A summer house party turns into a thrilling whodunit when Jane Austen's Mr. Wickham—one of literature’s most notorious villains—meets a sudden and suspicious end in this brilliantly imagined mystery from a New York Times bestselling author featuring Austen’s leading literary characters.

“Had Jane Austen sat down to write a country house murder mystery, this is exactly the book she would have written.” —Alexander McCall Smith

The happily married Mr. Knightley and Emma are throwing a party at their country estate, bringing together distant relatives and new acquaintances—characters beloved by Jane Austen fans. Definitely not invited is Mr. Wickham, whose latest financial scheme has netted him an even broader array of enemies. As tempers flare and secrets are revealed, it’s clear that everyone would be happier if Mr. Wickham got his comeuppance. Yet they’re all shocked when Wickham turns up murdered—except, of course, for the killer hidden in their midst.

Nearly everyone at the house party is a suspect, so it falls to the party’s two youngest guests to solve the mystery: Juliet Tilney, the smart and resourceful daughter of Catherine and Henry, eager for adventure beyond Northanger Abbey; and Jonathan Darcy, the Darcys’ eldest son, whose adherence to propriety makes his father seem almost relaxed. In this tantalizing fusion of Austen and Christie, from New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray, the unlikely pair must put aside their own poor first impressions and uncover the guilty party—before an innocent person is sentenced to hang.

For any Austen fan!. A great, if fanciful, story connecting characters from all of Austen’s finished works in the year 1820. Two characters are actually the grown children of Austen’s earliest couples! Wickham is as wicked as ever, perhaps more, and has managed to ruin more lives since his turn in Pride & Prejudice. Only his death ends his perfidy. I appreciated how Austen’s couples from previous stories are shown with imperfect marriages that the characters must work on as the investigation into them all as potential murderers proceeds. A quick and enjoyable read.

Great murder mystery forJane Austen fans.. I have been in love with Mr. Darcy since Pride and Prejudice, and always hope for a sequel about his marriage to Elizabeth. At least the book gives us a glimpse, and gives us the chance to know their son, Jonathan. Not to cheer a murder, but it was gratifying to see Mr. Wickham finally get what he deserved! It was also nice to see that the murder and the aftermath brought all the couples closer together, as most were struggling in various ways. Now I just want to know if Jonathan and Juliet ever got together.

Enjoyable read.. So after many years, I have been returned to my young self’s first love of all books Austin. This is a whodunnit, based on the Austin characters, crossed with Ms. Agatha Christie “light”, It is an enjoyable mystery. The time frame puts the language and actions old fashioned. Add this to your TBR list.

Jane Austin meets murder mystery. Great easy read, with characters you know and love yet get to know more deeply as they unravel the mystery. Once you start it’s hard to put down!

Add extras stars if you’re an Austen tragic. The author contrives family or friendship ties between characters from the six completed Jane Austen novels such that they all attend a festive season house party. Those usually lasted a month in the Regency period, so she stages a cozy murder mystery a la Dame Agatha to keep them amused. The vic is the one uninvited guest—George Wickham, the closest thing to a villain in JA, who also featured in PD James’s murder mystery Austen tribute Death at Pemberley (2010), although not as the deceased. Ms Gray’s Wickham is a Georgian Bernie Madoff meaning none of the legitimate invitees lack motive to kill him. The young folk (Darcy’s kid and the Tilney gal) form an adolescent Poirot/Marple tag team and solve the case. Too many characters, too many POVs. The style starts out convincingly Austen, but becomes more Christie-like as it goes on IMO. My favourite Austen tribute remains Seth Grahame-Smith’s 2009 gem: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
