| Four Funerals and Maybe a Wedding: A Royal Spyness Mystery by Rhys BowenStarring: penniless Georgiana "Georgie" Rannoch, who was 35th in line for the British throne before she withdrew from her position to marry Darcy O'Mara, an Irishman with a secretive government job.
What happens: Georgie plans her summer 1935 wedding (the king and queen are attending) and takes over the running of her godfather's country house...only to find that the servants might be trying to kill her.

| Sweet Little Lies by Caz FrearIntroducing: Cat Kinsella, a too-empathetic (according to her boss) 26-year-old London detective constable estranged from her family.
What happens: A cold case from Cat's childhood is related to a new murder investigation -- and her pub-owner dad may have connections to both.
Who it's for: This compelling British police procedural debut has fascinating characters (especially Cat) and a twisty plot that will appeal to fans of Tana French, Ann Cleeves, and Susie Steiner. |

Who it's for: Benjamin Black and Tana French fans may like this slow-burn debut's realistic characters and evocative Irish setting. |
