Do you enjoy mystery books? This week you could win a set of books from James Patterson's series, The Women's Murder Club, the second bestselling detective series in the US in the past 12 years (only second to Patterson's Alex Cross series.) You'll receive all the books in The Women's Murder Club, including Patterson's latest in the set, The 8th Confession.

The 8th Confession (hardcover): When a preacher with a message of hope for the homeless is found brutally executed, reporter Cindy Thomas knows the story could be huge. Probing deeper into the victim's history, she discovers he may not have been as saintly as everyone thought...

Rich, beautiful, and powerful, Isa and Ethan Bailey were living in the spotlight as San Francisco's perfect couple--until they are found dead in their luxurious home.

As the hunt for two criminals tests the skills of the entire Women's Murder Club, sparks begin to fly between Detective Lindsay Boxer and her partner, Rich Conklin, making it difficult to stay focused on the case. The electrifying new chapter in the Women's Murder Club series, THE 8TH CONFESSION serves up the mile-a-minute twists that only James Patterson can deliver.

  • 1st to Die

Would love them.

I was going to do the Oh Pick Me Pick Me thingy but I thought I would try and be mature.
What a great prize pack!
I like Columbo from t.v.~
Vivian P. Mar 31, 2009, 4:18pm EDT
Lindsey Boxer is my favorite
I absolutely LOVE James Patterson, but have not had a chance to start these books.

In books, my favorite detective is Alex Cross, which is another of Patterson's creations.

In TV, though, my favorite detective is Agent Seely Booth, with the help of Dr. Temperence Brennen, from Fox's Bones series- which is based on a book series AND the real life of criminal anthropologist Kathy Reichs. I couldn't get into the books, though, but they aren't the same as the show.

I also love watching NCIS, CSI:NY, and Criminal Minds.
Nora C. Mar 31, 2009, 4:21pm EDT
That sounds great. My favorite detective (on TV) is Monk. He's funny, but at the same time always solves the crime. I also love the CSI group.
I would just LOVE this. Everything I watch on TV, as I don't go to the movies often is about Law, Detectives, Forensics. I'm just fascinated with it all.

My favorite shows are all the Law & Order series, starting with Criminal Intent as I just love how smart Bobby Goren is and figures out these complicated things, and his profiling as another of our favorites was when Court TV (now True TV and ruined in my opinion) was Dale Hinman who is/was a profiler. Forensic Files is watched, ID TV has great detective and law shows. I've even started to like NCIS for the investigative work they do.
So, yeah, I think I'd really like all of these books.
Kim B. Mar 31, 2009, 4:28pm EDT
Oh, it's so hard. I want to say Alex Cross. But, I'll have to say 'Monk'. He is so funny and so good at his detective work.
Johnny M. Mar 31, 2009, 4:28pm EDT
I would love to win these books!!
my favorite detective is Benson from law and order SVU played by Mariska she is great!.

ps i hope this is not open just to women. men like to read too.....
Vikki M. Mar 31, 2009, 4:30pm EDT
Oh how awesome! I love detective shows, books, movies, etc.

My favorite detective in a book is Lucas Davenport from John Sandford's "Prey" series. In a TV show I'd have to pick Detective Mike Logan from the original L&O. (of course that's mostly because he was portrayed by the sexy Chris Noth!)
Ariel Storm Mar 31, 2009, 4:37pm EDT
My favorite tv detective was Lenny Briscoe, on the original Law & Order though it is so hard to pick just one.
April H. Mar 31, 2009, 4:43pm EDT
I am actually a fan of the old-school Agatha Christie books! So she's my favorite book detective.
On TV, I like almost all of the Law and Order detectives.

