“I sense something of import is underfoot….” so says Mr. Bennet to Elizabeth.
Grab a snack and your favourite drink, before sitting down to read Book 3 of the Meryton Mysteries…you will not want to be interrupted! It is also recommended that you first read Book 1 (The Honorable Mr. Darcy ) and Book 2 (The Indomitable Miss Elizabeth).
The story opens at the wedding breakfast of Charlotte and Colonel Fitzwilliam and Jane and Charles Bingley, hosted by Sir William Lucas and Mrs. Lucas. Love and laughter flows among most of the guests, but Mr. Bennet is not himself. He is trying very hard not to put a damper on the festivities. He has vowed to improve his selfish indolent ways when it comes to the happiness of his daughters. The celebration is small due to the recent loss in the Bennet family. The guests include Mr. and Mrs. Hurst, Miss Caroline Bingley, Mr. and Mrs. Philips, Mr. Tanner, Mr. Darcy, Mr. Collins and most of the Bennets.
However, during dinner, Mr. Bennet starts looking ill and both Darcy and Elizabeth are feeling as if Mr. Bennet is trying to delay their nuptials. He has requested that they wait until Jane and Charles return from their wedding trip…thirty days. This will be the longest thirty days for both! It is not long though before Mr. Bennet starts having more ‘incidents’ and everyone starts to wonder who is trying to harm him!
On top of all this, Miss Georgiana Darcy and Mrs. Annesley finally arrive and are invited to stay at Longbourn. Lydia, who has focused her attention on their new King Charles Spaniel puppy, Chloe, becomes close to Georgiana and the two are found sharing secrets they will not divulge! Oh what a tangled web that turned into! Mr. Collins has returned to stay at Longbourn again, as he had worn out his welcome at the vicar’s in Meryton. Needless to say, Elizabeth is at her wits end and you could just feel her frustration!
Oh the suspense in this story had me quickly turning the pages trying to pick up clues as to who the culprit was (I briefly thought it might be a certain person)…and there were several. Some were acting out of character and some were coming under scrutiny for their actions…but no true motive was being found. Even Elizabeth felt the tension…
“Reaching for the handle on her door, she paused. The skin on Elizabeth’s arms tingled and she hesitated before shaking the fleeting suspicion off.”
I loved the chemistry between Darcy and Elizabeth. When in each other’s presence, you could feel the sparks between them. There was such shared sense of being between them.
“Elizabeth’s eyes flickered like the flames warming him, full of mischief. She arched one eyebrow and bobbed her head as if to say, “Well played, William.”
The further development of Darcy and Mr. Tanner’s relationship was delightful. I would love to see more of him and his love interest…maybe his own book…hint, hint, nudge, nudge?
There were several subplots that kept this story fast paced and on your toes! There was never a dull moment and the when the true culprit was revealed…let’s just say it was brilliant!
The only quibble I have is with Caroline Bingley’s final role in this story…it didn’t feel right to me.
Overall, I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend the whole series!
I received an ARC of this book for a fair and honest review.
