    The Fig Eater by Jodi Shields.

    Check out the synopsis on Amazon. I think it could be called a thriller.

    Oh, I see me and my big mouth don't have enough posts to nominate.

    Apologies. Just pretend I never said it.

    Thanks for pointing me to the poetry games, Niamh! Regardless of how and how fast I get my 50+ posts, I am enjoying myself in that forum. A bit addictive, actually...

    Night Watch! I would read that!

    Etienne, what do you mean by "If only you knew"? Is that a comment on Night Watch or a comment on The Next Episode?

    This is a very mixed bag of choices. I've researched all of them, and they really run the gamut - from actual classic suspense to psychological thriller to mystery to fantasy.
