Entertainment Weekly Gives 'The Ruins' an A-

Something new

J. F. Freedman is a suspense writer who really delivers, but as sometimes happens, his books aren’t as well known as they deserve.  Since Zooba has so many members who like suspense, we thought it would be neat to offer a Freedman novel that was available only to club members. Check out A KILLING IN THE VALLEY and let us know what you think.

We’re also making available J. F. Freedman’s best-known book,  AGAINST THE WIND.  If people show interest in oldies we bring back and, especially, new books that are exclusively for members,  we’d like to do more.  So your reactions and recommendations would be most welcome.
