kitmerlot_1213I just finished this pretty cool book called The Intrigue at Highbury, and if you think the title sounds kind of Jane Austen-esque, you would be correct.
The author, Carrie Bebris, has created a series called the Mr. and Mrs. Darcy Mysteries and they are rather clever in that she has Elizabeth and Darcy meeting up with other characters in Austen's other books and solving crimes.
In The Intrigue at Highbury, Elizabeth and Darcy meet Emma and Mr. Knightley and they have to solve a murder involving Frank Churchill, Jane Fairfax Churchill and even Miss Bates! Carrie Bebris does very well with the characters, keeping them very much as Jane Austen created them and her dialog is also pretty spot on, and the mystery was rather compelling.
I an definitely going to continue reading the rest of the books in the series,
