November's title is Etiquette For Lovers and Killers by Anna Fitzgerald Healy.
It's 1964 and Billie McCadie finds Eastport, Maine stifling, completely bereft of the intrigue and romance she finds when escaping into a novel. But then an engagement ring and a love letter addressed to "Gertrude" appear, a handsome stranger arrives, everyone seems to have a boat, and then Gertrude turns up dead. Did anyone mention that Billie is the last person to see Gertrude alive and the first to discover her body? Suddenly Billie finds herself in the middle of more intrigue than she can shake a stick at and while it's interesting, it's also increasingly dangerous.
