Kennedy NonFiction (deserving of it's own genre)
Brothers: the hidden history of the Kennedy years by David Talbot. John and Bobby Kennedy's battles against the gung-ho, anti-commie hawks in Washington and Bobby's own suspicions about his brothers murder. Not exactly a conspiracy book, but covering the suspicions held by leaders themselves.
NonFiction
The No-Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley. "This book turns discipline into a positive, affirming experience by offering a collection of proven techniques that you can custom-tailor to your child's unique personality."
Large Print
Dead Heat by Dick Francis and Felix Francis. Some horse racing mystery. I presume Dick is going into partial retirement and handing the reins - pun intended - to Felix.
Fiction
Dexter in the Dark by Jeff Lindsay. I have read Lindsay's previous two Dexter novels and they are great. Dexter is a blood splatter analyst for the City of Miami PD but his true passion is torturing and killing pedophiles and murderers. Dexter is a charming sociopath who has everyone convinced he is an average and happy dude. But, he is just very self-aware and plotting. Lindsay takes the gruesome subject matter and injects a lot of humor into the story. Dexter narrates each story and his misunderstandings and misinterpretations of basic human behavior and relationships are interesting.
Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsen. I've never read Gerritsen's books but she has a lot of fans. Dual narratives set in present day and 1830 Boston. In 1830 a poor medical student robs graves for cadavers. After a bloody campus murder he becomes a main suspect and starts his own investigation.
One-Way Ticket by William G. Tapply. Brady Coyne gets a late night call that his friend Dalton was severely beaten and in hospital. Coyne finds that Dalton was beaten for his son Robert's gambling debts to the Boston mob. When Coyne tries to interecede the mob boss holds Coyne responsible for his friend. But, what happens when Robert disappears...?
