The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh

Praise

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that an excellent mystery written in the manner and setting of Jane Austen must be in want of sequels. Claudia Gray’s The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh . . . has all the zest and suspense of its sparkling predecessors.”
—Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal

“With wit, charm, and a pitch perfect Regency voice, Claudia Gray expertly conjures the magic of Jane Austen. The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh is a must-read historical mystery. I was riveted to the last page.”
—Mimi Matthews, USA Today bestselling author

“The delightful new addition to Claudia Gray’s Austen-verse finds intrepid detectives Jonathan Darcy and Juliet Tilney investigating the attempted murder of Lady Catherine de Bourgh. From spot-on characterization, a slow-burn romance, and enticing plot, Gray has written a delicious tale populated by Austen favs. I devoured every page, and now wait with bated breath for the next installment!”
—Uzma Jalaluddin, internationally bestselling author of Much Ado About Nada

“Gray perfectly captures Austen’s warmth and sharp wit in this delightful mystery.”
—Kelley Armstrong, bestselling author of A Rip Through Time

“[Gray] honors Austen in portraying her characters, both those invented by Austen and those of her own devising, giving each a strongly marked character but leaving them open to hidden depths that will surprise and delight readers. The puzzle is intriguing, but its solution is only part of the reward of Gray’s ingenious new franchise. A rare treat for mystery readers and Austen buffs alike.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Bewitching. . . . Gray again evokes the wit and atmosphere of an Austen novel while serving up a mystery that will stump even the most seasoned armchair detectives. This series deserves a long life.”
