Match for Mary Bennet: Can a serious young lady ever find her way to love? by Eucharista Ward
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Pride and Prejudice sequel which concentrates on Mary Bennet, though the lives of other Bennets are included. I admit that Mary, with the Colonel, are my two favourite characters. This story is where Mary learns of her mistakes concerning her family and spends her time mainly with her two older sisters at their estates. I enjoyed reading about these, and the new characters added to the story. I found the style of writing very easy to read, and look forward to reading the book again.

When Detective David Cole is injured in the line of duty he goes back to his home town to rest. Just in time for a series of murders to occur committed by the 'Crucifier.'
An interesting read, plenty of murders especially for such a short book. And I didn't guess the killer.

The Earl's Betrothal by Karen Tuft
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you enjoy Regency romances then this is a book for you. Captain Lord Anthony Hargreaves arrives home from the war in Spain, and is instructed to marry by his father so that their inheritance will be passed on to their next generation.
But what of Amelia Clarke, his mother’s companion, and his attraction to her. Can there be a happy ending for everyone.
Really enjoyed this story, (though not really a fan of straight romances as I prefer a lot of mystery in my books), really liked the characters and thought it was well written.

Bretherton: Khaki or Field-Grey? by W F Morris
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So what so the truth of Bretherton, was he an English soldier or a German officer, during the Great war. This is his story as told by him, and the story from others viewpoints.
An interesting thriller, told from the beginning of the war up until the last day, with its descriptions of the conditions of the war.

Malevolent by E.H. Reinhard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In Tampa, Homicide Lieutenant Carl Kane day has started in a bad way when he is informed that a body of a female has been found. When another body is found, the question is asked do they have a serial killer in the area.
I enjoyed the stories, and felt the characters of the police were well developed, there were a couple of parts that I thought were a bit gruesome but I quickly read through those. I expect I will read the next to see how the characters are developed.
