Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs - the 3rd book in the Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series. This picks up immediately after the 2nd book and I had a little trouble remembering what happened. Jacob has discovered a new gift and it may help him rescue the kidnapped peculiar children and Miss Peregrine. He travels to a time loop in a slum part of Victorian England. I found the descriptions of the place and inhabitants disturbing. A trilogy that does seem to end nicely.

Smoked by Elaine Macko - the vegan wife of a butcher dies under mysterious circumstances and soon the police suspect murder. Alex Harris, co-owner of a temp agency, is asked by the butcher's daughter to help clear her father. This is the 5th in a series so I'm not sure how Alex has gotten her reputation, I think she's naturally snoopy. Filled with lots of talk about family, pets, and drinking lots and lots of tea. I had it figured out long before Alex and thought I would scream if she mentioned one more time that everyone had an alibi because of the murder method. This was a free Kindle book.

I found her not an entirely sympathetic character but I sure wanted to know what was going to happen. A couple of graphic sex scenes made me unable to give this more than
