Recent Reads {Suspense and Sensibility}

Suspense and Sensibility (Or, First Impressions Revisited) by Carrie Bebris - The second story of the Mr & Mrs Darcy Mysteries finds Darcy and Elizabeth enjoying the quiet of Pemberley, but not for long. They agree to sponsor Elizabeth's sister Kitty for a London season, and of course the goal is to find a husband for her. It doesn't take long before the seemingly perfect match comes along. Young Harry Dashwood is charming and wealthy, and most importantly, he is devoted to Kitty and the engagement is soon announced. Unfortunately, while wedding preparations begin, Harry's behavior changes dramatically, and gives the London elite plenty of fodder for gossip - none of it flattering. The Darcys do their best to protect Kitty's reputation from irreparable harm and the engagement is broken, but Elizabeth suspects that something supernatural may be the explanation for Harry's suddenly altered personality. She must convince Darcy to help, and they solve another mystery with fantasy elements.

Once again, Bebris combines excellent character development with an entertaining, supernatural mystery. It's particularly enjoyable to have the Darcys interacting with the characters from Sense and Sensibility.
