Story
A coming-of-age tale for the young and naïve 17-year-old Catherine Morland, Northanger Abbey takes a decidedly comical look at themes of class, family, love and literature. Revelling in the sensationalist - and extremely popular - Gothic fiction of her day, the story follows Catherine out of Bath to the lofty manor of the Tilneys, where her overactive imagination gets to work constructing an absurd and melodramatic explanation for the death of Mrs Tilney, which threatens to jeopardise her newly forged friendships.

Once trapped by marriage to a woman he loathed, Fitzwilliam Darcy is finally free again. Resentful, bewildered, and angry, he is eager to begin his life over - preferably with a woman who is the exact opposite of his wife. He never imagined a short stay in Hertfordshire would bring him face to face with his worst nightmare; a woman similar in face, form, and name. He certainly never expected her to be so impossible to ignore.

Story
One of the turning points in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is Miss Elizabeth Bennet's passionate refusal and denunciation of the equally passionate but infinitely more repressed Fitzwilliam Darcy. However, unforeseen events can lead to the most unexpected consequences. During a visit with her friend, Charlotte Collins, at Hunsford, Elizabeth falls prey to illness for almost the first time in her life just as Mr. Darcy comes to call. Befuddled by her illness, she misinterprets his proposal of marriage, and a simple nod of acknowledgment is mistaken for acceptance.

When Fitzwilliam Darcy, still smarting from Elizabeth’s rejection, discovers she was forced to flee her home in disgrace owing to his actions, his course is clear. He must marry her. It is a matter of honor. All he has to do is find her and propose. Surely that will be simple enough. But Elizabeth does not want to be found, especially not by Darcy. From the moment he entered her life, he has caused disaster after disaster. Now he has followed her all the way to Scotland, foolishly certain it is within his power to fix all her problems. But far more is at stake than Darcy knows.

Publisher's Summary
The worlds of Jane Austen and the Baroness Orczy combine in a swashbuckling tale from the author of The Three Colonels.
Captain Frederick Tilney, dashing cavalry officer and rakish heir to Northanger Abbey, is interested only in fencing and enjoying himself. That is, until he meets the girl of his dreams, the lovely and intriguing Violet Blakeney.
However, her father is not convinced of Frederick's pledge to reform and the officer is banished from Violet’s presence. The baronet has a will of iron, for he is none other than Sir Percy Blakeney - the retired Scarlet Pimpernel!
Now, during the Hundred Days Crisis, an evil from the Pimpernel's past menaces the Blakeney family while Sir Percy is crippled by age. Frederick must convince the baronet to accept his assistance in accomplishing the impossible - take on an entire country to recuse the girl they both love.

Romance, adventure and redemption
This book is a tribute to Jane Austen's novels and to the Scarlet Pimpernel books by Baroness Orczy, and a companion novel to the author's earlier book "The Three Colonels". The hero is one of Jane Austen's villains, Captain Frederick Tilney from Northanger Abbey, the heroine is Violet Blakeney, the daughter of Sir Percy Blakeney who used to be the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel, daring rescuer of French aristocrats from the guillotine during the time of the revolutionary terror in France. The story is about Frederick's redemption (he used to lead a life of irresponsiblity, flirting with women, duels and general recklessness), and the way he earns the respect of his beloved's father and the right to fight alongside the renowned hero in his last adventure. The author weaves the characters of Jane Austen, Baroness Orczy and his own earlier book seamlessly together, allowing the reader the joy of meeting these beloved characters again in a new tale of adventure, honor and romance. The historical events of Napoleon's escape from Elba and the renewed war efforts leading up to the battle of Waterloo provide an excellent background and reason to another rescue mission to France. I very much appreciated the scenes of friendship and family - Frederick and Sir John Buford, Frederick and George Blakeney, Frederick and Henry Tilney with his wife Cathy, and above all, the Blakeney family: the warm relationship between Marguerite and Sir Percy, now without the strain his secret mission placed on them during the Pimpernel novels; and the father-daughter and mother-daughter scenes. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any Regency, Jane Austen and Scarlet Pimpernel fans. The narration was excellent too: illustrating the emotions and relationships, enlivening the tale, and in general providing a great listening experience and another way to enjoy this outstanding story.

Narrator
Think the female narrator ruined the story, with the main characters being male I think a male narrator would have been. Percy, George, and Fredericks voices sounded like girls and just changed the characters. Otherwise I liked the story.