This is a great prize pack - I'd love to read his work!
Linda G. Mar 31, 2009, 4:53pm EDT
I grew up reading every Nancy Drew book! I was diappointed by the Nancy Drews on screen. I would have to say I love Hercule Poirot from the classic PBS Mystery Series. I love all Agatha Christie's books, but Hercule is my favorite detective
Debby C. Mar 31, 2009, 5:04pm EDT
oh.....good one Linda, I am an avid Nancy Drew fan, and then of course I love Hercule P., Dame Agatha invented a good one with him!
tammie p. Mar 31, 2009, 5:10pm EDT
we are a mystery household here. from watching all the csi's to reading patterson's books. this would be a perfect prize for me.
my favorite detective would have to be matlock but their are so many good ones i like
Stefanie Plum, Gather Partner Team Mar 31, 2009, 5:16pm EDT
Please note, I've up'd the giveaway recipients from five winners to 10!!!
Kat W. Mar 31, 2009, 5:17pm EDT
I would love these books! I hated when the TV show based on these books was cancelled. My favorite TV detective is Andy Sipowicz from NYPD Blue. While he was rough around the edges he cared about his cases and the victims. Especially child victims.
Kat W. Mar 31, 2009, 5:17pm EDT
Great news, Stefanie! Thank you!
That's great Stefanie. Very nice giveaway and now twice as nice.
Sue * Mar 31, 2009, 5:19pm EDT
I love mystery books, and I haven't read these. Being chosen for this prize would be a huge treat for me. My favorite detective on television right now is Lilly Rush (Cold Case). I love the show.
Lori F. Mar 31, 2009, 5:23pm EDT
Do I get points for feining maturity...or at least an extra entry?
Marianne R. Mar 31, 2009, 5:24pm EDT
I've never read this series, but have read all the Alex Cross novels plus some of Patterson's other stuff Like Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas.

Vikki named one of my favorites, Lucas Davenport is definitely a good one and Sandford is a regular on my reading list too. So I'll say Pierce Quincy who is one of Lisa Gardener's reoccurring characters.
Stefanie Plum, Gather Partner Team Mar 31, 2009, 5:27pm EDT
Unfortunately acting mature will not get you ahead in this contest, Lori. ;-)

Leave as many comments as you like, though your name will only be included once in the drawing. But make sure to answer the question for your comment to count.
Melanie C. Mar 31, 2009, 5:30pm EDT
Books: My favorite detective is Alex Cross. I’ve read all of Patterson's Cross books; the stories and characters are so interesting.

I love the way he incorporates Alex's family and friends into the books. With each new book not only to you get to enjoy a great thriller, it’s so fun to see how Alex’s kids (and Alex) are growing up!
Kylee **Queen of Karaoke** S. Mar 31, 2009, 5:33pm EDT
I would love to win these books. I have read a few Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas and Sunday's at Tiffany's and I would love to read this series.

My favorite detective is Olivia Benson from Law and Order SVU
Rhetta A. Mar 31, 2009, 5:48pm EDT
Oh, how I would love to win those books.

My favorite is Grace, played by Holly Hunter in Saving Grace. She is the most unique and the strongest female character I have ever seen in a television show. I love how complex she is, and how she does not always know the answers, yet her heart is always in the right place.
Lori Cee (rest in peace, jJack.) Mar 31, 2009, 5:52pm EDT
i've been a mystery buff since the hardy boys and nancy drew days. im sure i've read them all. mary higgins clark, carol higgins clark and james patterson are 3 of my faves. i just borrowed patterson's book, "cross country", from the library.

my favorite TV detective is elliot stabler on "law & order: special victims unit". he's played by christopher meloni and he's so damn hot!
JoAnn C. Mar 31, 2009, 5:58pm EDT
Do I have to pick just one?

my favorite TV detective is Jim Brass from CSI.
Lori A Mar 31, 2009, 6:08pm EDT
Who is your favorite detective in a book, movie, or TV show? That would be Lucas Davenport of the prey novels by John Sandford. my second favorite is Lindsey Boxer I even have a computer game called death in scarlet which is a woman's murder club game by Patterson. I would so much love to win these books .
Mary M. Mar 31, 2009, 6:08pm EDT
Sherlock Holmes is my favorite detective in fiction books. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created not only a fabulously written collection of tricky mysteries for readers to solve, but an intriguing lead character who was a mystery in and of himself!

My favorite television detective is Adrian Monk, from the "Monk" series. Tony Shalhoub brings to life a complicated man with a brilliant mind. The show is also peppered with fun wit and is a nice escape from everyday stress.

