The Wicked Wit of Jane Austen by Dominique Enright
Only for the biggest Austen fans who also enjoy books of quotations. I expected this book to have a more intellectual analysis of her writing.

My review for Royal Fiancée Required (Harlequin Presents Kali Anthony
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The mystery in Clare Leslie Hall's Broken Country is the result of a tangled love triangle over many years. I did not guess the ending, which is always a good thing. 
My review of Broken Country
I seldom read horror but I enjoy Stephen King's other fiction. I loved Dolores Claiborne, a monologue confession by an old lady, spectacularly well narrated by Frances Sternhagen. 
My review of Dolores Claiborne
Another lovely adult fiction debut from an Irish writer.
The Boy from the Sea by Garrett Carr is the tale of a baby boy found the shore of a fishing village and the trials and tribulations of the family and community that adopts him.review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Roger Clark is the perfect narrator for Rhys Bowen's Constable Evans series. His rendition of Evanly Choirs is excellent. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
