Accompanying Mrs Humboldt to Eastbourne, Dot enters an intoxicating new world of cocktails, circuses and dance halls, a life far removed from her quiet Hampshire village. And she soon catches the eye of a sophisticated seducer. Dot must quickly learn the ways of the world if she is to forge her own path, on her own terms.

When she successfully applies for a junior reporter role at The Tyke, a magazine serving the Yorkshire Dales, she's thrilled to be entering the world of journalism - even if she only gets the position because so many men are away fighting in the war. Bobby moves to the sleepy village of Silverdale, but she quickly discovers life in the countryside is a different world. Not only does she need to win over the local animals but there are a whole host of eccentric characters to get to know, not least of whom is her editor's younger brother, the charming but infuriating village vet Charlie. As Bobby struggles to be taken seriously by the gruff dalesfolk, she starts to wonder if she's made a huge mistake. Will the city girl ever find her place in the beautiful but hostile countryside of the Dales?

Grace's life is perfectly fine, thank you very much. A widow of seventy-two, she lives quietly, and although hearing a little more from her daughter and granddaughter would be nice, she has her health, her friends, her octogenarian yoga (however reluctantly attended) and most of all her weekly club where she creates exquisite, miniature train sets. However, when her estranged daughter rings her in shock, about to lose her home, Grace invites Amelia and her daughter Charlotte to live with her. With them, they bring all the messy, complicated feelings from the past, and the more Grace gets to know her granddaughter Charlotte, the more she adores her. As Charlotte enlists her help to solve a mystery at school, the small family begin to find each other again. Grace is about to discover that although opening her heart again may be painful, in the end it's the only thing that makes life worth living.

The dog sitter detective takes the lead / Antony Johnston.

Gwinny Tuffel is preparing for her first acting role in a decade in the West End, but she is dog-sitting on the side to keep the wolf from the door. So, when ageing rock star Crash Double needs help with his Border Collie, she jumps at the chance. After all, looking after the charming Ace on Crash's Little Venice houseboat shouldn't be an onerous task. But that's before the singer's dead body surfaces during the annual Canal Carnival festivities. While the police dismiss the death as an accident, Gwinny suspects murder most foul. With a medley of suspects and some far-fetched motives to make heads or tails of, it is up to Gwinny, with Ace's on-the-ground knowledge, to make sure the killer faces the music.

Somewhere - a sundown / Sheldon B. Cole.

When Blake Durant reached the town of Lincoln, he really should have just kept riding. But he didn't get the chance. Within moments of his arrival, a gun-tough named Nico Semole injured his horse and then tried to pick a fight with an old man. Blake stopped him and beat him to pulp. But Nico just didn't know when to quit. Later that day he came at Blake with a gun - and set off a chain of events that was to end in murder and bloody revenge. Nico's brother Kent aimed to settle the account with Blake, and he had just enough gun-speed to do it. Furthermore, the local marshal was all burnt out, and Blake knew he couldn't rely on the man to keep the peace. So it looked as if the man they called The Loner would have to take matters into his own hands - and when he did, there was gunsmoke in the air and dead men on the ground.

Their shaky alliance is further challenged by the severe weather preventing them from travel. Jared learns the miscreant band intends to ransack the town when they leave. Knowing the outlaws are killers, Jared recruits a teamster and a couple townsmen to help him do the impossible - put twelve men in custody, in a town with few able men and no sheriff or jail.

Went to London, took the dog : a diary / Nina Stibbe.

Twenty years after leaving London, Nina Stibbe is back in town with her dog, Peggy. Together they take up lodging in the house of writer Deborah (Debby) Moggach in Camden for 'a year-long sabbatical'. It's a break from married life back in Cornwall, or even perhaps a fresh start altogether. Nina is not quite sure yet. Debby does not have many demands - only to water the garden, watch for toads, and defrost the odd pie - so Nina is free to explore the city she once called home. Between scrutinising her son's online dating developments, navigating the politics of the local pool, and taking detergent advice at the laundrette, this diary of a sixty-year-old runaway reunites us with the inimitable voice of 'Love', Nina, as the writer becomes, as she puts it, 'a proper adult' at last.
