    Crime thrillers rule the roost this time around – the top three are all classic examples of the genre. Patricia Cornwell's forensic expert Kay Scarpetta is back for her 15th outing in the caustically slow Book of the Dead, which is only really worth reading if you're a fan of the series. Meanwhile, Wilbur Smith's Egypt series continues with The Quest, and Penny Vincenzi takes a look at the Lloyds Bank scandal of the 1980s in the appropriately-named An Absolute Scandal.
