1. "Jupiter's Bone" by Faye Kellerman

Father Jupiter the leader of a New Age pseudo-physics, metaphysical commune is found dead of an apparent deadly drug and alcohol cocktail. His estranged daughter who has not seen him in 14 years calls the police that there is a suspicious death of her father at the Order of the Rings of God.

The John Rebus book Strip Jack was a lot of fun. I like really well done puns and there were quite a lot in this book as well as the inevitable twist at the end. some samples:
Rebus musing at a house of ill repute bust, "I'm not my brothel's keeper."

Rebus to his Det. Sgt Brian, "You're like a son to me."
Brian replies, You're like a father to me, sir. The fa-ther I get from you the better."

And there are are more that just tickled me.
