Emma Knightley Mysteries

The Emma Knightley Mysteries series in reading order: 1 book reviewed on The Bookish Elf, first published in 2024.

Book 1 in one line: Murder in Highbury is a worthy addition to both the historical mystery genre and the canon of Austen-inspired literature. Kelly successfully transforms Emma into a believable amateur detective while maintaining the character's essential nature and the period's social restrictions.
