The Sixth Man

The Sixth Man by David Baldacci

Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, two former Secret Service agents, work to solve the death of an attorney hired to represent serial killer Edgar Roy.  But did Roy really kill 6 men and bury them on his farm?  Or is he being set up by the government?

This is the first book I've read by Baldacci, and it was pretty good.  I figured out who the bad guys as soon as they entered the story, but I didn't mind too much.  I liked Sean and Michelle, and it always makes me laugh when they have FBI agents in a story, especially when they act like jerks.  Some plot points were a bit far fetched, but it's a summer-read type of book, so I tried not to think too hard.

The Three Musketeers

The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas

 Athos, Porthos, and Aramis join with young D'Artagnan to save France from the intrigues of Cardinal Richelieu and his spies.

This story is full of action, adventure, treachery... and words.  If you are not used to old-style writing, you might want to read an abridged version, because this is a long story with a ton of characters. Also, a little knowledge about French history doesn't hurt either.  That said, it's a good story... I can see why there's been so many movies made over the years.
