January 16 Sister by Rosamunde Lupton
When her mom calls to tell her that Tess, her younger sister, is missing, Bee returns
home to London on the first flight. She expects to find Tess and give her the usual
lecture, the bossy big sister scolding her flighty baby sister for taking off without letting
anyone know her plans. Tess has always been a free spirit, an artist who takes risks,
while conservative Bee couldn't be more different. Bee is used to watching out for he
wayward sibling and is fiercely protective of Tess (and has always been a little stern
about her antics). But then Tess is found dead, apparently by her own hand.

September 11 The Yard by Alex Grecian
Victorian London--a violent cesspool of squalid depravity. Only twelve
detectives--The Murder Squad--are expected to solve the thousands of crimes
committed here each month. Formed after the Metropolitan Police's spectacular
failure in capturing Jack the Ripper, the Murder Squad suffers the brunt of public
contempt. But no one can anticipate the brutal murder of one of their own...
A Scotland Yard Inspector has been found stuffed in a black steamer trunk at
Euston Square Station, his eyes and mouth sewn shut. When Walter Day, the
squad's new hire, is assigned to the case, he finds a strange ally in Dr. Bernard
Kingsley, the Yard's first forensic pathologist. Their grim conclusion: this was not
just a random, bizarre murder but in all probability, the first of twelve. Because the
squad itself it being targeted and the devious killer shows no signs of stopping
before completing his grim duty. But Inspector Day has one more surprise, something
even more shocking than the crimes: the killer's motive.

December 11 The Crowded Grave by Martin Walker
It's spring in the idyllic village of St. Denis, and for Chief of Police Bruno
Courreges that means lamb stews, bottles of his beloved Pomerol, morning
walks with his hound, Gigi, and a new string of regional crimes and international
capers. When a local archaeological team searching for Neanderthal remains turns
up a corpse with a watch on its wrist and a bullet in its head, it's up to Bruno to solve
the case. But the task will not be easy, not with a meddlesome new magistrate, a
series of attacks by animal rights activists on local foie gras producers, and a summit
between France and Spain approaching--not to mention two beautiful, brilliant women
vying for Bruno's affections.
