Love and Murder Dance at the Bingley Ball by Glenna Mason
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A Pride and Prejudice vaariation where a death occurs at the Netherfield ball. It is soon decided that he was killed. It seems that virtually everybody has a contribution to make to the investigation. Although an enjoyable story it does seem that the social mores of the day are forgotten.
Another re-read due to the lack of Mary and Colonel stories.
