Third in StarDoc series.  I went out to Amazon used books and got the whole series, so I'm going through them rapidly.  This starts directly after Beyond Varallan, with our heroine captured by the Hsktskt.  I am finding Cherijo less than admirable -- she jumps to conclusions about people and is very unforgiving.

Fourth in White House Chef series.  I do like series.  A new family has moved into the White House, and Ollie is uncertain whether she will keep her job.  Complications ensue, with the new First Family bringing their own chef, who is a major jerk.  There are now children in the First Family and they are the cause of the suspense in the story.

First in Mary Russell series.  Very different from her other series.  Mary Russell, 16 year old heiress, while wandering the countryside while escaping her odious aunt and guardian, encounters Sherlock Holmes who has retired to the country with Mrs. Hudson (but not Dr. Watson).  She becomes his apprentice and eventually partner.

Sixth in StarDoc Series.
Very confusing.  Cherijo has crashed on an ice world, after various adventures is rescued by Reever, but has changed personalities and is now Jarn.

Kris Longknife: Intrepid
2/2/11
Sixth in series
Series reminds me of Honor Harrington (Weber) and Lt. Leary.  Kris is Navy officer and daughter of political head, granddaughter of elected King.  She and her various companions participate in a planetary war in the boondocks, uncover a plot to assassinate the rival political boss to be blamed on her, save him, and extricate themselves from the resulting mess.
These books are very easy and enjoyable to read.
