Rounded up to 5⭐️, this 4th book in series finds the Darcys, Tilneys and Bertrams knee-deep in family dramas/murders. Love this series!

4.5/5⭐️

Dangerous to Know: Jane Austen's Rakes & Gentlemen Rogues | Katie Oliver, Amy D'Orazio, Karen M Cox

For #JaneAustenThenAndNow I've read the novellas related to Northanger Abbey. There are 3: As Much As He Can deals w General Tilney & it was not bad; The Art Of Sinking is about John Thorpe & I couldn't finish it 😬; For Mischief's Sake is Frederick Tilney's story & the one I liked best of the three.
These stories try to flesh out Austen's rogues, often w an aim of leaving a better impression of them. It sometimes works for me but not always.

bookandbedandtea The Willoughby and Wickham stories were both "not bad" while the one for Colonel Fitzwilliam (who I hadn't ever really classified as a rogue) was "pretty good." 2w
Ruthiella Colonel Fitzwilliam was lovely! When I first read the book (knowing nothing of the story or outcome-a good reason to NEVER spoil a classic, I don‘t care how long it has been in print), I thought he might have been a good match for Lizzie. 2w
bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella I agree with you. I remember thinking he and Lizzie would be very good together! And, despite him wanting to marry for some money, I've always thought of him as one of the good guys so I was surprised he was included in an anthology about rakes and rogues. 😆 2w
Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm gradually reading but haven't got to Northanger yet. 1w

Juliet Tilney and Jonathan Darcy are each sent to London by their parents to expand their social connections and if they find a match so much the better as long as it‘s not each other. Of course murder happens and they are again called into help the investigation. I‘m really enjoying this series and glad to know there willl be at least 2 more.

Thank you #NetGalley!

@Read4life

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pleasant enough retelling of Pride and Prejudice, set in modern day East Hampton. It was fine, although Elizabeth was more neurotic and Darcy less charming than the original. On its own this is pretty forgettable but I do love P&P, and so probably liked this more than I would have otherwise. Soft pick.
