I don't know what we have against Delaware, but I just looked through all of the current, non-dorman readers doing this challenge, and I think only 1 person has read a Delaware book. And that one was;
West of Rehoboth by Alexs D. Pate
Maybe I'll try to read something else to get some variety in this State.

I found 2 books et in Delaware...
Are you scared yet?
Delilah Swift is on a career and personal high—recently promoted to detective in Stephen Kill, Delaware, and becoming involved with the chief of police, Snowden Calloway. But happiness turns to dread when bodies surface in a local pond—all dead long before they reached the water. Delilah knows the hallmarks of serial murders, and each gruesome discovery points to a twisted psychopath growing bolder and more brutal.
True Justice
For Butch Karp, chief assistant district attorney for New York County, the nightmare begins with the discovery of a newborn baby, apparently murdered, then casually discarded with the city's refuse. Goaded by the media's sensational publicity, the public is screaming for blood, and Karp's boss, D.A. Jack Keegan, is listening. He has ordered the prosecution of the baby's fifteen-year-old mother for murder, intent on making a very public example of the girl. A Hispanic from a poor neighborhood, she's an easy mark for big-city bureaucracy and bigotry. It is Butch Karp's unpleasant job to see that the prosecution gives the public what it wants: a quick and thorough administration of hard-line justice.
Complicating matters further is Butch's wife, Marlene Ciampi, a private investigator who has decided to return to practicing law. Her first case takes her a few hundred miles south to a small Delaware town, where another baby has been found, its lifeless body placed in a motel dumpster by two scared kids. Marlene is representing the mother, a doe-eyed middle-class suburban teen who claims the baby was stillborn.
Under pressure from the D.A.—a politically ambitious local prosecutor who is pressing to make it a case of capital murder—the infant's father is singing a different song, placing all the blame on the girl.
