A couple of books have gotten my attention this past week, especially with a new round of ER books being posted on LibraryThing.
The Piano Teacher, by Janice Y.K. Lee. Historical fiction set in 1940s and ‘50s Hong Kong , about a woman who finds work giving piano lessons (click here for a glimpse of the gorgeous cover art).
Drood, by Dan Simmons. Novel about Charles Dickens, “narrated” by Wilkie Collins, about Dickens’s last days and his last, unfinished novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
Execution Dock, by Anne Perry. The latest in the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series, to be published in March.
Lydia Bennet’s Story, by Jane Odiwe. Essentially, a continuation of Pride and Prejudice, told from the point of view of the youngest, most wayward sister. Won this in a contest.

I requested all of these that you mention, but I'd be super excited if I got Drood.
The Woman in White is the only Wilkie Collins book I've read, but it was really good.
I no longer keep up with the Charlotte & Thomas Pitt series. My favorites were the William Monk & Hester novels. I need to get back to both series.
That is beautiful cover art for The Piano Teacher.
Lydia Bennet's Story sounds like a fun read.
