 I liked it, and that's big :) October 9, 2006

I bought this book mostly for fun, I'm a real Pride and Predjudice (the BBC series) fan and I was reluctant to see my favourite classic's main carracters being dragged through a sequal, ecspecially one not written by the original auther. It wasn't the great big masterpiece, but I didn't feel Darcy, Lizzy or the others where exploited in any way, and I enjoyed the little mystery very much, in fact I must admit that I had a hard time putting it down sometimes :)

The newly wed Mr and Mrs Darcy are back and are the Regency answer to Nora and Nick of the Thin Man. The mystery embroils Caroline Bingley and her engagement to an American, prior to the wedding all kinds of strange events occur; nocturnal wanderings, carriage accidents and Caroline behaving very strangely. Is Elizabeth right in believing supernatural forces are at work, or is Mr Darcy correct in suspecting more mortal forces.
It's a fun mystery, and better than most add ons to Pride and Prejiduce, even if the historical aspects may be a little off kilter. The joy of this is seeing Mr and Mrs Darcy post wedding, and familiar faces from the original are handled well.
The supernatural element is a little far fetched but Berbris credibly handles what the Darcy's reactions would be. For true Austenites the Stephanie Barron series with Jane herself as a sleuth might be more satisfying and certainly mimics the tone and wit of the originals better than this, but as mystery fluff goes this is a good one.
 Not so badly... December 18, 2005

But it's a pity the author decided to use Darcy and Elizabeth in this conventional mystery tale. Yes, modern readers (and modern authors) are very fond of vodoo, magic potions and such like cheap mycticism. But for me JA and this aspect of modern mass culture are simply incompatible. So I'm very disappointed. Another example of the Austen cult: love without understanding and a passion to make Austen "just like us".

A lovely and well written book, after the double wedding Caroline drops her bomshell...she is getting married within a week and so this stops the newlyweds from going on honeymoon. after her wedding things start going wrong, but only one person can see the danger head and that person in Elizabeth.
A fitting sequel July 21, 2005

I really enjoyed this book. I have read Pride and Prejudice several times, so it was a joy to find a book that took us beyond the wedding. It is a little far-fetched, but no less enjoyable for that. And the author has managed to adhere faithfully to Austen's characters. I look forward to reading her next book and hope she has plenty more planned.
