The Murder of Mr. WickhamThe Murder of Mr. Wickham by Claudia Gray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this sequel to Jane Austen novels the Darcys have been married for twenty two years, and they and their son Jonathan have been invited to a house party by the Knightlys of Donwell Abbey. The other couples include the Wentworths, Brandons and Bertrams, but also seventeen year old Juliet Tilney. Unfortunately to the chagrin of some of the guests, George Wickham, unwanted and uninvited arrives and is forced by the storm to spend the night. When he is discovered dead, secrets may need to be exposed to reveal the guilty party. It is Jonathan and Juliet that aid magistrate Frank Churchill.
An entertaining well-written historical mystery, with its cast of familiar and likeable characters which I suspect no one wants any to be found guilty.
