TV movie from 1994, based on the Bernard Cornwell novel of the same name.

This is the one that has Elizabeth Hurley in it (proving she can't act), and that has the second - and last - appearance of Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill, alongside the first appearance of the French spymaster Pierre Ducos.

it's also no as polished as the previous entry in the series, with the shocking moment towards the end failing to really hit home, and with the entire thing feeling, maybe, half an hour longer than it needed to be.

There's one of the later Sharpe books, where Cornwell has Harper (basically) say something along the lines of:

"Me? I went through the whole war with hardly a scratch. Major Sharpe, though, he's a different matter: he's always getting himself wounded"

This is the tale with the most sever of those wounds, when Sharpe is severely wounded by the French Colonel Leroux (who is on the hunt for Wellingtons spymaster) and is himself near death for a bit.

It's Sharpe though.

The one time that Sean Bean doesn't die!

An immersive historical fiction novel set in India. Loot by Tania James begins in Mysore in the 1790s, and a young woodcarver called Abbas is summoned to the palace of Tipu Sultan to help a French clockmaker, Lucien du Leze build a clockwork tiger.

And so starts a series of events that will see the end of Tipu Sultans reign, Abbas’ journey to France and his subsequent quest to find and recover the tiger for himself. It’s a tale full of adventure, danger and romance. I really enjoyed it!

Dr. Freida Klein is a psychotherapist and a "consultant" with the London police. She is helping the police solve the murder of Robert Poole, whose body was found in the apartment of a mentally unstable woman, Michelle Doyce. The police are ready to close the case. With Michelle unfit to stand trial, she will spend her time in a mental institution....Case Closed! But Freida saw past all that into something much more. Putting her life on the line and confronting witnesses without the help of the police, are just part of what makes up Dr. Klein. And, you'll never guess who did it. The book had me on the edge of my seat from page one.

Can't wait to read more in this series and really bummed that I didn't read [b:Blue Monday|10940958|Blue Monday (Frieda Klein, #1)|Nicci French|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327188223s/10940958.jpg|15858219] first, but it has been add to my "To Read" list.

The part about this book that made me give it five stars is that it had me from the beginning and it was hard to figure out who the killer was. Too many people had a motive. Nicci French did a really amazing job of keeping the suspense.
