 | The Sinner by Tess Gerritsen
It is a shocking scene: within a cloistered convent lie two nuns-one dead, one critically injured.
It is a shocking scene: within a cloistered convent lie two nuns-one dead, one critically injured. The brutal crime appears to be without motive. Soon another woman is found murdered, her body mutilated beyond recognition. Together, medical examiner Maura Isles and homicide detective Jane Rizzoli uncover an ancient horror that connects these terrible slaughters. As long-buried secrets come to light, Isles finds herself drawn inexorably toward the heart of an investigation that strikes closer to home-and toward a dawning revelation about the killer's identity too shattering to consider.

 | The Loved One by David Case, Evelyn Waugh
In Waugh's satire of American life, Barlow, the English protagonist, is a young man who comes to Hollywood to stay with the screenwriter Francis Hinsley, his uncle. Shortly after Barlow's arrival, Hinsley is fired from his position and hangs himself. While making arrangements for the burial, Barlow falls in love with Aimee Thanatogenes, one of the embalmers at the funeral home. Barlow courts Aimee by sending her plagiarized poems about death, and he takes a job at a nearby pet cemetery in order to raise enough money to get married. However, Aimee's boss, Mr. Joyboy, is also in love with her and concocts a plan to get Barlow out of the way. One of the most outrageous black comedies ever written, The Loved One is probably the most biting of all Waugh's satirical works. AUTHOR: David Case, Evelyn Waugh
