Kindle Free Pick of the Week: Blood Island

Is everyone ready for their Kindle Fires?

Here's a good one this week to get the month of November off to a good start.

Set in Longboat Key, Fla., Griffin's third mystery to feature semiretired lawyer Matt Royal (after 2006's Murder Key) proves bad things can happen in beautiful places. Matt, who's traded suits for shorts, now does mostly pro bono investigative work. When his ex-wife, Laura, shows up, needing help in locating her stepdaughter, Peggy, who went missing in Sarasota while on spring break, Matt dives into a puzzle with a quickly rising body count. Matt becomes really worried after Laura goes missing. Is her disappearance linked to Peggy's? The suspense rises as the trail leads to Key West and the Heaven Can't Wait Spa, where Matt uncovers a connection to Rev. Robert William Simmermon, a crazy preacher with a hidden agenda headquartered on nearby Blood Island. Griffin's breezy first-person narration brings the likable Matt, with his killer reflexes and wry sense of humor, vividly to life.

Green Bay Holds On, Now 8-0

The Green Bay Packers remained the NFL's only undefeated team, beating the San Diego Chargers 45-38, behind two touchdown passes from star quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers threw touchdowns to four receivers and the Packers ran back a pair of Philip Rivers interceptions for scores as Green Bay held on for the win despite a wild finish.

Rodgers completed 21 of 26 passes for 247 yards for the Packers who improved to 8-0. He has an NFL-high 24 TD passes.

The game went down to the final minute, but a Charlie Paprah interception sealed the deal for Green Bay.
San Diego (4-4), which was picked by many to reach the Super Bowl has lost three consecutive games.

Oklahoma Becomes "Earthquake Central"

Another strong earthquake hit the state of Oklahoma on Saturday, days after a quake hit the central part of the state and a series of aftershocks followed.

The 5.6-magnitude earthquake's epicenter, located 44 miles east of Oklahoma City , was felt as far away as Wisconsin and South Carolina, but there were no serious injuries, officials said. The Oklahoma health department reported two minor injuries, neither requiring hospitalization.

The largest earthquake previously recorded in Oklahoma was a 5.5-magnitude tremor in 1952, according to the Geological Survey.

Week 9 NFL Play of the Day: Kansas City Chiefs

The Miami Dolphins travel to Kansas City today looking for their first win.  They are getting 4.5 points and some people think this is a trap game.

I don't see it, the Dolphins have been dreadful on the field and ATS.  I don't see the fact that they are 0-7-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. AFC and 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall being a good sign, so Kansas City, which sits 4-3 and 2-1 at home should win this by at least a TD.

Go with the Chiefs.
