:lol: My mom was worried that she would be first and wouldn't be around to play since she's curling. Looks like her fears were well founded.

She did, however, tell me to play for her until she got back. So Ace would like the lovely Giz to reveal :flasher:

BTW - I like the colours Danes!

I think I have Giz's reveal - I'll be right back....



Bird by Jane Adams




Bird's grandfather is dying, haunted by the image from his youth of a woman hanging from a tree. Before he dies, Bird vows to uncover the true story behind this woman. Even if it points to her grandfather being a murderer.

Blood Rose by William Heffernan TBR

Back cover:
A killer is on the loose ... His calling card, a withered rose, exchanged for a missing heart.

The body of a young woman is found in an open field, her mutilated corpse savaged by wild animals. Within days a second body is discovered, torn and defiled by human hands. Now a third victim bears mute witness to the terrifying presence of a depraved and relentless executioner.

For Paul Devlin, who fled his job as a New York City detective after a serial killer nearly claimed his life and his sanity, the nightmare has begun again. The safety he had sought in becoming chief of police in a small Vermont town has vanished. Now there is another maniac on the loose and the clock is ticking.

This time Devlin must capture a killer more elusive and more deadly than any he has ever known. He must act before the woman he loves falls victim to the killer's knife - and time is running out ...

:peek: I see we've started here too. :bananadance: I'll peek back again later.

Ace's reveal:

The Treatment by Mo Hayder



Midsummer, and in an unassuming house on a quiet residential street on the edge of Brockwell Park in south London, a husband and wife are discovered, imprisoned in their own home. Badly dehydrated, they've been bound and beaten, and the husband is close to death. But worse is to come: their young son is missing. When DI Jack Caffery of the Met's AMIT squad is called in to investigate, the similarities to events in his own past make it impossible for him to view this new crime with the necessary detachment. And as Jack digs deeper, as he attempts to hold his own life together in the face of ever more disturbing revelations about both the past and the present, the real nightmare begins... Horrifying, unforgettable, intense, The Treatment is a novel that touches the raw nerve of our darkest imaginings.

Countdown by Iris Johansen

TBR


From Publishers Weekly
Prolific bestseller Johansen subjects gutsy Jane Maguire to more troubles in her latest thrill ride. Jane, the adopted daughter of forensic sculptor Eve Duncan, was threatened by one serial killer in 1999's The Killing Game and another in 2004's Blind Alley, so it's no surprise that she's in danger again. The once troubled adolescent is now a brilliant Harvard student and talented artist who spends her summers at far-off archeological digs in Pompeii and Herculaneum, but she's still haunted by her resemblance to Cira, a woman who lived 2,000 years ago in the latter city. Suddenly she's being ambushed in alleys. Does the attempted kidnapping have something to do with Blind Alley's climax, in which Eve; her husband, Joe Quinn of the Atlanta PD; soldier of fortune Mark Trevor; and Jane, the bait, triumphed over the psychopath who was killing women who looked like Cira? You bet it does, as Trevor turns up in Cambridge, enigmatic but still definitely magnetic, determined to protect Jane from danger due to new developments regarding Cira, "the femme fatale of the ancient world." Seems all kinds of notorious criminals are after Cira's lost gold, but some people have mass murder on their minds. Action, romance, castles, bomb plots and a booby-trapped hideaway in snowbound Idaho—what more could Johansen fans want? Agent, Andrea Cirillo at the Jane Rotrosen Agency.

thanks Rebecca x

I'm going to bed. I'll be up around 10 am or so.
