A Fine Summer's Day by Charles Todd - this is a prequel to the Ian Rutledge series. It takes place just as WWI is starting and we see what the inspector was like before he was haunted by war. He has just become engaged and is also investigating some baffling murders.

Dead on the Island by Bill Crider - P.I. Truman Smith has retired from investigating after failing to find his missing sister. But when an old friend asks him to find a missing girl he's back in action. By the author of the Sheriff Dan Rhodes books.This was written in 1991 and some if it feels rather dated. Lots of time spent feeding the cat.

Love, Nina: A Nanny Writes Home by Nina Stibbe - in 1982, when she was 20, the author became the nanny of two precocious boys. She began writing letters to her sister describing her life in the home of a magazine editor and neighbor to a famous playwright. Lots of initials used so it gets confusing at times. Fairly amusing, some language.

Murder at the Brightwell by Ashley Weaver - Amory Ames is a wealthy young woman with a wandering husband. When she's invited to a party at the seaside by her former fiance she doesn't know there will be murder as well. An old fashioned murder mystery with lots of twists and turns and quite a surprise ending. At least to me. I hope there is another by this author.
