Soon

 Fiction by Lois Murphy

Nebulah is a little town in rural Australia where a haunted, deadly mist comes every night to stalk the residents. Nearly all have fled the area since the mist first appeared at the last winter solstice; at the beginning of this story only eleven people remain, which quickly dwindles to six. 

What is the mist? What will happen when the next winter solstice comes? And WHY don't these people want to leave this awful place? Who knows?

I hated this book. It had a terrible ending and never explained the mist at all. 

The People We Meet on Vacation

 Fiction by Emily Henry

Poppy and Alex met in college and take trips every summer to various places, but they are only good friends. Even though they spend every summer together and have absolutely no success in romances with other people, they never consider dating each other and they certainly aren't attracted to each other. Right?

This was a pretty good straight romance. The characters are fun and likeable enough to keep things engaging, even though there are no surprises.

Rock Paper Scissors

 Fiction by Alice Feeney

Adam and Amelia Wright take a weekend trip to Scotland in a last-ditch effort to save their marriage. The trip is to a historic chapel turned into a home, but it's miles from anywhere and there's a storm threatening to snow them in. Plus, there's someone else on the property they don't know about, someone who seems to have a hidden agenda...

This was a decent set up, and there was a really interesting twist in the middle of the story.  The ending, however, was sooooo unbelievable that I can't recommend this book.

A Pocket Full of Rye

 Fiction by Agatha Christie

https://www.audible.com

This classic Miss Marple mystery begins with the death of Rex Fortescue in his London office, "the king in his counting house." There is a great deal of contrivance involved, almost --but not quite!-- past believability. It's still a great story with an unexpected ending.

I also read recently by this author: They Came to Baghdad

The Arrangement

 Fiction by Keirsten Modglin

https://www.barnesandnoble.com

Ainsley and Peter have been married long enough to feel like things have gotten a bit stale between them. So Ainsley proposes an Arrangement... They will each be allowed to sleep with other people, but only once a week, and only as long as it doesn't interfere with their family life. Peter acts reluctant to agree, but gradually the reader realizes he's been cheating on Ainsley all along. 

This was a strange book, and a lot of it seemed too far-fetched to me. Also I really didn't like Peter of Ainsley very much. 

Razorblade Tears

 Fiction by S.A. Cosby

https://www.barnesandnoble.com

Tagline: A Black father. A white father. Two murdered sons. A quest for vengeance.

Ike Randolph and his grown son Isiah have had a difficult relationship. Not only did Ike spend much of Isiah's childhood in prison, Ike has been less than supportive of his son as an adult. When Isiah and his husband Derek are murdered, Ike is devastated and wracked with guilt, mourning over the son he'd lost and could never reconcile with.

Derek's father Buddy Lee finds himself in a similar position, and both men decide to channel their mutual grief into vigilante rage when they realize the police aren't getting anywhere in the investigation into Isiah and Derek's deaths.

This was a good story, and much more character-driven and emotionally deep than the tagline makes it sound.

Falling

 Fiction by T.J. Newman

What if a terrorist kidnapped a pilot's family and held them hostage? In this story Bill Hoffman is piloting 143 people from LAX to JFK when he receives this message: crash the plane, or your family dies....

This was a very exciting thriller!