I have read many of James Patterson's books about Maximum and her winged friends, so I have always wanted to delve into some of his other types of stories. This series sounds really interesting!
Christine K. Mar 31, 2009, 6:18pm EDT
Columbo was always my favorite! He always made people think that he wasn't very good, but he was very clever. I also liked Magnum PI.
Jo N. Mar 31, 2009, 6:38pm EDT
I absolutely love James Pattersons books. I especially like the ones with Alex Cross in them, so I guess that I would have to say that I like Alex Cross for a favorite in a book, and I love the old Sherlock Holmes movies and for t.v. I would have to say I still really like the character Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote.
I would really love to win these books! My daughter has started to read them and she likes them too.
Elizabeth V. Mar 31, 2009, 7:06pm EDT
Dennis Lehane's Patrick Kenzie, no doubt about it. I haven't read Patterson's books, so I can say Patrick Kenzie is better than one of Patterson's characters. But I really love Patrick Kenzie. He's a private detective in Boston.
Debra M. Mar 31, 2009, 7:10pm EDT
I read a lot of books, but my favorite detective is Detective M. Clousseau, as portrayed by Peter Sellers! On a serious note, I have to say Sherlock is tops...

I was just checking out the James Patterson website for my son. He had read the Maximum Ride series. I read them all, as well, plus one of the Alex Cross books, and really like Patterson's writing style. I hope to pick up the latest Maximum book this week.
Janice Dobson Mar 31, 2009, 7:11pm EDT
I think It's a cross between alex cross and lucas davenport,with eve Dallas coming in last. I also love to watch csi and ncis
Amy H. Mar 31, 2009, 7:17pm EDT
I love to watch Monk! Does he count? LMAO it has to be one of the best of all times. He is corney but yet so smart.
Kari L. Mar 31, 2009, 7:23pm EDT
My favorite detective on television is Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan who is portrayed by Emily Deschanel on Bones.

Thanks for doubling the prizes Stefanie!
Bridget ♥ Mar 31, 2009, 7:26pm EDT
James Patterson is amazing, although I have never read any of the books in this giveaway. I would LOVE to receive these books, WOW!

My husband and I LOVE watching CSI, Law & Order, NCIS, Bones, NUMB3RS, Without A Trace, Lie To Me... all of those crime detective shows. We watch them all the time and really enjoy them.

I LOVE Elliot Stabler!
Debra C. Mar 31, 2009, 7:28pm EDT
I really enjoy James Patterson, though my favourite of all time is probably Lord Peter Wimsey (Dorothy L Sayers).
Nana to Seven Cutiepies Mar 31, 2009, 7:49pm EDT
Lindsay Boxer is the best, she holds the women together and keeps them grounded.

I have read every James Patterson book, including all the Women's Murder Club books. As a matter of fact I am reading Run For Your Life right now. I just finished Cross Country and my DH is reading Sail. I love the way the Patterson books have short chapters, are so easy to read and they are real page turners. The added bits about what is going on in the Cross family are great also.
The Michael Bennett dectective novels are excellent also, but my favorite is the Women's Murder Club series. I have been anxiously waiting for the 8th book.
Lana B. Mar 31, 2009, 8:04pm EDT
My favorite detective? Hmm. Tough choice. My favorite is Peter Falk's Columbo. Columbo is just so quirky and strange and yet perceptive and Peter Falk plays him with such cunning dumbness.

I've not had a chance to read any of the Women's Murder Club books, though I do enjoy Patterson's books. I particularly enjoyed The Lake House, which I gather was a departure from his usual style.
Angela A. Mar 31, 2009, 8:53pm EDT
I love the t.v. show Pysche. The lead character Shawn, is a psychic detective. At least he wants everyone to believe that he is. He's just super observant and pick up clues that no one else can't, not even the police.
The show is hilarious.
Crystal R. Mar 31, 2009, 9:53pm EDT
This is a great giveaway. I like many detective series on television and my mystery books. I like Psych like Angela does. He's hilarious. I cannot narrow it down to a single person but my favorite detectives are the entire cast of Criminal Minds. They are criminal profilers for the BAU. They come into a crime scene and give a profile of the suspect. I cannot pick a single person because I love the team dynamic. They all give something special to the unit. It's a must-see.
Trish A. Mar 31, 2009, 9:56pm EDT
My first encounter with a detective was Nancy Drew. This series got me hooked on detective series. So, I think she would be my favorite.

