Pride and Peril

Mr and Mrs Darcy, the joyous newlyweds from Pride and Prejudice, have not even left for their honeymoon when they find themselves embroiled in a mystery involving one of their wedding guests.

The lovely Caroline Bingley is engaged to marry a rich and charismatic American. Unfortunately, this windswept courtship is marred by many strange events: nocturnal wanderings, spooked horses, carriage accidents and even an apparent suicide attempt. Soon the whole Bingley family seems the target of a mysterious plot.

Only the Darcys recognise the danger as the Austen genre of Regency romances mixes with the unearthly gothic threats of Ann Radcliffe and the Brontës. Dark forces are afoot and the Darcys must get to the bottom of the plot before the blushing bride descends into madness or worse.

In Pride and Peril, the Darcys take centre stage as the Regency era's answer to The Thin Man's Nick and Nora, in search of the truth, universally acknowledged and otherwise.

‘Well-crafted . . . Bebris works her own brand of Austen magic’ PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

‘Thoroughly “light, and bright, and sparkling,” in the best Austen tradition, with a dollop of murder and mayhem to leaven the whole. A delight’ STEPHANIE BARRON, author of the Jane Austen mysteries

‘The characters are delightfully true to Miss Austen’s originals and penned in prose worthy of Jane herself. The story moves from love story to mystery and back again in a most sprightly and enjoyable way. Truly a treat for Austen fans and mystery lovers alike’ VICTORIA HINSHAW, author of Ask Jane
