Right. And the author?

One of the rare examples of a good change. And a better title in any case. Name the author for a point.

9. Cross Stitch - Outlander, Diana Gabaldon. I haven't read her books, but I once heard a radio interview with her, and she said she'd heard of complaints from readers who thought they'd bought a book about needlework.

Yes. Apparently Cross Stitch was the working title, but Gabaldon's American publisher had the same reaction, hence Outlander. Then the British publisher didn't like Outlander, so it was back to Cross Stitch.

So here it is:

1. The Golden Compass - Northern Lights (Daithi), Phillip Pullman (orlok)
2. Roasting in Hell's Kitchen - Humble Pie, Gordon Ramsay (orlok)
3. The Beloved Returns
4. Elected Silence
5. Murder on the Orient Express - Murder on the Calais Coach (poohbear), Agatha Christie (orlok)
6. Down Under
7. The Legacy
8. The Ghosts of Belfast
9. Cross Stitch - Outlander, Diana Gabaldon (Shayne)
10. Cantata-140 - The Crack in Space, Philip K. Dick (poohbear)

Some hints for the remaining five: Two are set in Australia. One is an abridged version by Evelyn Waugh (the abridgment, that is). One was originally written in a language other than English. One title above was deemed too negative for its native market, so it was originally titled something innocuous.
