Necessity

Rating:
Summary: Incomparable
Review: For the past five years I have been so deeply involved in research that reading novels for pleasure has gone by the board -- except for long flights, when I bought books on the current bestseller list (usually through amazon.com) to pass the time away. Except for Elizabeth George, and Tony Hillerman, I was always disappointed. Paperbacks inevitably were left behind in airports and airplane. Now, I am enjoying a break, so went back to an old favorite, Brian Garfield. I had not read Necessity before. I was enthralled from page one to the extremely satisfying ending. The heroine is gutsy, resourceful, desperate, and does not have to be constantly rescued by men. Even the villain is plausible. When I rated this, amazon suggested four other authors based on my choice. Two were Grisham and James Patterson. Oddly enough, I brought books by both authors home from the library at the same time. Mere fodder for airport trash bins. Read Garfield instead.
