Chapter and curse / by Penney, Elizabeth.;
Librarian Molly Kimball and her mother, Nina, need a change. So when a letter arrives from Nina's Aunt Violet in Cambridge, England requesting their help running the family bookshop, they jump at the chance. Thomas Marlowe--Manuscripts and Folios, is one of the oldest bookshops in Cambridge, and--unfortunately--customers can tell. When Molly and Nina arrive, spring has come to Cambridge and the famed Cambridge Literary Festival is underway. Determined to bring much-needed revenue to the bookstore, Molly invites Aunt Violet's college classmate and famed poet Persephone Brightwell to hold a poetry reading in the shop. But the event ends in disaster when a guest is found dead--with Molly's great-aunt's knitting needle used as the murder weapon. While trying to clear Violet and keep the struggling shop afloat, Molly sifts through secrets past and present, untangling a web of blackmail, deceit, and murder.

Iron Flame (2 of 2) [Dramatized Adaptation] The Empyrean 2 [electronic resource] : by Yarros, Rebecca.aut; Gavigan, Danny.nrt; Coan, Taylor.nrt; Rivera, K’Lai.nrt; Moreira, Robb.nrt; Brackett, Torian.nrt; Michael, Gabriel.nrt; Penning, Marni.nrt; Poppy, Megan.nrt; Cast, Full.nrt; Ridgell, LaMont.nrt; Harris, Laura C..nrt; Fraites, Khaya.nrt; CloudLibrary;
"Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College – Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is – unless she betrays the man she loves. Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits – and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules. But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year. Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College – and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.

Tomorrow is for the brave / by Bowen, Kelly(Romance fiction writer),author.;
Includes bibliographical references."When France falls to Germany in 1940, wealthy socialite Violet St. Croix could honor her parent's wishes and ride out the war on the French Riviera in comfort with lavish parties and couture gowns. Instead she defies the expectations of her time and travels to London to join General de Gaulle's Free French forces. Despite doubts because she's never worked a day in her life, Violet uses her love of driving fast cars to her advantage and eventually proves her worth. With her reputation for nerves of steel and her extraordinary aptitude for navigating dangerous conditions, she earns an assignment driving senior officers for the French Foreign Legion. As the war escalates, Violet finds herself in North Africa as the Allies try desperately to defend the advances of Rommel's Nazi forces. All women are ordered to leave the front but Violet insists on staying and won't abandon the fight. After a series of failures, Violet begins to suspect that there is a traitor in their midst, sabotaging their efforts by providing intel to the enemy. Then her supervising officer dies, and she is certain that it is not an accident but murder, although convincing her colleagues proves nearly impossible. So together with the one man who believes in her and her theory, she must identify the spy. Determining who else to trust in order to survive might just be her most dangerous assignment of all. Based on the true life story of Susan Travers - the only woman to ever serve in the French Foreign Legion - this novel celebrates a daring woman who used her courage and strength of will to not only save lives but save her country"--

Argyles and arsenic / by MacRae, Molly,author.;
"After 93 well-lived years, Violet MacAskill is ready to simplify her life. Her eccentric solution? She'll throw a decanting and decluttering party at her family home-a Scottish Baronial manor near the seaside town of Inversgail, Scotland. Violet sets aside everything she wants or needs, then she invites her many friends in to sip sherry and help themselves to whatever they want from all that's left. Janet Marsh and Christine Robertson, two of the women who own Yon Bonnie Books in Inversgail, enjoy themselves at the party. Not everyone who attends has a good time, though. Wendy Erskine, director of the Inversgail museum, is found dead, and rumors swirl about food poisoning from a local food truck. Then Violet tells Constable Hobbs that a tin of rat poison is missing. And when Hobbs' own grandmother comes under suspicion for murder, he enlists the women from Yon Bonnie Books, and the race is on to find the murderer"--

The colors of all the cattle / by McCall Smith, Alexander,1948-author.;
"Precious Ramotswe dips her toe into the world of politics in the newest addition to the beloved and bestselling No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. When Mma Potokwane suggests to Mma Ramotswe that she run for a seat on the City Council, Mma Ramotswe is at first unsure. But when she learns about the proposed construction of the flashy Big Fun Hotel next to a graveyard, she allows herself to be persuaded. Her opponent is none other than Violet Sephotho, who is in the pocket of the hotel developers. Although Violet is intent on using every trick in the book to secure her election, Mma Ramotswe refuses to promise anything beyond what she can deliver--hence her slogan: "I can't promise anything--but I shall do my best." To everyone's surprise, she wins. As it turns out, politics does not agree with Mma Ramotswe. Though everyone is supportive, she eventually resigns. She thinks there will be a new election, but she discovers that the rules state that in such an event, the runner-up automatically takes the seat. Violet is triumphant, and sure that she will get the Big Fun Hotel planning application through without a hitch. But Mma Makutsi and Mma Potokwane are not about to make it easy for her. Through it all, Mma Ramotswe uses her good humour and generosity of spirit to help the community navigate divisive issues, and proves that honesty and compassion will always carry the day."--
