Mr. & Mrs. Darcy, the joyous newlyweds from Pride and Prejudice, have not even left for their honeymoon when they find themselves embroiled in a mystery involving one of their wedding guests.The lovely Caroline Bingley is engaged to marry a rich and charismatic American. Unfortunately, this windswept courtship is marred by many strange events: nocturnal wanderings, spooked horses, carriage accidents, and even an apparent suicide attempt. Soon the whole Bingley family seems the target of a mysterious plot.Only the Darcys recognize the danger as the Austen genre of Regency romances mixes with the unearthly gothic threats of Ann Radcliffe and the Brontës. Dark forces are afoot and the Darcys must get to the bottom of the plot before the blushing bride descends into madness or worse.In Pride and Prescience, the Darcys take center stage as the Regency era's answer to the Thin Man's Nick and Nora, in search of the truth, universally acknowledged and otherwise.

Because my cousin owns it.
I had put off reading these for ages, because I normally don't like a new author taking a beloved set of characters from the classics and 'extending' their stories. But this was recently recommended to me by a GR friend who felt that the author did a credible job with the characters. I must say, I...
Let's get this out of the way: I have never read any of Jane Austen's works, nor have I seen any movies based on them. That said, this book was still enjoyable, especially considering that I only paid twenty cents for it (no joke.) There were a few profanities, but, I will warn you that if you fin...
This book was so good. The characters in this book are mostly same than in the Pride and Prejudice, but there is also new characters like Mr. Parrish, rich american who marries Ms. Bingley. Everyone thinks Mr. Parrish is charming and a gentleman, but in the end, he is something very different that e...
