20 Violette Noziere by Sarah Maza
Violette Noziere was a young woman who poisoned her parents. Her father died; her mother lived. After she was apprehended (and perhaps before, though this is in dispute) she accused her father of incest. The story is fascinating in itself, but to Maza it is emblematic of interwar changes in Paris in social stratification, mores, art, fashion and politics and the rise of interest in noir, detective stories and fait divers. Excellent read as true crime and social history of 1930's Paris.

21 True Grit by Charles Portis- movies were good, but the book is better.
22 Gringos by Charles Portis - ok, but I was a bit disappointed after reading True Grit. Maybe just me by I thought it was a bit rambling and I had trouble keeping all the characters straight.
