Jonathan Kellerman When The Bough Breaks
Alex Kava A Perfect Evil or One False Move or Whitewash
Tami Hoage Ashes to Ashes or Night Sins or Deeper Than the Dead
Betty Webb--looks like her titles would be a special order
Joanne Fluke Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder
Monica Ferris, actually from Illinois Crewel World
John Sandford Rules Of Prey or Dark Of The Moon or The Fool's Run
Jack Nolte A Plunder by Pilgrims or it would be fun to try his short stories Everybody Loves a Hero

Minnesota Authors:
Rules Of Prey by John Sandford
Immoral by Brian Freeman
A Hard Ticket Home by David Housewright

I definitely think we should try The Salaryman's Wife, at some point.

Blood Safari by Deon Meyer

Just a note: We've had some requests for a a more structured discussion, so I'm going to look for some reading group specific titles; that might satisfy the "new writers" criteria requested, and most likely NOT the "local author" criteria we were interested in.
