The sunset years of Agnes Sharp / by Swann, Leonie,1975-author.; Bojang, Amy,translator.; translation of:Swann, Leonie,1975-Mord in Sunset Hall.English.;
"It has been an eventful morning for Agnes Sharp and the other inhabitants of Sunset Hall, a communal home for the old and unruly in the sleepy English countryside. Although they have had their share of issues (misplaced reading glasses, conflicting culinary tastes, mobility issues, and unruly grandsons), nothing prepares them for an unexpected visit from a police officer with some shocking news. The body of one of their neighbors was discovered earlier that morning on the lawn. The members of the house put on long faces when the officer begins asking questions, but they are secretly relieved the body in question is not the one they're currently hiding in the shed (sorry, Lillith). After holding an emergency house meeting, they decide that the answer to their little problem with Lillith may have fallen right into their lap. All they have to do is find out who murdered their neighbor, so they can pin Lillith's death on them, thus killing two (old) birds with one stone (cold killer). With their plan sorted, Agnes and her geriatric gang spring into action. After all, everybody likes a good mystery. Besides, the more suspicion they can cast about, surely the less will land on them. To investigate, they will have to leave their comfort zone and journey into the quaint village of Duck End and all around town as they tangle with sinister bakers, broken stairlifts, inept criminals, local authorities, and their own dark secrets"--

Untouchable / by Lawson, Michael,1948-author.;
"Brandon Cartwright was a rich guy worth a couple billion bucks-inherited, of course-meaning he hadn't worked a day in his life. But he sure knew how to party, and the people he partied with were all sorts of rich and famous: politicians and movie stars and British royalty and Russian oligarchs. So, when Brendan Cartwright is executed in his own home, no one is surprised to learn he had enemies. But when former Speaker of the House John Mahoney emerges from a clandestine meeting with evidence that suggests that the president of the United States somehow was involved with Cartwright's death, he needs someone who can investigate from the shadows. Naturally, he puts Joe DeMarco on the case. Joe DeMarco is no stranger to hunting down some of the very worst people Washington, DC, has to offer. In fact, he's made a career of it. But as evidence continues to point towards the president, DeMarco is faced with an impossible situation: investigating a man who is quite literally untouchable"--
