Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Marg from The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries!
Dead Even- Mariah StewartI was hooked on this series. Read the first 2 books (Dead Wrong and Dead Certain) and had to reserve the third to complete the series quickly!
FBI Special Agent Miranda Cahill has always played by the rules: always maintain a respectful professionalism, and never mix business with pleasure. Except when it comes to fellow agent Will Fletcher. Their on-again, off-again relationship has left painful scars even he has never seen.
Now, a series of murders has the two agents racing to outwit a killer before he can strike again. Miranda and Will know that lives depend on identifying intended victims and tracking them down before the killer does. But as they begin to unravel this homicidal agenda, it becomes clear that Miranda may be the last and final target in a twisted game. With the clock ticking, time is running out on a killer who is determined to cross Miranda’s name off his hit list . . . permanently.

Dead End - Mariah StewartThe last in the series
Avon County, Pennsylvania, detective Evan Crosby is called in to investigate when several schoolgirls from well-to-do families are found murdered in the same manner. Then other girls are found dead, seemingly killed in the same way, but the new victims are Hispanic and unidentified. With the help of his girlfriend, FBI profiler Annie McCall, Crosby determines there are two killers and elects to concentrate on the case of the unclaimed girls. Crosby's romantic relationship with Annie is complicated by memories of her fiance, FBI agent Dylan Shields, who died during an FBI operation--his death unsolved. Evan, hoping to provide closure for Annie by reinvestigating Dylan's killing, makes discoveries that bear on the current cases. Evan and Annie make sympathetic leads, and Stewart effectively frames the fast-paced story with details of police investigation and profiling techniques.Sue O'Brien
