Love, Laughter, and Lethal How will Kitty and Lydia Rid Themselves of a Dastardly Wickham?Four years after Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are wed, Kitty Bennet receives a disturbing letter from Lydia begging her sister to visit. But when Kitty arrives in Newcastle, she finds Lydia living in squalor and terror. Worse, Wickham’s drunken rages leave marks not just on Lydia but on her two young daughters. Desperation calls for drastic measures, and the sisters quickly realize to ensure Lydia’s safety, Wickham must go–permanently.Unfortunately, neither is adept at murder.From botched poisonings to cliff-side mishaps, Kitty and Lydia’s attempts to eliminate Wickham become a series of hilariously doomed plots. As they scramble to protect Lydia and her children, the unexpected attention of Lieutenant Denny, who seems to have genuine affection for Lydia, adds a new twist to their adventures. Could he be the ally they desperately need?Join Kitty and Lydia in their misadventures as they navigate Regency society with wit, humor, and an ever-evolving arsenal of absurd schemes to rid themselves of the loathsome Wickham. Will they succeed in their daring mission?Goodbye A Comedy of Attempted Murder is an oddball Pride and Prejudice sequel of 28,000 words, striking just the right balance of drama and farce with a guaranteed happy ending (but only for those who deserve it.) Though this book takes a lighthearted approach to the murdering, domestic violence is a serious issue, especially in a time where women had few options outside of marriage and little chance of retaining custody of their children even if they did manage a divorce. In the words of British filmmaker and writer, Peter Ustinov, “Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.” Hopefully this book succeeds at this. And that you have some good laughs at Mr. Wickham’s expense.
