The Cursed Divination by Lana Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mrs Mary Nettle contacts Amelia Greystone as she has had visions of a body. This is only the first.
Inspector fields Investigates though it is quite obvious who the guilty party is.
Overall an enjoyable historical mystery
(Amelia is now becoming just too annoying. I prefer straight mysteries without the romance)

Elizabeth Bennet's Gallant Suitor: A Pride and Prejudice Vagary by Regina Jeffers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this Pride and Prejudice variation can Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy prevent the arranged marriage instigated by Sir Wesley Belwood between his nephew Colonel Fitzwilliam and his granddaughter Jane Belwood previously known as Bennet. A daughter from Mrs Bennet's first marriage. Do either Jane and the Colonel want the marriage or are there other options.
An entertaining and well-written story which thankfully other Bennet daughters stories were also told not just Elizabeth's. Though I would have prefered more time spent with Mary and possibly Jane.
A re-read. Again
