THE LATE MRS. WILLOUGHBY Murder of Mr. Wickham, Book 2

From Billie Fulford-Brown's first words, Jane Austen's world bursts into life. Characters from across the Austen spectrum populate this sequel to Gray's earlier mystery, THE MURDER OF MR. WICKHAM. This time, Jonathan Darcy, son of Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy (PRIDE AND PREJUDICE), and Juliet Tilney, daughter of Henry and Catherine Tilney (NORTHANGER ABBEY), find themselves guests at another house party. Another house party, another murder? The guests include John Willoughby and his new wife and Colonel Brandon and his wife, Marianne, Willoughby's former love. Fulford-Brown perfectly sets the period with her beautiful, precise diction and sparkling intonations. When Mrs. Willoughby is poisoned, John and Juliet are on the case. Scintillating dialogue, superb plotting, and a wonderfully engaging performance? Who could ask for more? S.J.H.
