    1. I am looking forward to reading Shy Creatures. The only other book by her I’ve read before is Learning to Swim, which I enjoyed years ago.

    1. I haven’t read her Two Rivers books, although I have watched the TV adaptation of the first one. I hope you’ll enjoy the Vera books.

  8. Margaret, I’ve got The Dark Wives and The Black Loch on my list and am very, very much anticipating both of those. Several others here look good as well. Thanks for sharing them!
