Several years have passed since the wedding of Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy and the former Elizabeth Bennet, and Lady Catherine's prediction about polluting the shades of Pemberley have not come to pass. Blessed with a son and the company of Miss Georgiana Darcy, the Darcys of Pemberley are settled into their quiet life when it is disrupted by the death of a local Rector. The search for the new one begins, but the newly-hired Stephen Acworth proves of increasingly mysterious character. Does he seek the living or a lady's heart? The cast of Pride and Prejudice returns to wreak minor havoc on Pemberley and Derbyshire, but Darcy and Elizabeth have something they did not have during the events of the previous novel: each other's undying support. Dorothy Bonavia-Hunt's acclaimed sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice returns to publication. Second Edition.

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.
