In this Pride and Prejudice variation, because of an accident on Pemberly grounds Elizabeth is forced to stay, and Kitty comes to join her and stays as one of the Twins. There are three different and separate pov - Darcy, Catherine Bennet and Georgiana Darcy. A story of Kitty and Georgiana with the perfect Elizabeth. Unfortunately no bad characters like Caroline Bingley.<br />An enjoyable story.

In this Pride and Prejudice variation Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect female specimen, there is not a subject that she is not vastly proficient in as we keep getting told. Martin Bennet is the heir to Longbourn and father to Jane. Thomas is a professor and educates Elizabeth. Later she passes some of her knowledge on to Mary.<br />Overall an enjoyable vairation as it does have the right pairing for Mary.

This Pride and Prejudice variation begins after the Hunsford proposal and the perfect Elizabeth is offered a teaching post in America. Kitty us not far behind in the perfection stakes. How will this affect their marriage prospects and those of their sisters.<br />An enjoyable read.

1868. On return from an archaeological dig in Egypt, the expedition leader's body is discovered inside a sarcophagus. Time of death indicates he was killed on board cargo ship the Sea Witch, with its limited number of passengers. D.I. Daniel Haze now of Scotland Yard requests the help of Jason Redmond in his investigation.<br />An entertaining and well-written historical mystery with its likeable main characters. Another good addition to this enjoyable series.

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6317204067">3 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
A Pride and Prejudice variation where Collins has died and there are no more male heirs. Elizabeth is just too perfect, with all her accomplishments, her connections and heiress of Longbourn, gets tedious and you want to read more about the other characters. Kitty was also getting o be perfect.<br />Overall an enjoyable story.

1883 Cook Kat Holloway's friend Samuel Millburn has been accused of embezzlement of his employer's funds, the Daalman Bank, and the murder of one of their bankers, and has consequently been arrested. Kat believes in his innocence and investigates with the help of her friends.<br />An entertaining and well-written historical mystery with its cast of likeable and varied characters. Another good addition to this enjoyable series.<br />An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A Pride and Prejudice variation that begins with the Hunsford proposal but no letter. Elizabeth leaves to spend several months with the Gardiners while meeting the Darcys. It only after the half way point that Elizabeth joins the Bennets at Longbourn. Then for me the story gets more interesting.<br />An entertaining story

In this Pride and Prejudice variation a year after meddling aunts have introduced Darcy and Elizabeth at Pemberley, Elizabeth is back in the area as the new owner of Meadowbrook Estate. She is accompanied by Mary and Kitty. What does the future hold for all the Bennet daughters. Though Elizabeth is a bit of Mary Sue character, just so perfect.<br />An entertaining variation

New York. 1893. A series of deaths involving young girls is finally classed as murder, but by whom, why and how. While Detective Agenti and Finlay Jameson investigate they also have to content with gang warfare between the Irish and Italian gangs.<br />An entertaining historical mystery with its likeable characters
