Nope to the thriller and serial killer. #2 is a post 9/11 commune-cult storyline. #5 is friends raising a woman's orphaned teen daughter. #8 - Friends, fashion, revenge, divorce, an affair.
None of these do a whole lot to interest me, so I'm going with the picture book, first published in South Africa.
