A Dangerous Place by Jacqueline Winspear - the 11th Maisie Dobbs book. The last four years of Maisie's life are quickly dealt with in the first few pages. Let's just say things didn't go well. Now she's in Gibraltar, delaying her return to England. The Spanish Civil War is raging just across the border and Maisie finds herself involved in the murder of a photographer.

Fiercombe Manor by Kate Riordan - unmarried, naive Alice finds herself pregnant after falling in love with a married man. Since it's 1933, her mother packs her off to a house deep in the English countryside. The story alternates between Alice and Elizabeth, a woman whose tragic story Alice gradually learns. Not quite a gothic but very atmospheric.

I Bring the Fire: Part I Wolves by C. Gockel - Norse mythology is turned on it's head when Loki finds himself on earth and becomes involved with veterinary student Amy. I think I would have enjoyed this more if I knew Norse mythology. Told in the present tense, not my favorite method. This was a free Kindle book and part of a series. The rest would need to be free before I would read them.