I would love to read these books!
Susan B. Mar 31, 2009, 10:01pm EDT
Who is your favorite detective in a book, movie, or TV show? I enjoyed the short-lived Women's Murder Club show. Sorry 's gone. I also love Adrian Monk
April H. Mar 31, 2009, 10:09pm EDT
My favorite fictional detective type is Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas. Too bad real detectives don't have his supernatural skills. I would love to receive this set of books, I have not had anything good to read since before christmas
Mary (diet dr pepper junkie) T. Mar 31, 2009, 10:34pm EDT
I've decided I don't want to be mature. PICK ME!! PICK ME!!! OH! OH! PICK ME!!!
Cheryl F. Mar 31, 2009, 10:36pm EDT
I like Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck) :)
Kimber L. Mar 31, 2009, 10:43pm EDT
My favorite detective is Debra Morgan on the tv show Dexter - she is human and makes mistakes like the rest of us. She is pretty cool.

In real life it is the detective who got me safely to the battered women's shelter when I left my abusive ex
Renita P. Mar 31, 2009, 11:02pm EDT
Oh wow. I don't think I could pick a favorite! I love mystery novels and crime tv shows. I'm trying to remember which author, but I love the ones that have a married couple of FBI agents - Agent Sherlock and I can't think of the husband's character name. Darn!!! I also am a big James Patterson fan but I have yet to read any of these.
Chris W. Mar 31, 2009, 11:03pm EDT
keep the Patterson book; I am way too busy to read his stuff. Oh my goodness, that came out sounding really snide. Well, let it stand. It's not that Patterson is an offense against humanity, it's just that you can't write 3 novels per year and expect them to be much good.
Chris W. Mar 31, 2009, 11:07pm EDT
but since you asked, my favorite detective is Arkady Renko, the Russian detective in "Gorky Park" and the other wonderful books by Martin Cruz Smith.

I am also a fan of Mikhail Blomqvist and Lisbeth Sallander in the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series.
Jan S. Mar 31, 2009, 11:34pm EDT
Choosing one is almost impossible, especially when they have such individual talents and styles! I really like Kinsey Milhone in Sue Grafton's Alphabet mystery series.

Lee Child's Jack Reacher is totallty cool - he is the man! Odd Thomas sees dead people, so he has a big advantage and unique adventures. Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum cracks me up. Each has something special.

I would love to win these books. I've only read one and I liked it a lot.
Janet "Jax" B. Apr 1, 2009, 2:03am EDT
Oh I love so many detectives....but I would have to say that my favorite is still my childhood favorite series Trixie Belden. I wanted to be her, minus the obnoixous older brother...and I had the red hair and blue eyes too. I still have every one of my Trixie Belden books.

As for TV....I have a lot of favorite detectives...I love Agent Gibbs (Mark Harmon) on NCIS...and of coarse, I loved Magnum P.I. (Tom Selleck)....and I do think McGuyver (Richard Dean Anderson) falls in to the detective category.
Mary G. Apr 1, 2009, 3:01am EDT
I love Monk and going to miss the show, as just one season left. He is human and proves its fine to not be perfect.
Jennifer O. Apr 1, 2009, 4:58am EDT
I liked Bruce Willis' character on Moonlighting! And...I would love to win this prize pack!
Kimberly Ripley Apr 1, 2009, 9:24am EDT
A a dedicated James Patterson fan, I must admit that my favorite detective is Alex Cross. His steadfast sense of righteousness combined with his clever analytical senses manage to find the killer every time.....and of course with Patterson's expertise as a killer-thriller author, we never know the outcome until the end of the book!
Nancy L. Apr 1, 2009, 9:43am EDT
It's got to be Colombo. He was so smart but cleverly hid it behind his bumbling ways which always threw the killers off.
Brittney R. Apr 1, 2009, 9:47am EDT
I grew up reading and loving Nancy Drew! However, I'm just starting to get back into mystery books--I've found several at the house where I'm housesitting, and have been reading them.

For my favorite television detectives, I'd have to say the partners Elliott Stabler and Olivia Benson.
Trudy P. Apr 1, 2009, 9:48am EDT
Ohhh Ya..... I love James Patterson! Monk all the way.... I love him!!!
DiAnA D. Apr 1, 2009, 9:49am EDT
I absolutely love Patterson books! My favorite detective had to be Angela Lansbury!!
Marsha S. Apr 1, 2009, 9:58am EDT
These would be some awesome reading! Actually growing up my favorite was always Nancy Drew. I couple years ago I won some other books in auction that were mystery and suspense. I really enjoyed reading them, the not wanting to put the book down feeling because you have to know what will happen next! I've not read any of James Patterson's books, this would be an awesome win!
Tina B. Apr 1, 2009, 10:02am EDT
I love Richard Jury, the Martha Grimes detective. I also like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum character.
Victoria H. Apr 1, 2009, 10:05am EDT
Who is your favorite detective in a book, movie, or TV show?

