The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan - Nina loses her job as a librarian and decides to take a chance. She buys a van and turns it into a bookmobile, instead of lending books she sells them. And she does it all in a small town in Scotland, way out of her comfort zone. This is basically a Harlequin romance book with better writing. I could predict every turn. It was a nice light read.

Racing the Devil by Charles Todd - seven officers meet by accident right before the Battle of the Somme. They agree that if they survive they will meet in Paris and race to Nice a year after the war is over. In 1920, the Rector of a small village is found dead in a motorcar accident. A motorcar that he borrowed from one of the seven officers. Inspector Ian Rutledge suspects it was not an accident and may be a case of mistaken identity. Lots of twists and turns, more murders, and a surprise (to me) culprit. I really enjoy this series.

Daisy in Chains by Sharon Bolton - Hamish Wolfe is a charismatic serial killer locked in prison. He has many followers claiming his innocence. Maggie Rose, a lawyer and best selling author may be his ticket out if he can persuade her to take his case. This one had lots of turns and twists and just when I would think I knew what was going on I didn't. A good surprise ending.
