The Intrigue at Highbury: Or, Emma's Match (Mr. & Mrs. Darcy Mysteries)
Bebris’ fifth Mr. and Mrs. Darcy mystery brings together two of Jane Austen’s most beloved heroines: Elizabeth from Pride & Prejudice, and the delightful Emma, now happily married to Mr. Knightley. Elizabeth and Darcy are on their way to see Darcy’s cousin when they come across a young woman apparently in distress, but who, instead, proves to be setting a trap so that highwaymen can rob their carriage. Determined to recover the stolen possessions, the Darcys make their way to Highbury, where the Knightleys are hosting a wedding celebration for Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax, and grappling with their own problem: Frank’s guardian, Edgar, has fallen ill and died at the celebratory dinner, and the local doctor suspects he was poisoned. Knightley agrees to seek out the highwaymen who robbed Darcy, if Darcy will investigate Edgar’s death. Of the many writers dabbling in the world of Austen’s novels, Bebris is one of the best, and readers will be thoroughly hooked by her latest whodunit. --Kristine Huntley
