Carrie Bebris has written three mystery novels about the Jane Austen's characters from Pride and Prejudice, Elibeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy:
Pride and Prescience, or, A Truth Universally Acknowledged
Suspense and Sensibility: a Mr. & Mrs. Darcy Mystery
North by Northanger, or, The Shades of PemberleyL a Mr. & Mrs. Darcy Mystery.
Jane Austen fans who are also mystery lovers will especially enjoy these books, because they take up where Pride and Prejudice left off and allow readers to spend more time with Austen's characters and the world they inhabit. Since the books are mysteries, though, the plots do stay from what would be expected from Austen; in some ways they are more like the gothic novels of Ann Radcilffe because of the focus on the spirit world found in books 1 and 2. I enjoyed all three nonetheless.
