Lovely review of Murder & Matchmaking in the
NZ Herald.
"Jane Austen's heroines meet Sherlock Holmes-style detectives when the
unmarried young ladies of Hertfordshire start dying in mysterious
circumstances. Miss Elizabeth Bennet suspects the deaths are not
accidents, an opinion shared by a famous London detective. Will they
solve the mystery together? And, more importantly, will they get
married? Cowens does a fantastic job of melding the writing styles of
Austen and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, crafting a story that is equal parts
intriguing and hilarious. Is it mash-up, parody, horror, satire, homage
or just good writing? I say, all of them."
