Publisher's summary

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?

Jack and A Lady???

A Jack the Ripper type of killer is on the loose and no one, and I mean no one, is safe. This JAFF brings murder and mystery to a House Party and traps many inside while other members fall under suspicion.

Romance, suspense, mystery ( and one or two quick details of murder victims narrated by the fantastic Stevie Zimmerman. If this is your cup of tea, you’ll love this. Just be careful what you drink.

If you like mystery and P&P read this book!

This book was lots of fun. I enjoyed it immensely. The title I think is slightly misleading, but to me it doesn't make a difference. Honestly many are accused in this book. The twist is a great surprise. The one teeny tiny thing I can possibly frown at is that two or three times a paragraph repeats itself. It kinda makes you think you've gone crazy for a moment.
BUT overall it doesn't matter to me because of how much I enjoyed listening to this story. Hence the 5 stars instead of anything lower.

Maybe the best yet!

I have said before that I wasn’t a Pride and Prejudice fan coming into the world of books by Kelly Miller. And maybe I’m still not. Maybe I’m a fan of this version. And while that’s likely a similar thing there’s definitely a distinction. And while this isn’t the same universe per se as Perfect Match, or Death takes a Holiday at Pemberley... Darcy and miss Bennet feel familiar and comfortable across these three books.

This book went above and beyond. Part mystery, part thriller, part romance. And with the killer hidden in plain sight undetectable until Kelly willed for me to know.

Time for review sites to add stars. Maybe 8 will be enough.

I’m not saying much about Stevie’s Narration. Nothing needs be. She’s perfect for this time period and untouchable. If I ever decide to write regency I know who I would want to narrate!

Pride , Prejudice, and Perfection!

A delicious, delightful and charming Pride and Prejudice AU, complete with an engaging murder mystery, wonderful new characters, and genuine male/female friendship. this one's a must read.

Kelly Miller

MS. Miller has written a compelling story for Jane Austin fans. The mystery was intense, surrounding our favorite couple. It was difficult for me to pause the narrative as I couldn't find a place to stop anxious to hear what follows. As always Stevie Zimmerman was superb. I should note that on a few occasions the narrative repeated a portion being repeated. In the beginning that was a bit confusing, but soon understood it had just been another "glich". This is one I will definitely listen to again.

A book worth reading

I thoroughly enjoyed this variation of the Pride and Prejudice. It was written accurately, and the description was plentiful. If you enjoy historical romance, check it out. I highly recommend it.

Intriguing mystery

ODC fell in love rather quickly after a clear up of a misunderstanding. A serial killer attacked Lizzy but Lizzy lost her memory of the attack. A unexpected reveal of the murderer. Glad to see all the couples got together at the end.

Perfection!

I absolutely adored this book, and Ms Zimmerman does an amazing job bringing the story to life. Ms. Kelly takes the original Pride and Prejudice and made it her own. I loved it even more than the original, of which I am a huge fan! I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good, clean historical romance. Happy listening!

Great story

This book is about Elizabeth away from Longbourn. She is staying with an aunt and uncle that is new to me. There are no siblings either. She goes visiting a friend in Derbyshire. She meets mr Darcy for the second time. There is some angst. Great story and a HEA for ODC even if it ventures off the canon story line.

Well done story

I was not bored. The performance was well done and the story quite original! Well done.
