Fast and Loose, by Stuart Woods. Stone Barrington is enjoying a boating excursion off the Maine coast
when a chance encounter leaves him somewhat the worse for wear. Always
able to find the silver lining in even the unhappiest circumstances,
Stone is pleased to discover that the authors of his misfortune are, in
fact, members of a prestigious family who present a unique business
opportunity, and who require a man of Stone’s skills to overcome a
sticky situation of their own. A must for series fans.
The Red Hunter, by Lisa Unger. Unger is my go-to recommendation for thriller fans looking for a new author to try. Here, Unger tackles the question "What's the difference between justice and revenge?"

For Zoey, a childhood trauma has haunted her into adulthood as a simmering rage that fuels her. On two very different paths, these very different women are on a collision course, as Zoey's unaddressed issues and Claudia's new beginning both stem from a single residence.
All By Myself, Alone, by Mary Higgins Clark. Fleeing a disastrous and humiliating arrest of her husband-to-be on the

Lady Emily Haywood, “Lady Em,” as she is known throughout the world.
Immensely wealthy, Lady Em is the owner of a priceless emerald necklace
that she intends to leave to the Smithsonian after the cruise. Three days out to sea Lady Em is found dead—and the necklace is missing. Celia sets out to find the killer, unaware at the peril in which she has placed herself...
