Murder & Matchmaking by Debbie Cowens

5.0

Murder & Matchmaking is heaps of fun but also very clever. It's a seamless mashup, seamless to the point I forgot it was a mashup at all (then again I also forgot mid-point about Lydia's...ahem... transformation and got very confused by her barking out of the window, but to be honest that just added to the enjoyment). This isn't an "...and zombies" style work, fun as those are - it's a thoughtful re-imagining with characters and deeds that, disturbingly, don't seem nearly as out of place as you might think. I especially appreciated the epilogue, which made no attempt to shy away from the inevitable but instead thoroughly cements Mrs Bennet's character. A satisfying end to a thoroughly enjoyable book.
