Fiction

sounds pretty convoluted indeed. Cunningham is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, though.

Baldacci is pretty reliable and readable. Hour Game sounds intriguing. "A woman is found murdered in the woods with a very special watch on her wrist-and what seemed a simple case soon escalates into a nightmare. The criminal methods of some of the most infamous killers of all time are being replicated by a new predator who stalks and strikes victims with a cunning brilliance. No one can understand the murderer's motives or who the next victim will be."
I put that one on my list.
