Could Fitzwilliam Darcy harbor a shocking, sinister secret?
Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet count themselves among the many guests of the Kendall family, whose estate lies amid the picturesque hills, gorges, and rocky slopes of the Peak District in Derbyshire. Elizabeth’s cousin Rose Kendall believes her dashing brother-in-law, Captain James Kendall, is Elizabeth’s ideal match. Rose’s husband, Nicholas, hopes his good friend Darcy - a rich, proud, and taciturn gentleman with a spotless reputation - will fancy one of the other eligible lady guests.
News of a brutal killing at a neighboring estate sends a wave of shock through the genial group of friends and family. When one of the Kendalls’ guests is attacked, all of the gentlemen become suspects, but the former Bow Street runner tasked with investigating the crime finds the evidence against Mr. Darcy particularly compelling.
In this romantic mystery, the beloved couple from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice cross paths with a ruthless killer. When faced with dire warnings against Mr. Darcy, will Elizabeth heed them or follow the dictates of her heart?

Darcy in this book is not a version I would want to date. He puts Elisabeth pretty soon on a pedestal, is controlling and jealous. And sort of unhealthily obsessed. Also without Lizzy he is dour and not very interesting. So his mood is completely dependent on her and often gets immediately angry in ridiculous non-situations. Obviously he improves within hours of the botched proposal but it is strange how Lizzy always has to make a rational case after a "no" from him even at times were they are not married to do things her way. Basically he is a walking red flag.
Both often are not able to follow conversations with other people because they are so deeply distracted from the slightest whiff of each other (because they are so attuned that they can distinguish the footsteps coming across the hall...)
The book had an interesting premise, but the endless repetitions of their deep devotions and how everybody immediately fell in love with the incredible Ms. Bennett and Darcy's repetitive inner monologue made it really hard to get through the last third.
Not my cup of tea....
