Does your local library sell bags of books, the neighborhood yard sale offer some cheap reading?  Try one of these murder mysteries. While My Pretty One Sleeps and a Stranger is Watching both by Mary Higgins Clark. While My Pretty One Sleeps, set in the Big Apple, reminds you that  people are not always what they seem, even close friends.  A Stranger is Watching is a book you definitely don't want to read late at night when you are home alone.  The setting again is New York City and surrounding areas, even the most innocent people can be most crazy.
