1. Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn

2. Changes: The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher

Roc; Reprint Edition

"For those of you who don't know, The Dresden Files is about a P.I. in modern-day Chicago — but he's a wizard. Firstly, up until this point, each book has been a two-word title. The title of book 12? Changes. The opening line hit me (and the rest of us fans) like a semitruck."

—tarryng
