Heather Graham Book review "Nightwalker"

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  I was meandering the isles of the public library and just made a grab for one of Heather's books I hadn't yet read and came up with a winner.  Of course Heather's books are rarely losers.  In Nightwalker she combines the past with the present in flawless style while creating a page turning suspense adventure.  I was hooked from the moment the dying man fell on Jessy pinning her to the craps table where she had just won the money she was desperate for.

A highly recommended book I'd give it five Bookmarks!

Have you visited a bookstore lately?

The two big stores that spring to mind are Barnes and Noble and Books a Million.  Both are huge both have nice coffee shops and both are great for browsers.  I love to walk the isles and look at the books.  In today's economy I can't afford to buy all the books I want so I carry a small notebook and write the authors and titles that catch my eye.  Later I go to the library and see if they have them for check out.  Its great to read for free!
