The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager. Casey Fletcher, a recently widowed actress trying to escape a streak of bad press, has retreated to the peace and quiet of her family’s lake house in Vermont. Armed with a pair of binoculars and several bottles of bourbon, she passes the time watching Tom and Katherine Royce, the glamorous couple living across the lake. One day on the lake, Casey saves Katherine from drowning, and the two strike up a budding friendship. But the more they get to know each other, and the longer Casey watches, the more it becomes clear that Katherine and Tom’s marriage isn’t as perfect as it appears. When Katherine suddenly vanishes, Casey immediately suspects Tom of foul play. What she doesn’t realize is that there’s more to this story than meets the eye, and that shocking secrets can lurk beneath the most placid of surfaces.
To Marry and to Meddle by Martha Waters. Lady Emily Turner has been a debutante for six seasons now and should have long settled into a suitable marriage. However, due to her father’s debts, her only suitor is the persistent and odious owner of her father’s favorite gambling house.

Julian hatches a plan to benefit them both. This is book three in the Regency Vows series, all available at the library, and perfect for fans of Bridgerton.
The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post by Allison Pataki. Growing up in the modest farmlands of Battle Creek, Michigan, Marjorie was inspired by a few simple rules: always think for yourself, never take success for granted, and work hard. Marjory had an insatiable drive to live and love and to give more than she got. From crawling through Moscow warehouses to rescue the tsar’s treasures to outrunning the Nazis in London, from serving the homeless of the Great Depression to entertaining Roosevelts, Kennedys, and Hollywood’s biggest stars, Marjorie Merriweather Post lived an epic life few could imagine.
