The Tilt by excellent Aussie author Chris Hammer is the second in this rural mystery series, but it would be just as good as a standalone. Homicide detectives in small towns are up against generations of feuds and loyalties.

My review of The Tilt
Charles Dickens is known for many things, but this spooky story about a railroad worker seems different to me. The Signal-Man could easily have been a Twilight Zone episode.

Just finished - State of Fear - Tim Ayliffe - AA #2 in the John Bailey series. Topical storyline, fundamentalist terrorism, and switching between London and Sydney.
I seem to be a bit out of sync on the first 2 books in this series, my ratings well below average. I did audio for each, and have had trouble "connecting" to the characters. I have the 3rd book in a later challenge this year, so might go for the book rather than audio, see if that makes a difference.
★★★☆

I read #4 on my kindle Kerri, and although I hadn't read the first 3 and I no trouble connecting. It could be the audio.. good luck when you read your next one :)

The Spy Coast, by Tess Gerritsen, is a new ensemble piece about five spies who have tried to retire quietly to a small town but discover it's not that easy. The author was inspired by real life circumstances near her, which made it even more interesting to me.

The everyday conflicts and surprises of the people who live in the apartments at 44 Scotland Street. Colorful characters, light and humorous.
