My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While working at the school in Affacombe Priory Sister Roach disappears and later a body is discovered. The local police investigate but are unable to discover the guilty party. Therefore they call in Scotland Yard to Affacombe village.
A slow paced mystery set and written in the 1960's where Pollard and Toye don't appear to half way through the book.
An enjoyable story that kept me interested with its plot and characters.

Claire Fitzpatrick returns to Rose Hill after working for the actress from hell to visit her family. At the same time a dead body is discovered and it is someone she knows. With Police Chief Scott Gordon occupied with his dying mother, who will Claire rely on to prove her innocence.

Mercy's Embrace (Elizabeth Elliot's Story - The Lady Must Decide #3)Mercy's Embrace by Laura Hile
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This Persuasion sequel and Elizabeth Elliot's story continues and concludes. So will she have a happy ending, and who will she marry, if anyone. And what about Lady Russell and her solution to Sir Walter's debts.
Thoroughly enjoyable well-written story. I didn't think anyone could portray Elizabeth as a likeable character, and to feel sorry for her, but it happened. Though I defer anybody to make Mary Musgrove appealing.

Lady Catherine's Lover (Longbourn, #9)Lady Catherine's Lover by Margaret Lynette Sharp
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In this Pride and Prejudice short story sequel it seems that Lady Catherine has a lover but is he all that he seems. Darcy refuses to leave Elizabeth (as she is near to giving birth) to meet this gentleman, on the orders of Lady Catherine. I felt that the story could have been longer and I wanted it to be longer, and it seemed to end quite abruptly.
But overall an enjoyable quick read

Longbourn's Lark: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (A Convenient Marriage Book 1)Longbourn's Lark: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Meg Osborne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Colonel Fitzwilliam gets lost on his way to Netherfield, he arrives at Longbourn, to ask directions. He is invited to tea by Mr. Bennet and Mary. Into the mix we have Mr. Collins. Is there a happy ending for any of the visitors to Hertfordshire. The first of six novellas.
Felt a need to read a sweet romance between my favourite JAFF couple - the Colonel and Mary Bennet - so I re-read this novella and as I still enjoyed the story it gets 5 stars.

Rose Hill, not the pleasant place everybody thinks especially when another body is found, and the link to drugs. Made more complicated when the FBI get involved. The story of how it seems everybodys' lives are affected.

In this Persuasion sequel (Book 2) Elizabeth Elliot's problems continue. Having fallen for poor Patrick Gill can she give up Mr. Rushworth and his fortune even if he is getting a divorce. With Sir Walter's debt mounting what can be done. And what are Lady Russell's plans

A Murder By Any Name: An Elizabethan Spy MysteryA Murder By Any Name: An Elizabethan Spy Mystery by Suzanne M. Wolfe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Set in 1585 at the court of Elizabeth 1 Nicholas Holt, spy and the younger brother of the Earl of Blackwell, is given the task of discovering the murderer of one of the Queen's ladies-in-waiting. But this is just the start.
A very enjoyable well-written mystery and the story is certainly helped by its likeable characters. A good solid start to what I presume will be a series. Setting the scene of Elizabethan England well.

In at the Death (Mordecai Tremaine Mystery)In at the Death by Francis Duncan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When the body of a doctor is discovered in the town of Bridgton, the local police call in Scotland Yard and Chief Inspector Jonathan Boyce. Amateur detective and friend Mordecai Tremaine has permission to travel with Boyce and become involved in the inquiry.
I enjoyed this well-written mystery and liked the style of writing. The author did provide clues so that it was possibly to find the guilty party. The two main characters are interesting ones, and I may prefer Boyce to Tremaine.
Originally written in 1952 before all the modern forensics were available to the police force.

In this Pride and Prejudice short story Mts Bennet dies while Mr Bennet is visiting Pemberley and it's left to Mary to take charge.
Although this has 'The End' at the finish it reads as incomplete. So three stars for the start of the story which looks like it will not be finished

When Great Barwick’s most unpopular person, Henry Cargate, dies on a train, probably murdered, no-one seems concerned. But to the police it must be investigated. So who of the possible suspects is on trial
I did find Prosecutor Blayton part of the narrative somewhat turgid and made the story drag at that point but it did pick up. Overall an enjoyable read.

Murder on Millionaires' RowMurder on Millionaires' Row by Erin Lindsey
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Nineteen year old house maid Rose Gallagher works for Thomas Wiltshire, businessman in 1886 New York. When he disappears she decides to investigate.
I didn't really take to the characters and when it turned into more of a paranormal story than a straightforward murder mystery I did lose interest. It just is not my sort of story though I suspect other readers will enjoy the book.

Dark Queen RisingDark Queen Rising by Paul Doherty
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This new series starts with the Battle of Tewkesbury during the War of the Roses, and the machinations of Margaret Beaufort with her two henchman Reginald Bray and Christopher Urswick. In which Urswick is instructed by George of Clarence to find the guilty party in the deaths of four of his retainers
Unfortunately this first 60% of the book was historical fiction. (When I have wanted to read about this time period I have read history books.) So the first half was a struggle to get through, and then the mystery occurred. Basically a locked room scenario. Then the story became more interesting as did the characters. If this series develops as a mystery series (which is what the book was described as) then I could be tempted to read more.

Lydia Bennet's Story: A Sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and PrejudiceLydia Bennet's Story: A Sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice by Jane Odiwe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this story we see Pride and Prejudice from Lydias's eyes, her acts and thoughts. Which then continue with her life after with Wickham. With this story we have the introduction of quite a few new characters which are very welcome.
I have not been a fan of Lydia (she and Kitty are much too silly for me) but you can certainly start to feel sorry for this Lydia.
A well-written and enjoyable story.

When you are convinced that your sister was killed by a serial killer then joining a group of them who want to stop killing is the first step to find him. But how do you get an invite. Can killers truly stop.

Becoming Sir Thomas - sequel to Mansfield ParkBecoming Sir Thomas - sequel to Mansfield Park by C.D. Gerard
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

It is now 1817 and so who will the new Sir Thomas offer marriage to. Susan Price his cousin and the lady he loves, or the lady with enough money to save Mansfield Park from ruin, Mary Crawford. Selling off the sugar plantation in Antiqua is ethically right but would lead to financial ruin.
The story was all right and it was an easy read.
Though I didn't think they had elephants in Antiqua, and slave emancipation arrived in England in 1772 so Mansfield Park would probably not have had any slaves even in the old Sir Thomas' time.

What could be the possible motive to kill old Meldon girl Beatrice Baynes. Chief Detective Inspector Pollard and Detective Sergeant Toye are send from Scotland Yard to find the answer.
This is the first book (published in 1967) of this police procedural series.
