Review:
"A mystery set in the
village of Jane Austen's Emma," about says it all! What a fun, charming murder
mystery - sounds strange to call a murder mystery charming, but it is! This
story is just like reading a sequel to Austen's Emma. Ms. Grossack captured the
heart of Emma and her fellow villagers in Highbury. You feel like you're reading
Austen. Descriptions of the villagers, the surroundings, even the beloved
characters from the original Emma are back to help solve the mystery. Even the
style of the mystery seems to be from the period -- i.e. Wilkie Collins. I
really enjoyed this story. It even solves one of the mysteries in Emma -- how
did Mr. Churchill's first wife die?? Relax, enjoy, and be entertained.
