  Review - 5 out of 5 stars: I love the Lady Eleanor Swift mysteries, and Murder in Mayfair was no exception. This time, Eleanor is trying to solve a murder and a burglary at the same time. I really enjoyed being along for the ride as she frantically tries to find the truth.  Eleanor is a favourite character, I love her forthrightness and the way she never gives up. She’s also kind and compassionate. I loved the way that she, Clifford, and Hugh worked together on this case. The mysteries themselves were intriguing, and I enjoyed the way finding out new facts gradually revealed what had actually happened. And I was still surprised at the reveal!  As always, I enjoyed the historical notes at the end. Overall, this was another excellent mystery from a favourite author.  I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own.

  Review - 5 out of 5 stars: I’ve been enjoying Alex Brown’s books for a long time now, so I couldn’t wait to read Bring Me Sunshine. It didn’t disappoint - I enjoyed it so much. I loved reading about Gina’s journey, rediscovering herself. And the growing friendship between Gina, Rosie, and Deedee was wonderful to see. They’re so supportive of each other.  The characters were all well drawn, especially the three ladies. They all had distinct personalities and backgrounds. The sense of place was excellent, it made me feel like I was really on a sunny Greek Island. As well as all the above, there’s some romance too. Overall, this book was a fun and delightful escape. I recommend it. I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. Blurb: Mamma Mia meets Shirley Valentine in the brand-new holiday romance for 2024 from the International No.1 bestseller.
