A Pride and Prejudice Mystery

De: Jaime Marie Lang

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Their quest is shrouded in mystery, and the outcome is uncertain - will it lead them to a delightful destiny or their doom?

When Lady Cathrine summoned her before dawn, Elizabeth knew it was going to be a terrible day. She was expecting a tirade of epic proportions; she was not expecting Lady Cathrine to drop dead. Elizabeth's shock at the woman's poisoning paled in comparison to the revelation that Mr. Darcy had been harboring feelings for her.

Despite his usual stoicism, Darcy found himself consumed by love for Elizabeth Bennet and knew he had to devise a plan to win her affections. When his aunt dies unexpectedly, Elizabeth and Darcy embark on a quest to uncover the truth behind her death. If they work together, he might even have the opportunity to make Elizabeth see him in a new light and earn her love.

Amidst the chaos of chasing a murderer, can Elizabeth and Darcy still experience the euphoria of falling deeply in love?

Authors Note: If you like your romance sweet and with a side of intrigue, this Pride and Prejudice variation is for you. Murder on a Wednesday is a is a standalone HEA, where the road to true love is complicated by assumptions and murder.

Good if you think of this as a mystery

The virtual narration is of course, nowhere near as good as a real voice actor. The plot is pretty interesting, especially if you think of this as a mystery novel, not as a regency era novel. There were some things like Elizabeth staying at Rosings without a chaperone that would not have been true at the time but who cares it’s a fun romp.

Original story.

The virtual voice drags the overall experience down. But some of that was actually funny.

I really like this author’s writing. She writes insightful passages, both verbal and interior dialogue that I enjoy reading. The mystery kept me listening to find out how the murder was carried out, we were all pretty sure who dunnit. I came to really appreciate Lady Catherine here, or sympathize with her.

The story could be tightened up just a smidge.
It’s going to come down to whether you will tolerate the virtual voice. It’s not going away. I’m not fond of it. My reason for listening won’t sway anyone. But it’s great JAFF.
