The Devil's Garden by Richard Montanari

Michael Roman is finally living the life he always dreamed of – he has a successful career, a beautiful wife and adorable twin daughters. But his idyllic life is about to come crashing down around him – because Michael is a man with a past. A rising star in the New York District Attorney’s office and on the cusp of enormous success, Michael’s perfect life begins to unravel when he finds himself the target of a depraved madman, a man who covets everything Michael has and will stop at nothing to take it all away. In a desperate fight to survive, Michael is forced to confront the dark secrets of his past in order to save his family. He must hunt down the psychopath who is targeting his family and, before it is too late, face the devil himself . . .

Some rather scary characters and a well done ending. 

Savannah Blues by Mary Kay Andrews

Reeling from a divorce, Eloise "Weezie" Foley misses her lovingly decorated historic home a bit more than she misses her cheating ex-husband. Her passion is finding and selling antiques, and she struggles to collect enough inventory to turn her hobby into a full-fledged business. When she discovers a dead body while attempting to sneak early into an estate sale, things get complicated especially because the murdered woman is her ex-husband's latest girlfriend. Andrews moves the plot along with a multitude of quirky and entertaining secondary characters Weezie's alcoholic mother, an uncle who is a gay ex-priest, and an old boyfriend who is the chef at her best friend's pricey bistro. Facts about period furniture, linens, china, vintage clothing, magazines, and paintings blend seamlessly and enrich what might have been just another screwball romantic story.

It had me hooked from page one. Very entertaining.
