Week Two:
Here are this week’s reviews from the members of the Adult Winter Reading Club:
No Greater Sacrifice by John C. Stipa
This is a book continuing the Indiana Jones/Robert Langdon vein of adventure. Archeologist Renee d’Arcadia and Professor David Arturo are summoned to the reading of a will in Rennes-le-Chateau, France. They are soon unraveling clues to a 100 year old mystery, racing around Europe, and dodging killers. At times I felt a bit lost with the leaps of logic that took place to advance the story, but overall this was a very entertaining read.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Outrage by Arnaldur Indridason
I love this series of mysteries! This is the sixth book in the Dectective Erlendur series, and even though his colleague Elinborg solves this murder, it’s still a fascinating story.
Rating: 5 out of 5
The Retribution by Val McDermid
This is part of a British mystery series featuring detective Carol Jordan and profiler Tony Hill. This story has an interesting twist from the usual murder mystery in that there are two serial killers to chase down this time. I was not familiar with the previous books in this series, but that did not detract from the thrills of this book.

Travels in the Scriptorium by Paul Auster
This is the story about Mr. Blank, an old man clueless as to his identity and location. He’s just as lost as to why he is being helped with his daily routine. As you are reading it, you continue to wonder if any of this mystery can have any logical explanation.
