The Mr. Darcy & Miss Tilney series brings together characters from across Jane Austen’s novels and turns them into amateur detectives. Mr. Darcy, the reserved hero of Pride and Prejudice, and Catherine Tilney (nee Morland), the imaginative heroine of Northanger Abbey, team up to solve murders at English country estates. The first book, The Murder of Mr. Wickham (2022), gathers Austen characters at a house party where Wickham turns up dead and nobody is particularly sorry about it.

Claudia Gray treats Austen’s characters with genuine affection while putting them in situations their creator never imagined. The series has grown to five books, each set at a different grand estate with a new victim and a fresh set of suspects drawn from the Austen canon. Fans of both cozy mysteries and Austen adaptations have embraced the series for its clever plotting and faithful characterization.
