Overview

A Jane Austen-inspired mystery, set in the world of Pride and Prejudice and Emma. When political chaos in London forces Mary Bennet to take refuge in the picturesque town of Highbury, Surrey, she quickly finds herself safe among friends. Emma Woodhouse welcomes her as a guest at Hartfield, Jane Fairfax is delighted by her love of music, and Frank Churchill can't stop flirting with her. But it is not long before Mary starts to suspect that beneath the charming surface, Highbury hides some dark secrets. Alexander Lyons is sent to Surrey on an investigation, and at his friend Darcy's request heads to Highbury to make certain Mary is comfortable and safe. But no sooner does he arrive than one local man dies, and then another! Soon Alexander and Mary are thrust into the middle of a baffling series of deaths. Are they accidents? Or is there a very clever murderer hiding in their midst? And can they put their personal differences aside in time to prevent yet another death in Highbury? This is a full-length historical mystery of about 90,000 words.

This delightful Regency mystery so perfectly depicts the era and the tone of the early 19th century, and in using Jane Austen's characters, I could almost believe Austen had written the story.... Readers will find it exciting, as I did, and will be highly pleased with the way the mystery was solved and additional lives were saved. I will look forward to more Mary Bennet and Alexander Lyons mysteries. Celia Martin, author I really do want to see Alexander and Mary get together before the end of this series. They could be a husband and wife mystery-solving team. This book is great and I recommend reading it especially if you've read the first one and enjoyed it. A Novel Sentiment, book review blog
