In the classic regency tradition of Georgette HeyerPride and PrescienceOrA Truth Universally AcknowledgedMr. & 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 such as nocturnal wanderings, spooked horses, carriage accidents, and atypical incidents of mortal consequence. Soon the whole Bingley family seems the target of a sinister plot, with only the Darcys recognizing the danger .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.

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.
