Murder Thy Neighbor by James Patterson, et al.

 Labeled "true-crime thriller" and it is.  Two stories of murder over ridiculous reasons.  The first, co-written by Andrew Bourelle was better, a real page-turner in the style of early Patterson.  The second was very good, but not quite as compelling.

4.5 stars.

Dead to Her By Sarah Pinborough

 When Georgia blue-blood William married a black woman young enough to be his granddaughter, life in Savannah high society is turned upside down (ish).

Good characterization, will seek out more from this author, despite a few jarring plot jumps.

4 stars.

The Book that Matters Most by Ann Hood

Audio.  9.25 hours.

Read by Nina Alvamar.

 In my excitement of seeing Ann Hood's name on this audio book, I checked it out and started it without realizing I'd read it before.  Even still, it was enjoyable, although the ending was a bit saccharin.  

Local book club each chooses a book that's mattered most to them over the course of their lives.

4 stars.

Never Look Back by Mary Burton

 When one serial killer isn't enough...

Tennessee Bureau of Information agent Melina Shepard teams up with an FBI agent to track 2 killers, one with ties to Melina that are unknown to her.

Good story.  Glad the author didn't have a female lead that makes a bunch of dumb choices, although there were a few.

4 stars.