For humor I like Janet Evanovich's character Stephanie Plum. For just general reading I like John Sandford's Lucas Davenport, Lee Child's Jack Reacher, and Robert B. Parker's Jesse Stone and Spenser.
Amy S. Apr 1, 2009, 10:15am EDT
My mom and I have read a bunch of James Patterson's books! I would love to read these books!

I don't think I could pick one favorite. They are all good in different ways.
Samantha H. Apr 1, 2009, 10:20am EDT
Alvirah Meehan. She's one of Mary Higgins Clark's most loved characters. She's so real and you can't help but love her.
Heather ~of the Whippets~ M. Apr 1, 2009, 11:02am EDT
One of my favorite detectives is Mary Minor "Harry" Harristeen from the Mrs. Murphy Mystery series.
karen h. Apr 1, 2009, 11:39am EDT
I love mystery novels and who done its and wow to have to pick a favorite there are just so many to choose from I first got hooked on mystery novels way back when i was a child so for me i would have to say that if I had to choose it would be the very first detectives I ever read because they are who got me hooked so without about it was Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys but of course my taste have evolved since then all though I love movies such as CSI and NUM3ERS I will never forget my first love's of mystery
Kristina P. Apr 1, 2009, 12:52pm EDT
I love mystery novels. The intrigue, the suspense and catching the bad guys. My favorite detectives are Remmington Steele, he was just so fine, and Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote. I used to watch those shows all the time.
Denise B. Apr 1, 2009, 12:54pm EDT
oh my god I WOULD LOVE THESE!!!! this sounds like a great set of stories and I love a good mystery :)

My favorite character in a book is eve Dallas of the In Death series, I love the NCIS show on TV and I used to love Murder She wrote :)
Vicky K. Apr 1, 2009, 1:39pm EDT
Who is my favorite TV show detective?
Definitely Charlie Crews of Life. Despite the lost years of his wrongful imprisonment, he's back at solving crimes and helping others, while secretly figuring out his own. His approach to figuring out crimes has everyone baffled, thinking he is out of mind but he always comes through.
Angela Cisco Apr 1, 2009, 3:37pm EDT
I would love to win these books. James Patterson is my favorite author, and Alex Cross is my favorite detective from a book. It is hard to pick a favorite detective from TV because there are so many,but, I'd have to go with Det. Benson from Law and order SVU. Thanks for the very generous giveaway, I have me finger crossed:)
Mari H. Apr 1, 2009, 4:01pm EDT
I've read the first 4 in this series, and I'm a huge fan of James Patterson, reading many more of his novels. Alex Cross is great, but my fave detective by far is Stephanie Plum, who is authored by Janet Evanovich and is definitely my top choice for female crime novelist.
Teresa W. Apr 1, 2009, 7:42pm EDT
My favorite detective hands down is Lt. Eve Dallas from the In Death series by J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts). The series is awesome!
Dagmara H. Apr 1, 2009, 8:26pm EDT
This is a great book giveaways.

My favorite one woulde be Colombo. I used to watch it all the times with my parents
Karen Irene B. Apr 1, 2009, 8:52pm EDT
My favorite detectives are Jessica Fletcher, Monk and Miss Marple.
Sheila Deeth Apr 1, 2009, 9:26pm EDT
My favorite detective is Monk, because my Dad never saw him but I know he'd've loved him, and I watch old episodes at Christmas when my Mum visits us.
Sheila P. Apr 1, 2009, 11:09pm EDT
I would love these. I have been meaning to read some of his books, but have never gotten around to it.

I guess my fav detective would be Colombo, haven't watched much tv lately.
Jill~Sexy Back~ V. Apr 2, 2009, 3:17am EDT
My favorite detective in a TV Show was Lindsay Boxer on ABC's "Women's Murder Club" which was a series based on these books. I watched every single episode of this show twice and I was in love with it. It was such a great combination of mystery, suspense, drama, and a little comedy too with the relationships between the women. I was so upset when they cancelled this series, I actually signed several petitions and emailed execs at ABC to try and get it back on the air.

