I'm currently reading Linda Fairstein's latest, "Death Dance". Fairstein was the chief sex crimes prosecutor for the Manhattan DA's office and her protagonist, Alexandra Cooper, holds the same job. I've read these from the beginning and won't miss one.

All That Remains by Patricia Cornwell
As much as I love Auel there are a few things she does that can easily start to annoy you. Time passes SO slowly. In Vally Of Horses you are waiting forever and ever for Ayla and Jondular to meet and it will take forever. In subsequent books there is a lot of stupid quarels that are huge misunderstandings (Mammoth Hunters). In Plains Of Passage its hard to get through because they travel the whole book and you desparetly want them to get home. I won't say exactly what happens in Shelters of Stone as I don'twant to spoil anything but again you are waiting for something to happen for the entire book. So...its a love/hate relationship with that series. I love it so much for the overall story...but she loves details and she loves arguments and she loves tantalizing the reader by making things take forever . Ooooh and she LOVES cliffhangers! Of all her books Clan Of The Cavebear was excellent. I read this series way to young though, it takes a more mature reader.Originally Posted by kluchetta
I'm listening to the Valley of Horses right now (Auel) - I've only ever read through part of the Mammoth Hunters. For some reason I got bored with that one. We'll see if it's more exciting now that I've aged a bit.
Have you read Jurassic Park? That's a great one. Timeline is good too. My husband just read State of Fear and liked it.
