In Talking to Strangers by Fiona Barton, Elise and Kiki are both trying to solve a murder. The closer they get to an answer, the closer they get to being in real danger. This book had a good storyline, but I would have liked more action. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

However, he soon finds out that being a hero comes with a price. This is really good with lots of action and characters that I cared about.

"Someday Soon" by Debbie Macomber
Someday Soon by Debbie Macomber is a light romance about two different couples. One is Tim, a mercenary whose leg got blown up by a mine, who falls in love with his therapist, Francine. I enjoyed watching the relationship between these two develop best. The other was Cain, Tim's boss, and a widow named Linette. I enjoyed this book because after having put my cat down, I needed something light and cheery. This book was just what I was looking for at the time. There were lots of emotions in this book.

"How to Age Disgracefully" by Clare Pooley
How to Age Disgracefully by Clare Pooley is about a handful of older people who band together to stop their senior center from being shut down. I enjoyed it! I liked the characters and it was funny at times too. The story line kept the book moving along and there is even a dog in it which always is a good thing! This is an enjoyable, light read.
