The Paris Librarian by Mark Pryor - Hugo Marston's friend dies unexpectedly in a locked room in the American Library in Paris. Even though it looks like natural causes, Hugo has a feeling it's not and begins digging. When other people turn up dead, it looks like his suspicions are right. There's also a rumor that the papers of a famous actress recently donated to the library contain details of her work as a resistance fighter during WWII. Is there a connection? Not quite a s good as previous books in the series. A low

Y is for Yesterday by Sue Grafton - Kinsey Mullhone's latest case goes back in time 20 years when four boys commit manslaughter trying to recover a tape of an assault. Almost as soon as one boy is released from prison, his family receives a blackmail letter threatening release of the tape. That's where Kinsey comes in. In other bad news, the psycho who almost killed her in the last book is back. This was told from a few other viewpoints and from different time frames. Too much back and forth for me.

Sleeping in the Ground by Peter Robinson - a sniper takes out several people at a wedding and Inspector Banks team has no idea who did it or why. As they begin the painstaking digging trying to connect the dots they begin to think it has something to do with a murder fifty years ago. Banks has also just been to the funeral of his first love and is feeling morose. For a good detective he's rather obtuse when it comes to relationships.
