The Late Mrs Willoughby is the 2nd book in a series where the children of Elizabeth Bennett and Catherine Morland solve murders. Jonathan is super autistic, which I appreciate, but sadly Juliet is nowhere near as dramatic as her mother! I do love the detail that Catherine has grown up to be an author though, I'm imagining ghosts and smut!

Mr Willoughby's wife, who he only married for her money and now hates, is murdered and we have a lot of chat about how inappropriate it is to die in mixed company which is hilarious!

It's once again up to Jonathan and Juliet to help solve the crime and hopefully none of our favourite characters from Sense and Sensibility end up guilty! I did work out who did it well before the end, purely because the murderer wasn't suspicious enough, which was a bit disappointing as the mystery in the first book wasn't as obvious.

I really like how Gray remains very faithful to the personalities of Austen's original characters and her new ones fit believably into the world. I'm also enjoying the ongoing will they/won't they relationship between the young Mr Darcy and Miss Tilney.
