The School Run by Aussie Author Ali LoweMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Last Remains by Elly Griffiths appears to be the final book in this series. I shall miss all the characters, especially Ruth and Cathbad. It was fun having an archaeologist and a druid as characters in a crime series.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A couple more fun ones from Amazon's Busybodies Collection, cosy mysteries.Crime of Fashion by Emma Rosenblum takes place at a fashion shoot where a minor underling is accused of stealing a necklace worth $3million! Poor kid.
My review of Crime of Fashion~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Nosy Neighbor is by Nita Prose, who wrote the popular The Maid, among other things. It seemed straightforward, but I should have known better. Nicely twisty.

Michael Connelly has Harry Bosch and The Closers reopening unsolved murder cases using new testing technologies on old evidence. Another excellent story.
