|title= The Sleeping Beauty Killer (Under Suspicion 4)
|rating= 4
|genre= Crime
|summary=Fifteen years ago, Casey Carter went to prison for the murder of her fiancée Hunter Raleigh. The evidence seemed indisputable; her fingerprints were on the gun that killed him and her skin tested positive for gunshot residue. She'd been known to be argumentative and passionate, qualities that earned her the nickname ''Crazy Casey'' thanks to a tell-all book by an ex-boyfriend. Even her family seemed to suspect her guilt. But now Casey is out of prison and determined to prove her innocence. Who better to help her than Laurie Moran and the ''Under Suspicion'' team? After hearing her case, Laurie promises to give her a fair hearing on her TV show and reinvestigate the circumstances of Hunter's death.

|summary=''He came up with a plan, a solution, a way to live, which was to get very small and very quiet and leave no wake. So he had to be pure. He had to be holy. He had to be contained.'' He is Joe, an ex-Marine, ex-FBI, who has had demons drummed into him by not only his work but his abusive father, with the help of a hammer. Having left one of his own hammers behind in a hotel room, only to need it in an introductory scuffle which really places the reader in a dark and grim place, he moves on to the next job on his list – rescuing the daughter of a Senator. But are that holy lack of wake and his consummate survival skills actually going to be enough?

|title= The Man Who Wasn't There
|rating= 3
|genre= Crime
|summary= Somewhere along the line over the last few years ''Nordic noir'' has become the mixed metaphor du jour. It's hard to say where it started, the novels of Henning Mankell possibly, though Mankell himself credited Martin Beck series of novels by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö as being the first to take mix Swedish crime story-telling with social commentary. Stieg Larsson took it in a different direction with his Salander trilogy – much darker and much more violent. For most Brits and Americans though the term really hit home when ''The Bridge'' and ''The Killing'' hit our screens. It was through TV that we found the books.
