Sleeping Murder by Agatha Christie - a young wife is shocked to discover that her newly purchased home was somewhere she briefly lived as a very young child. She is even more shocked to suddenly remember a murder there. But Miss Marple is there to help Gwenda and her husband discover the truth. This is billed as the last Miss Marple but was written during WWII and published much later.

The Day of the Dead by Nikki French - the 8th and final book in the Frieda Klein series. Frieda is in hiding to protect the lives of her loved ones. Psychopath Dean Reeve is still on the loose and still obsessed with her. Now she's determined to finally bring things to a close. But now she has another young girl hiding with her who also needs her protection. Frankly, I would have been glad to get rid of Dean a few books ago. It seems the author had trouble coming up with a new villain and had to resort to rehashing.

The Third Victim by Phillip Margolin - when the victim of kidnapping and torture escapes, she identifies the home of attorney Alex Mason as the place she was kept. This story intertwines with Robin Lockwood, new associate of Regina Barrister who is hired to represent Mason. Robin is worried about the mental status of Regina and how it will affect the trial. I figured out what was really going on pretty quickly.
