The first book in a new mystery duology starring Lizzie Bennet and Mr. Darcy from the acclaimed Jane Austen Murder Mysteries! Lizzie and Darcy work on a case that brings up ghosts from their personal and professional pasts.
The tenacious Lizzie Bennet has earned her place at Longbourn, her father’s law firm. Her work keeps her busy, but luckily it gives her plenty of reasons to consult (and steal occasional kisses) with Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, a stern but secretly soft-hearted solicitor at Pemberley.
Lizzie is hired to investigate a deadly warehouse fire and to find the mysterious woman who was spotted at the scene moments before the flames took hold. But when the case leads to the sitting room of a woman Darcy once proposed marriage to, the delicate balance between personal and professional in their relationship is threatened.
Questions of the future are cast aside when the prime suspect is murdered and Lizzie’s own life is threatened. As the body count rises, and their suspicions about what was really going on in the warehouse grow, the pressure is on for Lizzie and Darcy to uncover the truth.
Lizzie Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy are back in this spinoff of the acclaimed novel Pride and Premeditation!
