I liked this continuation of "Pride and Prejudice". It was great to get back into this world. I would recommend this book for readers who want a more modern take of the regency era.

A P&P sequel where not many months after Darcy's marriage to Elizabeth Bennet he is informed of his father's cousins death - Samuel Darcy and of a share in the inheritance of the estate.
They travel to Dorset to find that Samuel Darcy's body has disappeared and another body found on the grave.
But then more bodies are found, and some of Samuel's treasures are lost and found. With the help of Colonel Fitzwilliam can the mystery be solved.
An enjoyable read of this mystery made more delightful as the Colonel was more than a supporting role.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was a little worried about the title of this story being that I’m a huge Pride and Prejudice fan, but when I saw what it was about I sighed in relief, don’t scare me like that. This story takes place 6 months after Pride and Prejudice. The story read like a movie, and I adored every minute of it. I loved seeing Elizabeth and Darcy working together to solve the mystery. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

I am not an Austen fan but a friend told me to give this book a go and I am glad I did. The characters are as Austen developed them but somehow not half as irritating (again, not an Austen fan, but understand there are lots out there who will disagree with me). The story itself is fast paced and credible. Highly recommended.
