"Snow White Must Die"

"Snow White Must Die"  by Nele Neuhaus

I read that this was an international best seller, so i was hooked.

from good reads:

"Snow White Must Die by Nele Neuhaus isa tremendous new contemporary mystery series and huge international bestseller—with more than3.5 million copies in print!"  ...

 not being used to this type of book, i didn't "get into it" right away.  but stuck with it and glad i did.  

From another review, on good reads"

"With "Snow White Must Die" (Minotaur Books 2013), Nele Neuhaus shows the reading world that she can spin a tale steeped in small town politics, local culture, European geography, and that places the reader at the epicenter of a grisly mystery.

"The Fifth Assassin"

"The Fifth Assassin"  by Brad Meltzer

Loved it!!!  And "Uncle A." will tooo!  Am so sure of this, that I had us go out and buy a Large Print copy of it, in our area book store.  

I had the library LP copy out of the library, and read it in a short time.  (Long book, but short chapters.)  But can only keep a "new" book out for 2 weeks, and that doesn't give him long enough.  Now, when he finishes with the library LP copy of "Killing Lincoln" (Bill O'Reilly), he can read "The Fifth Assassin" at his leisure.

OK, what is it about?  History, secrets, Washington, DC, searching for the meanings in code, fast pace, a thriller....  Plus, the author has done his background work!!!  If any of these things intrigue you, please read "The Fifth Assassin."
