If you&#8217;ve ever wondered what happened to Jane Austen&#8217;s beloved characters after they lived happily ever after, Claudia lets you know in the most delightful fashion &#8211; AND takes care of the rotten Mr. Wickham at the same time &#8211; in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Murder-of-Mr-Wickham\/dp\/B09L5DFNFZ\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2WVCXGG9PC62I&amp;keywords=the+murder+of+mr+wickham&amp;qid=1649715084&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=the+murder+of+%2Cstripbooks%2C134&amp;sr=1-1\">The Murder of Mr. Wickham.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publishersweekly.com\/pw\/by-topic\/authors\/interviews\/article\/88804-jane-austen-meets-agatha-christie-pw-talks-with-claudia-gray.html\">here<\/a> to have a look at the article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First of all, let me congratulate Charity, the winner of the April giveaway of a copy of the 6-CD audiobook of Valentino Will Die!
