You may know Catriona McPherson’s name from her Dandy Gilver mystery series (entertaining and comical with excellent plots; highly recommend), as did I before reading In Place of Fear. Now I have a totally different novel and heroine to attribute to her, and they were just as excellent. As far as a standalone mystery goes,ContinueContinue reading “In Place of Fear – Catriona McPherson”

The Letter from Briarton Park – Sarah E Ladd

Kingscastle – Sophia Holloway
3/5 Stars Kingscastle by Sophia Holloway is a standalone romance novel, but I found it engaging and it wrapped up satisfactorily for me. I chose this novel off of NetGalley, and thought, by the description, that it might fit into the romantic suspense genre rather than romance. I feel that it wasn’t very suspenseful, butContinueContinue reading “Kingscastle – Sophia Holloway”
The Ghost of Glendale – Natalie Kleinman
I initially picked up The Ghost of Glendale from NetGalley as I was intrigued by a ghost aspect in addition to a romance plot. Despite its 4-star average, I’d give this novel a three out of five-star rating, and that’s being a bit generous. I received a free copy of this book in return forContinueContinue reading “The Ghost of Glendale – Natalie Kleinman”
