About this eBook

Originally published in 1949, the unusual plot takes the Darcys into the realm of the Gothic—perfect for fans of Death Comes to Pemberley.

Mr. Darcy must appoint a new rector at Pemberley, which affords the author the opportunity to introduce a host of new characters to mingle with the beloved and familiar ones of Jane Austen.

A delightfully witty plot, full of surprises:

"Who could have foretold that Dr. Robinson, who had done nothing of note in all his lifetime should, by the common and natural act of dying, set in motion a train of events so strange, so startling, so far removed from probability as to emulate the riotous fancies of a disordered mind?"

"The kind of story Jane Austen would have delighted to tell."

—J. Donald Adams

What readers are saying:

"Really a great book and captures Austen's characters quite well. I was excessively diverted."

"A very original plot."

"A wonderful addition to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice sequels!"

Ratings and reviews

This is by far the best and most authentically written Pride and Prejudice sequel I have read. Every character rings true both in description and dialogue.

Love Elizabeth and Darcy. They are really brought to life and are made memorable!
