A wonderful, sweet and proper Regency Romance

Lakeshire Park (Proper Romance)

By: Megan Walker

Rating: 5 of 5

It’s been years since I read a new sweet and, yes, proper Regency Romance. Many that call themselves Regencies today include graphic and/or explicit sexual scenes.

That is not the case with Lakeshire Park. The story is the key in this book. The story is about two individuals in particular. Amelia Moore and Mr. Peter Wood are the heroine and hero of this story.

Amelia is trying to promote a marriage between her sister Clara and Sir Ronald. It is imperative that it happen soon as the two sisters (unbeknownst to Clara) have fairly well been cast off by their dying and truly unlikeable stepfather.

Another great story in this whodunnit series

One Fatal Flaw: A Daniel Pitt Novel

By: Anne Perry

Rating: 5 of 5

I have read all three books in this new series and have enjoyed every single one of them. This latest book “One Fatal Flaw”, is my favorite thus far.

Two things I really appreciate about this book are: 1) the focus on Miriam fford Croft and 2) the focus on the emerging science of forensics.

Miriam has become a comrade-at-arms with Daniel Pitt. He is a lawyer who was been called on to defend an individual who appears to be guilty of murder. He is convinced by a young woman to take the case on at no cost.

A wonderful read with a great mystery that spans decades

Hid from Our Eyes: A Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne Mystery (Fergusson/Van Alstyne Mysteries)

By: Julia Spencer-Fleming

Rating: 5 of 5

This is the first book in this series that I have read. I have already purchased the first book to go back and understand who the characters ended up where they are now.

Even though it is ninth entry, it can be read-alone and you won’t miss any of the action due to lack of understanding. The author deftly brings in elements from prior books without giving anything away that would spoil reading those books.
