The blue hour : a novel / by Hawkins, Paula,author.;
"An isolated Scottish island, accessible to the mainland only twelve hours a day. A famous (some might say infamous) artist whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared after visiting her twenty years ago. A present-day discovery that intimately connects three people and unveils a web of secrets and lies. A masterful and propulsive novel that asks searing questions of ambition, power, gender and perception, The Blue Hour cements Hawkins's place among the very best of our most nuanced, powerful and stylish storytellers."--

Not how I pictured it / by Lefler, Robin,author.;
"Agnes "Ness" Larkin has been out of the spotlight since her quick departure twenty years ago from a starring role in a hit teen TV drama. When the show is tapped for a reboot, no one is more surprised than Ness that she signs on to rejoin the cast, leaving behind a normal--if not exactly thrilling--life in Toronto. Also back for round two are Libby, Ness's former best friend and soon-to-be makeup-empire magnate, and Hayes, Ness's one-that-got-away, who has risen to A-list fame (and somehow gotten even better looking) in the ensuing years. After the cast sets off for filming near the Bahamas, a storm rolls in and leaves the seven actors and one production assistant stranded on a small island, with only an abandoned, derelict mansion in which to wait out the storm. But when the weather clears and a new day rises, they find that their boat is gone. Stuck in a bizarre, crumbling house on an uninhabited island with possibly the most useless survival group in history, Ness and her co-stars are forced to revisit a minefield of past transgressions and come to terms with the adults they've become as they work together to ride out their personal storms. Or at least pretend to. They are actors, after all. Interspersed with weather reports, fictional memoir excerpts and Perez Hilton-esque blog posts, Not How I Pictured It is a rollicking novel of delightful absurdity, pithy dialogue and no shortage of heart."--

Mindful of murder / by Juby, Susan,1969-author.;
"Meet Helen Thorpe. She's smart, preternaturally calm, deeply insightful and a freshly trained butler. On the day she is supposed to start her career as an unusually equanimous domestic professional serving one of the wealthiest families in the world, she is called back to a spiritual retreat where she used to work, the Yatra Institute, on one of British Columbia's gulf islands. The owner of the lodge, Helen's former employer Edna, has died while on a three-month silent self-retreat, leaving Helen instructions to settle her affairs. But Edna's will is more detailed than most, and getting things in order means Helen must run the retreat for a select group to determine which of Edna's relatives will inherit the institute. Helen's classmates, newly minted butlers themselves, decide they can't let her go it alone and arrive to help Helen pull things off. After all, is there anything three butlers can't handle? As Helen carries out the will's instructions, she begins to think that someone had reason to want Edna dead. A reluctantly suspicious investigator, Helen and her band of butlers find themselves caught up in the mystery."--Provided by publisher.
