It is six years since the marriage of Elizabeth Bennett to Fitzwilliam Darcy. They are happily settled on Darcy's estate Pemberley, with two young sons. There is a murder on the estate the night before an annual Fall Ball and the still dastardly George Wickham is the prime suspect.
This was my second listen of the book because the Downtown Library Book Club will be discussing it in November. I could barely finish it the first time but did better this time. I expected it to be more Jane Austenish than it was and found the "stiff upper lip" dialog got old quickly. However, it is a good story and I kept my ear out for the irony this time and found more of it. I would recommend this book to fans of P.D. James but tell Jane's followers they can pass on it.
