All the Appearance of Goodness
In which the author kills her first character.
So, I’m not the murder-y sort of writer who kills characters willy-nilly. It’s just not something I like to do. But in this book, things sort of went that way. And I found myself down a research rabbit hold which included more than one episode of 1000 Ways to Die.
Can’t say I liked the experience very much–probably why I still don’t do it often.

All the Appearance of Goodness
What is a young woman to do? One handsome young man has all the goodness, while the other, the appearance of it. How is she to separate the gentleman from the cad?
When Darcy joins his friend, Bingley on a trip to Meryton, the last thing on his mind is finding a wife. Meeting Elizabeth Bennet changes all that, but a rival for his affections appears from a most unlikely quarter. He must overcome his naturally reticent disposition if he is to have a chance of winning her favor.
Elizabeth’s thoughts turn to love and marriage after her sister Mary’s engagement. In a few short weeks, she goes from knowing no eligible young men, to being courted by two. Both are handsome gentlemen, but one conceals secrets and the other conceals his regard. Will she determine which is which before she commits to the wrong one?
Loved this story. I think there were several jaw-dropping surprises in this story. Well done. I am enjoying looking back at your earlier works.
I read this in January of 2014. I did enjoy reading it.
