The Deep End by Joy Fielding

In a novel that grips like a waking nightmare, master storyteller Joy Fielding creates a searing examination of a horrifying crime, the limits of the law, and a woman's terrifying journey into a killer's twisted mind. In one tragic afternoon everything changed.  Until then, Gail Walton had considered herself lucky.  With a successful husband, two daughters, and a house in the New Jersey suburbs, Gail lived a safe and predictable life.  Then the unthinkable happened: her six-year-old daughter Cindy was abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered.

Crimson Joy by Robert B. Parker

A serial killer is on the loose in Beantown and the cops can't catch him. But when the killer leaves his red rose calling card for Spenser's own Susan Silverman, he gets all the attention that Spenser and Hawk can give. Spenser plays against time while he tracks the Red Rose killer from Boston's Combat Zone to the suburbs. His trap is both daring and brave, and gives the story a satisfying climax.
