Thank heavens for our library system which seems to have almost all the books I request, and many that are new to me as well.
The It Girl was a book I saw often on blogs and social media. I joined a long waiting list at the library and finally got it.
About: April Coutts-Cliveden was the first person Hannah Jones met at Oxford.
Vivacious, bright, occasionally vicious, and the ultimate It girl, she quickly pulled Hannah into her dazzling orbit. Together, they developed a group of devoted and inseparable friends—Will, Hugh, Ryan, and Emily—during their first term. By the end of the second, April was dead.
My goodreads review: This thriller kept me riveted until the very end. I sort of guessed who the real culprit might be and I was right! The one you least expect, of course. Glad it had a happy ending for the woman who had been haunted for so many years for her evidence that convicted a man who might not have been the guilty one.
Worth reading.

Arsenic and Adobo (my review)
(Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery #1)
by
Published May 4, 2021, Berkley Books
About: The first book in a culinary cozy series full of humor and delectable dishes….
When Lila Macapagal moves back home to recover from a horrible breakup, her life seems to be following all the typical rom-com tropes. She’s tasked with saving her Tita Rosie’s failing restaurant, and she has to deal with a group of matchmaking aunties who shower her with love and judgment.
But when a notoriously nasty food critic (who happens to be her ex-boyfriend) drops dead moments after a confrontation with Lila, her life quickly swerves from a Nora Ephron romp to an Agatha Christie case.
Those are my library books, but I have a load of ebooks on my list as well, too many in fact.
