I've been doing some reading this week on the dock during our amazing heatwave (30 C in May!!):

Murder Stone by Louise Penny, fourth in the Three Pines series. This one is not set in the town and is focused on the dynamics of a single family staying at a remote resort with CI Gamache. Lots of red herrings and suspicions to go with a strange murder. I love reading these at my remote cabin in the woods, it makes the setting really come alive.

Endless Night by Agatha Christie, one of her later standalone novels. Not my favourite, I'm sort of addicted to Poirot and this is more romantic suspense than mystery.

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
by Rachel Joyce. Sweet story and wonderful character(s), but the journey itself was not terribly believable. Easy enough to suspend disbelief and go along for the interesting ride though.

The Keeper of Lost Causes by Jussi Adler-Olsen. Great addition to the police detective genre, with a department of two (Department Q) investigating cold cases in Denmark. The pairing of a smart but unmotivated and wounded detective with a secretive political refugee as his civilian assistant brings something new to the table. I couldn't put it down and I can't wait to read the next one.
