Here's a new author/series, one that was a great find! :-) Death on the Bookshelf, the first in The Pages and Paws Mystery series, by Poppy Bridgeman. Ginny has inherited a bookshop in Devon, one that has a lot of old files, records, and books, some that are valuable (and kept in a locked room). When a body (of someone not liked all that well) is found in her bookstore, she is the prime suspect. She needs to find out what really happened. She is 'helped' by her two Welsh Corgi dogs.

A Very Bookish Murder is the third Ally McKinley Mystery set in Scotland by Dee MacDonald. There is a writer's retreat being held nearby, featuring a well known novelist who will be talking about writing, plots, and so on. A novelist who has helped many of those attending with their books, referring them to publishers, and so on. Ally is happy to provide housing for attendees. The retreat has barely started though when that novelist is found dead in the ladies' restroom. She has been strangled. Everyone is shocked until secrets surface involving, among other things, plagiarism ... and then there are lots of suspects. This has been a great series.
