Book 1 in the Mr. Darcy & Miss Tilney series.
Mr. and Mrs. Knightley have invited a house full of guests for a month long summer party at their home of Donwell Abbey. But the festive spirit is soon shattered by the arrival of the hated Mr. Wickham. When he is found dead, it is obvious to Jonathan Darcy that the murderer must be a member of the summer party. His fellow houseguest Miss Juliet Tilney is of the same opinion, and the two young people agree to investigate together. But almost all of the summer party guests have a motive for killing Mr. Wickham, including Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy, Jonathan’s parents.
The suspects who all have motive and opportunity are all married couples, and the murder investigation acts as a window into five different marriages. The Knightleys, The Darcys, The Brandons, the Wentworths and the Bertrams all have their own differences and secrets, and the murder of Mr. Wickham is not the only problem the summer guests are struggling with.
A fun and engaging story with lots of suspects, Regency era drama and romance and two very likeable young amateur sleuths.
