The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton - a very young child is found alone on the dock in Australia in 1913. She is taken in by a young couple and knows nothing of her history. In 2005 her granddaughter continues the search. The story goes back and forth in several times but wasn't hard to follow.

Silken Prey by John Sandford - a Lucas Davenport mystery. A political fixer is missing and may be involved with child porn showing up on a candidate's computer. Lucas is called in to quietly look into things. Too much political scumbaggery for me and I didn't think the characters were very developed.

The Draining Lake by Arnaldur Indriaoson - an Icelandic lake is draining because of an earthquake and a skeleton is found. Unlike tv shows, it takes the police team months of painstaking investigation to solve the case. Also told from the perpetrators viewpoint, which goes back in time to the Cold War.

The Firemaker by Peter May - a forensic pathologist from America goes to China to teach for 5 weeks at a police academy. She becomes involved in 3 seemingly unrelated murders and at the same time becomes attracted to the Chinese detective heading the case. Lots of misunderstanding because of culture. Written in 1999 so it seems a little dated. The first in a series, I think there are 5 more. Some sex.
