Murder at Rosings by Joann Louise

Murder at Rosings by Joann Louise


If you can get past some very iffy grammar and my personal pet hate words like critters instead of creatures, also there are no Vultures in England, not now and not 200 years ago. It would be far better to have had the aptly named "murder of crows" sharing the where abouts of the victim.

OK rant over. 

There is plenty to entertain:

Lady Catherine by her mismanagement and overbearing personality has set the scene for the disasters that befell Rosings Park. 
Unfortunately Elizabeth Bennet gets mixed up in the murder plots and comes face to face with the murderer.

Once he knows she has seen his face her life is in mortal danger.

Thank goodness then that Mr Darcy will move Heaven and Earth to protect his Elizabeth.
And, that's not going to be an easy job as the body count rises.

Whilst dealing with the terrible situation at Rosings Park he is not let off  the hook from sorting out Lydia and Wykham. The poor man is harried from all sides but being Fitzwilliam Darcy was never going to be easy and he is the hero of the day when the tale brings him between the killers knife and Elizabeth.

This is the first Murder mystery set at Rosings That I have read, it makes a change from Pemberley.

The Truth About Mr Darcy by Susan Adriani


The Truth About Mr Darcy by Susan Adriani

Theres Never A Perfect Time...   To Bare Your Soul...

What a romantic book.

This Mr Darcy is tender, caring, articulate and he just can’t keep his hands off Elizabeth.

In this what if? story, Darcy does not ride away when he comes upon Elizabeth Bennet’s first meeting with George Wickham. Instead he takes the time to inform her of Mr Wickham’s less than pleasant past.

Indeed the wickham in this story is even darker with a crueler and almost twisted psycho feel about him.

So how does the story unfold now?

Pick up this book, it is a very good read.

Mrs Bennet, Caroline and Lydia are all still truly grating, you could happily knock all their heads together and Mr Collins is truly awful in this version and as I said Wickham is horrible and quite scary.

Elizabeth and Darcy are so totally infatuated with each other that some of the pages in this book positively sizzle. Now if this book called itself Wild and Wanton, I would have no complaints at all.

Susan Adriani has managed to write the Darcy that we would all love to be married to. Or have a wild passionate fling with at the very least (I’m rather attached to my hubby!)

Now for a little warning, The Turth About Mr Darcy was originally published as Affinity and Affection so don’t do what I did and buy both!
