Day seven: Most underrated book

I can do 'overrated' better than 'underrated'. There are multiple, oh so many overrated books out there! But it's a series that comes to mind, rather than an individual book, as my underrated candidate:

The Mr and Mrs Darcy Mysteries by Carrie Bebris

Avoid Death Comes to Pemberley - it fails as both an Austen sequel and a murder mystery, imho. I obviously fell for the hype - Kindle makes buying books way too easy - but I was disappointed. The characters are stiff and miserable, utterly unlike Austen's creations, and the mystery is wrapped up with a last minute confession. Rubbish - I expected so much more from PD James.

But yes, if you can find any of Carrie Bebris' books, give them a try. The first in the series is Pride and Prescience. My favourite is obviously The Intrigue at Highbury ;)
