Drawing from the classic Sense and Sensibility, Tracy Kiely continues the adventures of Elizabeth Parker, the likable Austen-quoting sleuth, in this witty and charming series.
Elizabeth Parker suspected that fulfilling her duties as maid-of-honor for her best friend, Bridget, was going to be murder. And no sooner is the last grain of rice thrown thanshe finds herself staring into the dead eyes of Bridgets Aunt Roni, a woman whose death is almost as universally celebrated as Bridgets nuptials. The horror only increases when Harry, Bridgets cousin, becomes the chief suspect. The idea is ludicrous to the family, because Harry is one of the kindest, most compassionate people imaginable.To complicate matters, Elizabethsboyfriend, Peter, appears to be falling for an old flame, a gorgeous weddingplanner. Determined to clear Harry of the crime, reign in Bridgets impulsive brand of sleuthing, andfigure out where Peters heart lies, Elizabeth sets her mind to work.
Tracy Kiely has again brilliantly combined the wit and spunk of Austens protagonistswith acontemporary, traditional mystery. With a vibrant cast of characters, the lush setting of a Virginia estate, and irresistible humor, she delivers on all counts.
