The English Masterpiece by Katherine Reay
That is just the bare bones of the beginning of the story. What follows is a convoluted tale of greed, deceit and avarice for position not caring whom you destroy in protecting your own interests. How ruthless human beings can be in a cut throat business where stakes are very high. It also highlights integrity on the other side and being true to what you believe in.
The 1970s art and fashion scene are vividly described in this story.
Stories like this rich in a different era and environment add so much variety to a reader who may never get to experience such places.

Hayley Hope is Gone by Michele Dominguez Greene
Knowing she is out of her area limits and acting outside the boundaries of her mandatory leave, Emily slowly uncovers a trail of missing teenage girls, a cult fixated by their wishes to protect their own and very dangerous to outsiders.
The plot unravels slowly but Emily is not giving up. She is a voice for those girls without anyone to speak up for them. The predators seem to go for those in foster care, knowing that they are helpless.
Poignant and tense this was a good story about human trafficking, still prevalent today.

The Summer House by Lauren K. Denton

This was an enjoyable, light hearted read set in a fishing community in the Deep South in America. The setting was different and made for a nice change. The story is set on an even keel and was predictable.
