The big book at the 2005 Frankfurt Book Fair-with rights now sold in seventeen countries and counting-Jennifer Lee Carrell's Shakespearean thriller Interred with Their Bones is the most eagerly anticipated debut thriller of 2007.
From a reader's review:
The synopsis for the book is printed for all to see and needs little addition from me. Suffice to say that the plot of the book revolves around a modern day serial killer re-enacting some of Shakespeare's finest scenes. But why is he killing and why in such a grotesque and unique fashion? Is there is a method in his madness? and how can he be stopped?
The book is well written and combines modern day murders and true revelations from the life of Shakespeare himself. An interest in the bard may help some with the enjoyment of the book, but it is by no means compulsory. The book judging by other reviews may not be everybody's cup of tea but I found it an enjoyable read. It is however one of those books where you need to give it your full attention and keep your concentration, not as sometimes happens with me, one eye on the book the other on the television.

The Carey Treatment (A Case of Need) A Case of Needis a mysterynovel written by Michael Crichton under the pseudonym Jeffery Hudson. It was first published in 1968 and won an Edgar Award in 1969.
The novel is a medical thriller in which a Boston pathlogist, Dr. John Berry, independently investigates the death of a young woman, Karen Randall. Berry becomes involved when his friend Dr. Arthur Lee is implicated in Karen's death: Lee is accused of performing the abortionon Karen Randall that led to her death. Crichton's later novels are preoccupied with technology: his novels can be extended examinations of the morality and implications of a particular innovation draped over the structure of a thriller novel. In
A Case of Need, however, it is a medical practice and not a techological innovation that is at issue.
Allison Brennan - See No Evil (thriller) A cunning killer hides in plain sight.
A troubled teenage girl has been charged with the grisly murder of her stepfather. The evidence is damning: Emily was found alone at the scene with blood on her hands, and an incriminating e-mail she wrote outlines a murder plot identical to the method of the brutal slaying. But deputy district attorney Julia Chandler believes her niece is innocent, and she’s determined to keep the promise she made to protect her dead brother’s daughter–even if it means hiring private eye Connor Kincaid . . . the man who blames her for forcing his resignation from the police department.
Together Julia and Connor uncover a chain of unsolved violent crimes tied to an unorthodox therapist whose anonymous online patients purge their anger by posting lethal fantasies. But someone in the group has turned vigilante, turning the game of virtual murder into a flesh-and-blood vendetta.
