Book excerpt: One island. One murder. One bed. Miss Elizabeth Bennet refused Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy's proposal months ago, but he’s just announced that they’re married. Admittedly, they are in a strange situation. They’re stuck on a small island off the coast of Brighton and they’ve just been discovered standing over the dead body of Mr. George Wickham. Neither of them killed him, of course. But one of the other six occupants on this island did, and now they are all trapped there for four days until a ferry comes. Elizabeth is glad enough to be granted Mr. Darcy’s protection—she is a woman alone, unchaperoned due to a series of unfortunate events, and being thought his wife does make things easier for her. Until they learn that there is only one room in the inn on the island for them. With one bed. Dear reader, this variation could not be termed precisely clean, but I assure wary readers that the romantic tension is far more prevalent than the, er, action. Though this variation has a body count, I believe it's one of my lighter offerings. I hope it's enjoyable.
