Oct 10, 2017 (Updated Oct 11, 2017)
Rather formulaic period novel
Another period tale of a woman with little power. She seems to run from one man to another in order for survival.
Connie Reid marries Clifford Chatterley, the scion of an aristocratic line. After a month's honeymoon, he is sent to war, and returns paralysed from the waist down, impotent. She becomes increasingly isolated after he husband becomes more and more frustrated with his disability. At which point she becomes acquainted with - wait for it - the groundskeeper/gardener. They have a tumultuous love affair as a result.
I think this was rather generic and typical of novels at the time such as Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary. Expect affairs and dramatic leading ladies.

Yet another gripping read by Helen Fields and one I very much enjoyed
It has everything - a gruesome murder, an isolated creepy location, serial killers, twists, turns, action and fantastic characters all wrapped up in an excellent story that was hard to stop reading even the parts that were quite gruesome.
Dr Connie and her partner, Baarda, are a great team and I would really like to read more about their work together - if there are more stories in the pipeline ... sign me up!
A very tense and riveting read that I highly recommend and thank you Avon Books UK and NetGalley for enabling be to read and share my thoughts of The Institution.
