In this Sense and Sensibility sequel, three years have passed since the marriage of Colonel Brandon and Marianne Dashwood. She finds his kindness oppressive, and decides the only solution is to kill him. Mature content.<br />An entertaining story.

One of the actors in the local pantomime is found dead, murdered. There would seem to be quite a few suspects as he was an unlikeable character. But will he be the only victim. DCI Matt Lambert and his team investigate helped by ex-police officer Fabia Havard.<br />An entertaining and well-written modern mystery. Another good addition to this enjoyable series.

In this Pride and Prejudice variation, Jane is in London and Elizabeth has travelled to Hunsford earlier then planned, with Mary. But Elizabeth has a secret - she can see and hear the fae as can Mrs Bennet <br /> but they react to them in different ways. How will this affect her future.<br />An entertaining and well-written story.

In this Pride and Prejudice variation Mr Bennet has married three times, the second produced his estranged son Thomas, a curate, and the third his five daughters. <br />Will any of them marry, and be happy especially as some have only known each other for a short time.<br />An entertaining novella (4 stars because I like the pairing of Mary Bennet).

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6356584198">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
In this Pride and Prejudice variation, at Netherfield, Darcy at his worst, though Bingley is not his usuall amiable self. As they face the local 'savages' unknown that a future Duchess, Elizabeth (a Mary Sue character), resides at Longbourn. How will they all react in the future.<br />(Skipped most of Lizzy time in Devonshire learning whatever it was to learn. Felt that a lot of Elizabeth's background and upbringing among the caring Bennets could have summed up in a couple of paragraphs. Too much of the balls in London, just overly long.)<br />(4 stars because I liked Mary's pairing though would have liked more about that.)<br />Overall an enjoyable story.

In this Pride and Prejudice variation Elizabeth Bennet meets the Darcys at an Inn while travelling with the Gardiners. An inauspicious meeting. Later she meets him as he is groomsman for Jane and Bingley (something wrong with their marriage). Later Darcy is arrested for fraud and of course she is the only one who tries to save him as the Colonel is in France.<br />An entertaining story.

In this Pride and Prejudice variation the Netherfield ball is over and the party left to go to London, but Darcy travels to Pemberley. It seems the country is suffering from a bad winter, and Bennet is in poor health. But has Caroline Bingley been finally accepted by the ton. Happy ending may happen.<br />An entertaining and well-written story

It all starts with the death of June Bennett, owner of multiple companies and dress shop Look Good. She is found hanged, dressed in 1930s clothes. Then another body is discovered. Is there a connection between the two people, and what could be the motive for either of the deaths.<br />D.I. Drake and his team investigate.<br />An entertaining and well-written modern mystery with its likeable main character supported by a cast of varied personalities. Another good addition to this enjoyable series.<br />I received a free copy of this book from the author via BooksFunnel and am voluntarily leaving a review.
