19. The Branch and the Scaffold by Loren D Estleman

This is about Judge Parker.  I really just sort of skimmed it. 

20.  The Darwin Affair, by Tim Mason

I'm going to have to learn to just say no to any more thrillers from this book club.  I kept saying I was just not going to finish it, but then I did.  The villain was too evil for the book to be enjoyable, it was just creepy. What sort of a mind does a writer have to come up with this stuff? Thriller writers might be scarier than most of the people incarcerated. I lost count of how many characters were killed. The history part was decent.
