The Duke's Agent by Rebecca Jenkins (A Raif Jarrett Regency Mystery Book One)
Kindle Purchase: Kindle Unlimited Free Trial
This mystery is set in England just after the Napoleonic Wars. The main character, Raif returns from them and is employed as the Duke of Penrith's agent. He soon uncovers crime, corruption, and murder. I like books set in this era featuring male protagonists similar to Poldark. Add in the mystery and I'm really hooked.
The Winter Mantle by Elizabeth Chadwick
Kindle Purchase: Free with Kindle points
First of all, what an absolutely gorgeous cover! It made me want to look into the book. Add in the reputable author and time period of the Norman conquest and I had to get it. This was a Chadwick novel I'd not heard of before. It is a stand alone, not part of a series. Set during 1067, it is about an English noble returning from battle who falls in love with William the Conqueror's niece. They are forbidden to marry and must navigate their feelings through the dangerous times. Should be a great historical read.
Murder at the Winter Gala by Rosie Hunt (A Lady Felicity Quick Mystery Book Ten)
Kindle Purchase: Free with Kindle points
I haven't started these books yet but such a gorgeous cover and I love historical Christmas cozies. I keep hearing it is a good series so I'd like to start it and I have book one. In this story Lady Felicity is planning her wedding while also solving the murder of the charity chairwomen at the village fundraiser for an orphanage. Add in a blizzard and it sounds like a great holiday/winter cozy.
