chicklet to chick lit

As promised in my last entry, I did read Pride and Prescience, or A Truth Universally Acknowledged: a Mr & Mrs. Darcy Mystery by Carrie Bebris. Jane Austen, it is not. Yet, if you can't get enough of Elizabeth and Darcy from the original Pride & Prejudice, it does provide an evening's worth of entertainment. I must admit that it was fun to read during one of our frigid, snowy afternoons. There are two more available through the CAFE system: Suspense and Sensibility, or First Impressions Revisited and North by Northanger, or Shades of Pemberley.
Currently, I am reading Julia Spencer-Fleming's All Mortal Flesh. The twist in this mystery series is that the main character is a female Episcopal priest. She has several books out; All Mortal Flesh is her fifth. Her first book, In the Bleak Midwinter, won the St. Martin's Malice Domestic Award for 2001; she is also the winner of the Dilys, Barry, Agatha, Anthony and Macavity Awards.
