Ember Falls by S.D. Smith - the 2nd in the Green Ember series finds the rabbit resistance against Morbin Blackhawk in trouble. Pickett and Heather, the two rabbits from the first book are settling into their positions, with Pickett leading an elite fighting squad and Heather a healer. Treachery within their own family and from others seems to threaten the rabbits very existence. The book ends on a cliffhanger and I can't wait for the next installment.

Robert B. Parker's Debt to Pay by Reed Farrel Coleman - a Jesse Stone mystery authorized by the estate of Mr. Parker. Jesse's ex is getting married and a psycho is threatening to kill her. I don't feel this author got the character of Jesse quite right, he seemed a little whiny to me. Just internally of course, he's still macho on the outside. In fact, most of the characters seemed a little off.

The Old Man by Thomas Perry - Dan Chase seems like a bland retiree until the night someone sneaks into his house and tries to kill him. Then he seems a very capable fellow indeed. He's been waiting for this moment for 30 years. The book started with a bang but bogged down in the middle portion. I had a hard time liking Dan but was interested to see what would happen to him. I liked his dogs, Dave and Carol, the best.
3.5 stars
