Charming mixture of Regency mores and magic. The author uses a Jane Austen character in a Regency setting who uses magic. This was a fast and fun read. The two earlier books in the series were good as well. ( )

This third book in the series progresses along similar lines to the first two. The focus is on social interactions with a relatively mild (if gruesome) mystery to clear up at the end. The prose felt less old-fashioned here (certainly not modern, however), although perhaps I'm just used to it by now. The pace of the story is leisurely, and the tension level low. I had a bit of a sense of characters spelling things out to each other that surely were known to them both, and Mary's "life lessons" (both given and received) felt like trite homilies. But I guess that fits since she's visiting Mr Collins :P

Overall, a pleasant, low-tension read with further homages to Pride & Prejudice.

In this P&P sequel Mary Bennet's story continues as she goes and stays at the Hunsford Parsonage to recover from her recent experiences. But what is it about the old woodland on Rosings Park and who is killing the animals. During Mary's stay she unites with old friends and makes new ones as she unravels the mystery.
Another enjoyable and well-written story featuring my favourite character
