Less than a year into her marriage with George Knightly, Emma and Harriet happen upon a shocking discovery in the local church. As the investigation into Mrs. Elton’s death progresses, Emma must discreetly navigate an investigation of her own to protect the innocent and expose the ruthless culprit hiding in plain sight. From matchmaker to sleuth, Emma faces new challenges amongst familiar faces.
Cozy mysteries are always fun to follow, and this brought back many of my favorite characters from classic Austen literature! I felt like the author did those characters justice, creating a fun story to follow with just enough red herrings. This book wasn't particularly long, but there were a few chapters that felt drawn out. Overall, I was happy to return to the world of Emma Woodhouse and those in her inner circle.
Thank you Kensington Books, Austen Prose PR, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book!
