To mark the 250th birthday of Jane Austen, a group of well established authors of Austenesque fiction come together to create a combined travelogue and short story anthology. The authors share memories of travels around England in the footsteps of Jane Austen. Each memory inspires a story. The six stories vary from the whimsical to the heartbreaking. This is a treat that should not be missed. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Amazon review Goodreads review

Thank you so much for hosting me today, Gill! Story quote from Kelly Miller’s story, The Love Potion I toyed with my sleeve, averting my vision from her piercing scrutiny. I could not shake the fanciful notion that she had a window into my thoughts.

When Netherfield Park is let at last, all Meryton is excited by the prospect of wealthy batchelors.   Charles Bingley, Simon Lockhart and Fitzwilliam Darcy are soon making themselves known to the neighbourhood.  Bingley and Lockhart are handsome and amiable, whilst Darcy projects haughtiness.  Simon meets Elizabeth Bennet when he gets a concussion, falling off his horse. She rescues him and earns his undying regard. Unfortunately, the return of the beautiful Jane Bennet, turns his head and Bingley’s. Elizabeth is quite happy to settle for friendship. However, Darcy is horrified at such inconstancy (whilst becoming increasingly smitten). It takes quite a while for the twisting tendrils of attraction and love to be untangled.

After misunderstandings and tribulations, Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy are betrothed. Just when felicity is assured, Darcy is informed of madness running through the Darcy line. Elizabeth must be informed before marriage but Darcy is terrified that she will break off the engagement. Fortunately, Elizabeth is devoted to Darcy, so the wedding goes ahead. After the honeymoon, a letter arrives which casts a shadow on Georgiana Darcy’s character and even her sanity. This is an excellent romantic, suspense novel.   Little snippets of Georgiana’s odd behaviour fuel our suspicions. It feels like waves upon the shore. Suspicion rises, but then diminishes, only to rise again. Excellently written and gripping. I received a free copy of this book via Booksirens and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A Regency serial killer Excellent book combining a good depiction of ODC, with a murder mystery. Interesting changes to the background. No Bennett girls after Lizzy and Mrs Bennett died. I heartily recommend this. Amazon Amazon reviews
