Murder at Donwell Abbey (Emma Knightley Mysteries Book 2):
"I was delighted to return to this wonderful series that sees Emma Knightley turning into an amateur detective to solve mysterious murders. I do love Jane Austen, I do love cozy mysteries, and the author manages to create intriguing and engaging plots"

Murder at Donwell Abbey (Emma Knightley Mysteries Book 2):
"Thanks to Kensington Pub for the preview. All opinions are my own.
This was another entertaining Emma murder mystery. The tone felt a little more serious this time with an innocent maid as the victim instead of a person we love to hate. There are als" Read more of this review » |

Hi Laurel, thank you for your friend request! :)
Hi Laurel Ann! Thank you for accepting my friend request!
Just a little fun trivia here to stir the pot: I'm on Ch 12 of The Bad Miss Bennet by Jean Burnett and a name mentioned as one of the Prince Regent's mistresses is (gasp) Maria Bertram! You don't suppose....no it couldn't be.....but......perhaps (??)
thanks for sharing Jeffrey. Reassuring to know that other have worked through the problem too.
Hi Laurel Ann: You're in good company because the author at the end of this link is one of the world's most loved and prolific writers and she is also dyslexic!http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Hi Laurel, thanks for finding us!
Your book is up on goodreads!! Wahooo!!! Congratulations! So happy for you!
OK Claudia, P&P&Z is a mash-up of Austen's text with zombies thrown in. The second books is a prequel and a completely new and original story. If you like zombies and gross humor you will love them.

Claudia - I would read my reviews of each of them. It might help you make a decision.

I've just started Arabella and it's definitely enjoyable so far!"So glad you enjoyed the event Tracy. Georgette Heyer is infectious! I so admire her and want to read everything. I am debating if I should read Frederica or The Nonesuch or The Corinthian. So hard to choose. Thanks for the comment.
The Georgette Heyer month on Austenprose inspired me to finally take the jump and pick up one! I've just started Arabella and it's definitely enjoyable so far!
