19)A Season For The Dead by David Hewson
"When a man enters the Vatican library carrying a bloody bag and lays the skin of a man across the table of his ex-lover, Nic Costa and his partner follow to see what is going on. Costa is an Italian police officer and knows that he has no jurisdiction in the Vatican but he enters the library to help. There is not just one murder, however, but multiple ones where the victims are posed as martyrs and the connection between all the victims is sleeping with one person: Sara Farnese. Meanwhile, Costa has to deal with his ailing father, pain in the ass boss Falcone, and controversial cardinal.

20)Snow Storms In A Hot Climate by Sarah Dunant
"Is Elly's love affair with a New York cocaine dealer too deep and dark to be broken - even by an old friend? Who is she most frightened of - the drug or her 'golden boy' Lenny? When Marla responds to Elly's call from America she finds herself ensnared in the twilight world of drug smuggling. Though she thinks she can tell truth from lies, she too begins to get sucked in, equally fascinated and repelled by Lenny, master of the cocaine circuit. Obsession, betrayal and revenge twist into an ever-tightening knot in this breathtaking psychological thriller. "
21)The Crowded Bed by Mary Cavanagh
Joe Fortune, a Jewish GP, has been married to Anna, his Aryan beauty, for twenty years, in a relationship that is sustained with great passion and happiness. But in the shadows of their lives, dark secrets are hidden. Joe has long nurtured a desire to murder Gordon, Anna's father; a motive born of past events and involving revenge, mutual hatred, and Gordon's deep prejudice for Joe's Judaism. 'If you wrong us, shall we not seek revenge?' Anna too is hiding deep, painful secrets. In a highly charged expose, the reader is led back and forth over the changing face of the last half century to discover love, lies, passion, religion, cruelty and violence. While the powerful Joe is revealed as angry and resentful, Anna's quiet dignity discloses her own extraordinary and shocking revelations
22)Kitty Takes A Holiday by Carrie Vaughn
After being exposed on national television while turning wolf, Kitty heads to the mountains of Colorado to pen her memoirs and get some much needed R and R. But this is Kitty, so trouble is never far behind, and instead of Walden Pond, she gets Evil Dead. First someone leaves grotesque animal sacrifices on her front porch to curse her, then werewolf hunter Cormac shows up with an injured Ben O'Farrell, Kitty's lawyer, slung over his shoulder. Two hotties and one Kitty in a single-room cabin - can the situation get more tense? When a wolf-life creature with glowing red eyes starts niffing around the cabin, Kitty wonders if any of them will get out of these woods alive
