Mr. and Mrs. Darcy

I have discovered my own personal crack. It is the perfect marriage of costume dra-medy and genre mystery. It is Pride and Prescience (Or, A Truth Universally Acknowledged), a Mr. and Mrs. Darcy Mystery by Carrie Bebris. Oh yeah, that's right! Elizabeth and Darcy are sluthing! Does it get any better than that? I think not.

I have long loved Jane Austen, P&P being my favorite of her books. The pleasure I derive from genre mystery however is new to me. I am zooming through both the Tea Shop Mysteries and the Hemlock Falls Mysteries. Both are series with professional women as the central character involved in detecting.

Previously, I have read Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife: Pride and Prejudice Continues by Linda Berdoll. It is a fantasticly smutty sequal to the origial P&P that covers the years following the double wedding. I can't come close to explaining how much I love this book. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that there are additional squals out there (totally unconnected to Ms. Berdoll's version mentioned above).

And because I am so kind, I reveal to you below the other tantilizing options.
