The young ladies of Hertfordshire are dropping like flies.
Miss Elizabeth Bennet could not be more pleased when the famous London detective, Mr Sherlock Darcy, makes it his business to solve the mystery of three young ladies’ deaths – not least because he shares her suspicion that so many deaths must be more than mere accident. But even she never could have guessed, as they embark upon the investigation, how close to home the solution lies.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a mother in possession of unmarried daughters must be in want of eligible bachelors. Less well known are the lengths to which she might go to attract them…
Bursting with subterfuge, flirtation, and murder most foul, Murder & Matchmaking will lure you into a world of romantic intrigue, family drama, and amateur detectiving. Jane Austen’s witty prose meets the baffling mysteries of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in a book that finally answers the question: if Mrs Bennet is so concerned about her daughters finding suitable matches, why doesn't she really do something about their chances?

Debbie Cowens is a Kapiti-based writer and English teacher. She co-authored the award-winning Mansfield with Monsters with her husband Matt, and her stories have been published in both New Zealand and international publications and anthologies.
Murder & Matchmaking is her first novel and it weaves together many of her favourite things: Jane Austen heroines, a Sherlock Holmes-inspired detective, mischievous canines and intrigues. She is a little surprised that more chocolate didn’t sneak its way into the narrative.
