Looking For A Book Recommendation

Lisa Scottoline. Lisa Unger, especially Die For You. Umm... my stuff fits this category.

I'll keep thinking...

I was about to recommend our own HeyJude's work, actually. Her novel Broken is just what you're looking for.

Psst. You take PayPal, right?

Having read Mama Jude's work, I'd go with Broken.

Okay guys, seriously now...

(But thanks. )

A few more, gothic:

Still Missing, Chevy Stevens. I adored this book. Also about a kidnapping.

Heartstopper, Joy Fielding.

I'd Know You Anywhere, Laura Lippman.

Heartsick, by Chelsea Cain. Excellent. Also a kidnap novel, with a truly sick twist.

Let me know if you want more.

You could always try Stieg Larsson since the MC is such a playboy...

Harold and the Purple Crayon.

Oh, wait. Wrong thread. My bad.

Lead Poisoning, especially if you like dysfunctional families.

And you people call yourselves my friends.

Okay I'm looking for titles that incorporate crime, but also has a strong relationship element.

You could try JD Robb's (Nora Roberts) Eve Dallas series, starting with Naked in Death. Eve is a detective in New York about forty years in the future. She meets the enigmatic businessman Roarke in book one, when he's a suspect in the case she's investigating, and they have a relationship throughout the series.

One thing I particularly like is that they get married in book two (or maybe book three? it's been a while) so the majority of the series is about them working to build a life together despite their differences, not the will they/won't they business you often find.

Cheers.

Will someone put up a link to Heyjude's Broken?

Sorry, RJK (hey, you passed 3K posts!), we were being a bit silly. Broken's still on submission. Hopefully to be available in stores someday, somewhere... Thanks for asking.

You mean it's not availble yet? (And I was so looking forward to picking it up at my local Barnes & Noble.)

I'm crestfallen - it was going to be my Christmas present from me to me.
