Patricia Gulley's review of The Highbury Murders: A Mystery Set in the Village of Jane Austen's Emma:
"
An absolutely wonderful read, enjoyed it tremendously. A cozy mystery wrapped in the Jane Austen story of Emma. Many changes to the familiar characters. Very highly recommended to both mystery lovers and Janites.

I just saw the amazing review of Tapestry of Bronze by Steve Donoghue at THNS: http://historicalnovelsociety.org/rev...Congrats to both of you.
How nice of you to mention it! Yes, we were thrilled with SD's review of the trilogy - just as we were with yours. Both of you seemed to experience what we wanted our readers to experience.
BTW, they make good presents for this holiday season! Or any time during the year!
