Feast on this delectable collection of "whodunits" from some of the mystery world' s most diabolical chefs. Whet your appetite with Sara Paretsky's "Skin Deep," in which fan-favorite Chicago private investigator, V.I. "Vic" Warshawski, takes on a chi-chi salon after one of its clients turns up dead. For your next course, try Wendy Hornsby's award-winning "Nine Sons," a country schoolteacher's recollection of a gifted student whose farm life was more troubled than it seemed. Then treat yourself to Elizabeth Peters' “ The Runaway,” which tells of two sisters who flee from home— and head straight into the arms of terror.
