (Main)–
This well-crafted novel (The Eight by Katherine Neville) has a huge, delicious plot that anyone could sink into. Subjects such as: champion chess, music, painting, family skeletons, romance (just a touch), and much more, keep you guessing even if the reader doesn’t ordinarily have any interest in such things. The protagonist, Catherine Velis, journeys over the globe to chase a mystery of the ‘The Monteglane Service’. This is a legendary chess set that is a literal treasure as well as holding clues to arcane knowledge that the powerful covet. The tale is so well written, one hardly notices any difficulty with the over 60 characters or that this novel takes place in the 1790’s as well as the 1970’s. Because it was so seamlessly written, I had to check the history books to discern the author’s prerogative alter historical facts vs. true history.

I am currently reading Come Home by Lisa Scottoline, this fast paced novel will literally make your head spin, as the reader you feel as if your caught up in the problem yourself looking for answers trying to come up with a solution to the problem at hand, but just when you think your coming to the resolution another boomerang comes and knocks you off your feet yet once again. With this book the plot keeps churning and their is never a dull moment. A complete page turner.
