Must Love Dragons: Stephanie Rowe

This saucy little romp is the perfect beach book for dracophiles. Less corse and more fun than the Anita Blake stuff, it features a Satan that you practically root for, a dragon you would die for and a hero that every woman can relate to. I read this after David, and enjoyed being able to quote and quasi-quote from it ("thus again proving that *I* am Satan). Just overall fun.

Chain of Evidence: Ridley Pearson

Another fun ride by Pearson, this one has nice notes of mentorship and our own fallibility to go along with a good old who-done-it let's-catch-em.

The Pied Piper: Ridley Pearson

I just finished this and have to confess that I had never heard of Pearson before. I'm pleased to report that the writing is as engaging as the crime and the sleuthing. Look for more by this author. It's a great summer book.
