The Rushworth Family Plot: A Novel | Claudia Gray

Am I ignoring my towering, teetering stack(s) of books at home to read this book that just came in to the library? Why, yes. Yes, I am, thank you for asking.

Susanita This is the way. 3d

4/5

Miss Juliet Tilney and Mr. Jonathan Darcy find themselves both in Londonn. Jonathan wants to take advantage of the opportunity to convince everyone that he is an appropriate match for Juliet. But soon they are drawn into another murder investigation.

I continue to enjoy this series combining Austen's characters with cozy mystery. I continue to enjoy the way Jonathan and Juliet's relationship is developing over the series.

The Rushworth Family Plot: A Novel | Claudia Gray

so-so

#Pemberlittens I had issues with how Jonathan's dad the ORIGINAL Mr Darcy was portrayed. Because of that I gave it 3 stars on Goodreads. My full slightly spoilery Review in comments. 🎩

#JaneAustenThenAndNow

Crinoline_Laphroaig I don't read these books for the mystery. I read them for Juliet Tilney and Jonathan Darcy. Reasons for keeping them separated is very convoluted. Also I don't like that it's because of Mr Darcy! ⬇️

2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig Mr Darcy who had such character growth in Pride and Prejudice and married for love. There's no reason a man who ended up with Lydia as a sister in law and Mrs Bennet as a mother in law would disapprove of Juliet Tilney as a daughter in law. She not a golddigger. Her family is respectable and while not Pemberly rich, they are not poor. Juliet is smart, likeable but most importantly she truly cares for Jonathan. Mr Darcy wouldn't act this way.

2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig Will I continue to read this series? Absolutely! I'm waiting for the happy ever after. 2w

willaful Hmmm, wondering now if I should skip this one and just wait for the HEA. ;-) They've been going downhill for me. 2w

Rounded up to 5⭐️, this 4th book in series finds the Darcys, Tilneys and Bertrams knee-deep in family dramas/murders. Love this series!

4.5/5⭐️

Dangerous to Know: Jane Austen's Rakes & Gentlemen Rogues | Katie Oliver, Amy D'Orazio, Karen M Cox

pick

For #JaneAustenThenAndNow I've read the novellas related to Northanger Abbey. There are 3: As Much As He Can deals w General Tilney & it was not bad; The Art Of Sinking is about John Thorpe & I couldn't finish it 😬; For Mischief's Sake is Frederick Tilney's story & the one I liked best of the three.
These stories try to flesh out Austen's rogues, often w an aim of leaving a better impression of them. It sometimes works for me but not always.

bookandbedandtea The Willoughby and Wickham stories were both "not bad" while the one for Colonel Fitzwilliam (who I hadn't ever really classified as a rogue) was "pretty good." 4w

Ruthiella Colonel Fitzwilliam was lovely! When I first read the book (knowing nothing of the story or outcome-a good reason to NEVER spoil a classic, I don‘t care how long it has been in print), I thought he might have been a good match for Lizzie. 4w

bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella I agree with you. I remember thinking he and Lizzie would be very good together! And, despite him wanting to marry for some money, I've always thought of him as one of the good guys so I was surprised he was included in an anthology about rakes and rogues. 😆 4w

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm gradually reading but haven't got to Northanger yet. 3w
