Product Description

Fresh from the curious and unsettling matter of Caroline Bingley (as related in Pride and Prescience), Mr. and Mrs. Darcy have every intention of enjoying their still newlywed status at Pemberly until they are confronted with another mysterious situation, ... one of

Suspense and Sensibility

Elizabeth Darcy and her beloved husband Fitzwilliam are taking on the responsibility of finding a suitable suitor for Elizabeth's younger sister Kitty, thereby assuring her a proper place in society.

The angels smile on the young and a perfect match is found, and wedding plans are soon under way. Suddenly a change in personality occurs in Kitty's soon to be model husband-a change so striking as to jeopardize not just the Darcys' social standing, but their lives as well.

A mysterious mirror, an insidious reprobate from the past, and matters far beyond the social circles around Pemberly all come into play in a dangerous puzzle, where the consequences may be the exchange of a soul for a soul.

Once again the Darcys take center stage as the Regency era's answer to The Thin Man's Nick and Nora, searching for truth between tea times, amid the social whirl of Jane Austen's England.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Jane Austen fans who regret the author wrote only six full-length novels have reason to rejoice: Bebris's second Mr. and Mrs. Darcy mystery is even better than her strong debut, Pride and Prescience (2004).In the spring of 1813, Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy agree to sponsor Elizabeth's sister Kitty for a season in London along with Darcy's 17-year-old sister, Georgiana. In the course of their social rounds, Kitty meets Harry Dashwood - a younger cousin of the Sense and Sensibility Dashwoods - and the courtship begins. Mr. Darcy makes inquiries into Harry's character, fortune and expectations, but no sooner does he receive favorable answers than the suitor begins to behave most strangely. Harry gives a friend the "cut direct" outside Boodle's Club, and there are rumors of gambling and worse excesses. It's up to Darcy and Elizabeth to discover the cause of these aberrations, and, if at all possible, see Kitty happily established. The author smoothly combines characters from Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility while remaining true to Austen's originals. A few elements of the paranormal help illuminate the mores of the period. Regency romance readers will also be delighted.

Review

"Perhaps the epitome of 'niche fiction,' these too cutely titled but entertaining yarns feature Jane Austen's most celebrated couple, the now married Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. The antics of these softboiled sleuths are amusing….Austen buffs will find a lot of good period stuff about gardening, fencing, raising rabbits, and the care and feeding of discontinued Royal Worcester china patterns."--The News & Observer on Suspense & Sensibility

"After launching the series with Pride and Prescience last year, she skillfully brings Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy of Pride and Prejudice together with characters from Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility….there is a supernatural twist built around an object with strange powers."--The Capital Times web edition

"The protagonists are a charming couple--the comparison to the Mr. and Mrs. North mysteries by Frances and Richard Lockridge is not misplaced--and the mystery itself is a nice blend of the natural and the supernatural. Looking forward to more in the series."--Chronicle on Suspense and Sensibility

"Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy solve another supernatural mystery in this sequel to Bebris's Pride and Prescience….The story is witty and charming--a mixture of Austen and Nick and Nora and great fun for teen fans of the first book."--Voice of Youth Advocates on Suspense and Sensibility