I would absolutely LOVE to win these books. Ever since Women's Murder Club got cancelled, I've been looking for something to peak my interest like that show did, but nothing's been good enough. I've always wanted to read the books that inspired the series, but I haven't had the extra money in our budget for books.
Linda T. Apr 2, 2009, 5:11am EDT
My favorite detective is Lindsey Boxer! I am so glad number 8 has finally come out. I love this series.
Stacey *Mamasaid* D. Apr 2, 2009, 10:22am EDT
Wow, I have a lot of favorite detectives. In books, my favorite detectives are Jane Marple (I just love Agatha Christie - Hercule Poiret is cool, too) and Nancy Drew. Who expects an elderly lady or a young girl to crack the case - but they always do. I also like Stephanie Plum in the Janet Evanovich novels (how can I resist a Hungarian/Italian bounty hunter when I relate so well?)

On television, when I was a kid I used to love to watch Angie Dickinson play Pepper Anderson on Police Woman. I also enjoyed Charlie's Angels - the old television show and the modern movie. I find Holly Hunter very entertaining in Saving Grace because her character is so unique. I also get a kick out of Monk because he seems so unlikely to solve the mystery yet he always does. I love a good mystery!!
Nurse Nancy S. Apr 2, 2009, 5:09pm EDT
Alex Cross...fell in love with him when I first watched the movie "Along Came a Spider." After that I got involved with the James Patterson novels. Alex Cross and I have an intimate relationship. He goes to bed with me almost every night. I have a really hard time putting the books down. Even at work, if I have a 5 minute break, Alex Cross takes one with me.

I love James Patterson...I want to win! Thank you for this opportunity!
Andrea (Ms. Conservative) L. Apr 2, 2009, 10:55pm EDT
I LOVE Alex Cross by James Patterson. I think James Patterson is an excellent writer and is one of my all time favorite writers. I like anything Patterson writes!
Desiree T. Apr 2, 2009, 11:03pm EDT
I would LOVE these books!!

My all time favorite detective is Colombo!! I do impersonations of him, how can you not love his "subtle" approach. LOL
Mindie Whitten Apr 2, 2009, 11:37pm EDT
Alex Cross is a favorite of mine but I also love the detectives of Anne Perry's books too. Thanks for the great giveaway!
♥¤ J K¤ ♥ Apr 3, 2009, 3:44am EDT
My favorite detective is Horacio Cane-CSI Miami.
kayleigh r. Apr 3, 2009, 2:18pm EDT

♠~Dnbuster~♠ ~. Apr 4, 2009, 7:36pm EDT
This is an Awesome Prize..

I would have to say munk on TV and Nancy Drew as far as books
jenn g. Apr 4, 2009, 10:13pm EDT
my favorite detective is definitly monk. he is so quirky as well as inteligent. he is very charismatic as well.
Kim M. Apr 5, 2009, 8:43pm EDT
I love Lindsey Boxer from the Women's Murder Club series, but my all time favorite is Lt. Eve Dallas from JD Robb's In Death series. I think there are a lot of similarities between the two characters.
.* Sandi * Apr 5, 2009, 8:46pm EDT
i think my favorite one would be any from the book i would be currently reading, I read the first book and i feel so in it, i want to get more, it was a good book!
It would be hard to pick one lol
I love them all!
Denise W. Apr 5, 2009, 8:51pm EDT
I would have to say Bones from the show Bones. I am not sure if she would be considered a detective but it does seem like the work she does is. She always solves the crime (or no crime lol)
Becky Grady Apr 9, 2009, 10:55pm EDT
I love Monk!

rlgrady[at]yahoo[dot]com
Tony Peters Apr 12, 2009, 7:46pm EDT
I have two favorites. Alex Cross (J. Patterson), and Harry Bosch (Michael Connelly).
Pam H. May 1, 2009, 10:36pm EDT
I am so sad that I missed this. I love this series, I read most of them from the library though. Lindsey Boxer is my favorite, just in case anyone should happen on to this post this late.
Pam H. May 1, 2009, 10:38pm EDT
I just realized why I missed this contest, we were on Florida from March 26 to April 5th. My niece and nephew, whom we were staying with, do not have internet access. I was lost w/o it.

I love Brenda from The Closer...it's intriguing how her mind works and how she can manipulate the truth out of person. I always love how she uses her team, with all their quirks, and draws strengths from them.
