Elizabeth Bennet first encounters Sherlock Holmes at a public ball, where both are intrigued by the other. Although she finds him to be abrasive and uncouth, she cannot help but admire his ability to discover secrets and scandals with nothing more than a glance. At a private ball, an officer is mysteriously murdered, his killer leaving little evidence behind. Holmes and Bennet join forces to solve the case, and as they dive deeper into the murder victim’s sordid past, they discover truths about those closest to them that they may have preferred to have kept hidden.

Publisher's summary
The Adventure of the King’s Portrait - A Sherlock Holmes & Elizabeth Bennet Mystery
Has Sherlock Holmes met his intellectual match in the form of Irene Adler? As Holmes struggles to learn more about this mysterious Moriarty, Elizabeth worries that the man might not really exist at all, and that even if he does, he will only drive her friend into obsession and endless frustration. But help could come from unexpected sources, including possibly their latest client, the King of Bohemia.
With a few possible scandals already hidden away, the king needs the assistance of Holmes and Bennet to deal with one last possible scandal before his impending political marriage. He once carried on a dalliance with a famous opera singer known as Irene Adler and now needs the help of the detectives to retrieve an incriminating photo from her. Holmes is happy to take the case, both because it intrigues him and because the king can give him information on Moriarty. But Elizabeth is less sure - this Adler seems cleverer than Holmes is preparing for. Could it be that Holmes is about to meet his intellectual match and, for the first time, find himself on the losing end of the case?
The Holmes and Bennet Mysteries:
- Death at the Netherfield Park Ball
- The Mystery of the Indian Diadem
- The Peculiar Doctor Barnabus
- The Apparition at Rosing’s Park
- The Shadow of Moriarty

What's Georgiana Darcy's story? Jane Austen tells us so little in Pride and Prejudice that we're left to wonder. How did the early loss of her parents shape Miss Darcy's character? And what about her near-disastrous affair with Mr. Wickham? Is that the true source of her shyness? She adores her brother and his new wife, Elizabeth, but will their guiding influence be enough to steer Georgiana clear of new trouble as she comes of age and falls in love again?

When Elizabeth Bennet first knew Mr. Darcy, she despised him and was sure he felt the same.

Fun Short 1+ Hour Mystery, Unlikely Partners
While based on a preposterous premise of a partnership between Jane Austen (Elizabeth Bennett) and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle characters (Sherlock Holmes), this audiobook is a delightful one+ hour mystery where Jane meets Adler.
