This Girl’s a Killer by Emma C. Wells

Book No: DB126040

Cordelia Black loves exactly three things: her chosen family, her hairdresser, and killing bad men. By day, she's an ambitious pharma rep with a flawless reputation and designer wardrobe. By night, she culls South Louisiana of unscrupulous men-monsters who think they've evaded justice, until they meet her. Sure, the evening news may have started throwing around phrases like 'serial killer,' but Cordelia knows that's absurd. She's not a killer; she's karma. And being karma requires complete and utter control. But when Cordelia discovers a flaw in her perfectly designed system for eliminating monsters, pressure heightens. Cordelia must face the consequences of her decisions, or risk her family and her freedom.

Long Island by Colm Tóibín

Book No: DB125284

Eilis Lacey is Irish, married to Tony Fiorello, a plumber and one of four Italian American brothers, all of whom live in neighbouring houses on a cul-de-sac in Lindenhurst, Long Island, with their wives and children and Tony's parents. It is the spring of 1976 and Eilis, now in her forties with two teenage children, has no-one to rely on in this still-new country. One day, an Irishman comes to the door asking for Eilis by name. He tells her that his wife is pregnant with Tony's child and that when the baby is born, he will not raise it but will leave it with her. Eilis has choices to make, and what she does in the wake of this shattering news is at the heart of one of Tóibín's most riveting and emotional novels to date.

Funny Story by Emily Henry

Book No: DB120998

Daphne loved the way Peter told the story of how they met, fell in love, and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. Too bad it turned out to be a prequel to Peter's actual love story, the one where he dumped Daphne to be with his lifelong best friend, Petra. So that's how Daphne's story begins: stranded in Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with her dream job as a librarian, and as roommates with Petra's heartbroken ex, Miles Nowak. Just until she can get a new dream job anywhere else. Despite being complete opposites, they form a tenuous friendship. Miles believes Daphne deserves the chance to build a life in Waning Bay. He'll show her why he loves the idyllic town.
