Unnatural Causes – P.D. James
British police procedural. Some would say James’s style is slow and meandering, but I find it rather meditative.

Second-chance romantic mystery with a ‘mountain man’ hero and his adorable dog. He becomes a suspect in his ex’s latest investigation. Great descriptions of Glacier National Park and interesting characters.
