Book Description
Publication Date: April 3, 2007
Named Best Historical Mystery of 2006 by Romantic Times BOOKreviews!

After the intrigues and excitements of their time in the city, the Darcys are more than prepared for a bit of peace and quiet at Pemberley. This is time that they can spend together as Elizabeth settles into her pregnancy. However, such serene solitude is not meant to be. First a letter from Lady Anne Fitzwilliam Darcy, long deceased, is discovered. The contents are both mysterious and prescient for Mrs. Darcy. Then a summons to Northanger Abbey involves the young couple in intrigues that threaten not just the Darcy legacy and good name, but Mr. Darcy's freedom as well.
…and to make matter even worse and more uncomfortable for the expectant mother, Darcy's overbearing aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, arrives on the scene to further bedevil Elizabeth.

Add to this rumors of treasure and past scandals, and it becomes obvious that peacefulness is not at home in Pemberley, but secrets and spirits of the past are, and their revelations can have a most a chilling effect on both the Darcys and their family to come.

Journal Entry 3 by wingRochester74wing at Gießen, Hessen Germany on Monday, April 22, 2013
On the last day of the convention ApoloniaX made me aware of the fakt that there was a book with my nametag on the wishbooktable.
I did not expect this and it was a great surprise :-) Thank you very much Eponine38!!!
It seems I was to late to finger out who it was and to thank you personally.

Journal Entry 4 by wingRochester74wing at Gießen, Hessen Germany on Friday, May 10, 2013
I enjoyed reading this book very much :-)
Mystery and Northanger Abby is a good combination. We meet a few old acquaintances like Henry and Frederick Tilney. Mr. Wickham is up to no good- what a suprise- and got some lovely new friends. And when Lydia starts talking it sounds like Jane Austen wrote her lines.

Eponine38, thank you again for fulfilling this wish!!!

It's gonna be a RAY and you know how this workes: Do not keep this book for ages and you can always ask to get a place futher down the list, if it's necessary ;-)

I finished the book two days ago and it gave me a good time. I know my Austen-friend wouldn't like it, but I would recommend it for non-Austen-fans.
There was one thing that I didn't really liked: the child's Name.

Journal Entry 8 by wingbluezwuzlwing at Altdorf (Niederbayern), Bayern Germany on Saturday, July 27, 2013
Not quite as convincing as its prequel, but nevertheless fun to read.
...And now it's on its way to Lamilla!

Journal Entry 9 by wingbluezwuzlwing at Altdorf (Niederbayern), Bayern Germany on Monday, September 2, 2013
THE BOOK IS NOT LOST, IT WAS ONLY TRAVELLING AROUND ON ITS OWN...

It came back to me today. It took the mail-people over a month to notice that there was something missing from the address... I'm really sorry if I made a mistake when copying the address. I'll check that with Lamilla and try again..
Sorry!

Its on its way now for the second time. There was nothing wrong with the address. I didn't add a CUSTOMS-DECLARATION (known by the charming name "CN22"), but I did this time. I hope Lamilla will get the book now, finally... <:-}

Arrived here safely today. Thank you very much Lamilla for the gorgeous postcard and bookmark too! (seems that sending things out of Belarus goes a lot quicker than in? Hope my parcel arrives soon..) This sounds fun, looking forward to read it.
Happy holidays everyone! :)

Journal Entry 13 by Tsjara at Assendelft, Noord-Holland Netherlands on Thursday, January 9, 2014
A nice easy read, I quite enjoyed it. The slightly Gothic atmosphere at the beginning was fun. It was nice to meet the Darcys again, and some other familiar characters (from both Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey) as well as a few new ones. (Haha, I didn't expect ..... to be behind the intrigues - of course you will have to read the book to find out who it was :p)

This book arrived yesterday thank you! I already got a couple of pages into it in the lunch line today. :)

Journal Entry 19 by megami-no-ushi at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Friday, May 9, 2014
My apologies for taking a bit longer with this book than I intended. Between moving for a new job, the tragic stabbing of our students, my aunt's death, and final drafts of my thesis, this lovely book did get put down for several weeks.

This was another worthy addition to the series and I'm very glad to have had the opportunity to read it. Certain aspects of the mystery were fairly obvious but there were enough pieces that it was a fun read! PM sent to the next participant for their address.

Journal Entry 20 by megami-no-ushi at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Monday, June 2, 2014
Update: Finally heard back from QueenSissi who asked to be skipped. PM sent to the next participant.
ETA: next participant also asked to be skipped, book now on it's way to Soozreader in Finland.

Another wonderful Mr. and Mrs. Darcy mystery! I enjoyed this even more than Suspense and Sensibility! Well-written, interesting, surprising and thoroughly lovely cozy mystery... I can't wait to travel back to the world of the Darcys!

I have pm'ed and received (Thank you!) the address of the next reader so the book will travel onwards next week:)

Journal Entry 25 by QueenSissi at Gouveia, Guarda Portugal on Tuesday, September 2, 2014
Sorry, it arrived during my holiday and it was left on my huge pile of letter... Will try to read it as fast as possible!

Journal Entry 26 by QueenSissi at Gouveia, Guarda Portugal on Thursday, February 5, 2015
I'd like to apologize for taking so long to read it. I moved and living in a big city with 4 boys has taken its toll.

About the book, I just loved it and once I got started I couldn't stop reading it! I really like the way the characters evolved and how Elizabeth handled everything.

Thank you! I will send it to kiki66 as storm0103 asked to be skipped.

Journal Entry 27 by wingkiki66wing at Gauting, Bayern Germany on Thursday, April 23, 2015
Olá little book - I've quite forgotten about you!

but now it is here and I look forward to reading it.. since I am only reading a non-BC
book this must wait and I will start with Elizabeth and Darcy immediately--

Journal Entry 28 by wingkiki66wing at Gauting, Bayern Germany on Friday, May 1, 2015
I have finished this book last week and am now waiting for the next address..

I liked this one quite well. It was nice to meet some of the characters from P&P and Northanger Abbey. Since I had also a re-run of my Austen movies I was happy to add the faces from the BBC movies to the written ones :-)

edit: and it was way better than 'Northanger Abbey' by Val McDermott!!!
