Nighttime Is My Time by Mary Higgins Clark
" 'Nighttime Is My Time', built upon a frightening premise torn straight from today's headlines, is Clark at her very best, a riveting novel of suspense in which eerie coincidence gives way to chilling intrigue--and potentially devastating consequence. Across the nation, young women are vanishing. By all accounts, their disappearances seem unrelated. But one young woman, realizing that she may have narrowly escaped their fate, begins to wonder--could all these women have had the same abductor? Determined to learn the truth, she finds herself in the midst of an investigation pitting her against a dangerous and ruthless foe."

Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris
"When a vampire asks cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse to use her telepathic skills to find another missing vampire, she agrees under one condition: the vampires must promise to behave and let the humans that are involved go unharmed. Easier said than done. All it takes is one delicious blond and one small mistake for things to turn deadly."

Now, FBI agent Pendergast, journalist Bill Smithback, and archaeologist Nora Kelly join forces to protect themselves from a vicious killer...before they become the next victims."

Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey
"Phedre is trained equally in the courtly arts and the talents of the bedchamber, but, above all, the ability to observe, remember, and analyze. Almost as talented a spy as she is courtesan, Phedre stumbles upon a plot that threatens the very foundations of her homeland. Treachery sets her on her path; love and honor goad her further. And in the doing, it will take her to the edge of despair...and beyond. Hateful friend, loving enemy, beloved assassin; they can all wear the same glittering mask in this world, and Phedre will get but one chance to save all that she holds dear.
Set in a world of cunning poets, deadly courtiers, heroic traitors, and a truly Machiavellian villainess, this is a novel of grandeur, luxuriance, sacrifice, betrayal, and deeply laid conspiracies. Not since Dune has there been an epic on the scale of "Kushiel's Dart-a massive tale about the violent death of an old age, and the birth of a new."

We'll Always Have Parrots by Donna Andrews
"Meg travels with her fiance Michael to a fan convention for Porfiria, Queen of the Jungle--a cheesy cult TV show on which Michael has a minor role. Michael hopes the weekend will give him a chance to talk Miss Wynncliffe-Jones, the show's temperamental leading lady and executive producer out of enforcing a certain provision in Michael's contract.
Of course, Michael's not the only person whose career the dictatorial star has manipulated. So when the star is found murdered, the police have plenty of suspects. Trouble is, Meg doesn't believe they're going to arrest the right one. Soon she finds herself following the murderer's trail through a hotel filled with egotistical actors, costumed fans, and a motley flock of monkeys and parrots who, rebelling against their role as live scenery, have escaped from their cages to take an active (and noisy) role in the festivities."
