About this listen

FITZ WILLIAM DARCY WOULD HAVE NEVER IMAGINED the depravity dwelling in the hearts of those he thought he knew best. On the run from hired killers, he is forced into hiding in the mean streets of London with the only person he can trust being Elizabeth Bennet.

LEFT BEHIND IN KENT, Elizabeth Bennet is still reeling from Darcy’s presumptuous marriage proposal when she discovers the plot to kill him. Leaping to the gentleman’s aid, she helps him go into hiding and then sets about trying to learn what she can of the plot against him—all of which reveals, gradually, new insights into Darcy’s true character.

FALLING INTO A CLANDESTINE CORRESPONDENCE, she and Darcy share pieces of their hearts and together discover family secrets that could shake the very foundations of Darcy’s being—and put Elizabeth in mortal danger. Afforded a second chance at the sweetness of love amid the foulness of evil, will their romance prevail?

STORY: I can’t fault the story, it’s a nail biting who dunnit that throws in extra twists and turns till the very end. Excellent writing, I look forward to reading more from this author.

NARRATOR: I was left scratching my head with this one and hoping they fix it with a free update to the book. Ms Zimmermann is usually spot on but for this book one is left wondering if she just banged it together in one day. The audio editing is so sloppy and throughout the WHOLE BOOK, not just one bit here of there, there are stops in narration, followed by thumps and then a repetition of the last line spoken. SERIOUSLY SLOPPY WORK!!!

What’s going on with the narrator?!

Overall i enjoyed this story with its plot twists and unique variations but i did find that Anne's behaviour was too extreme to swallow without some cringing.

A little far-fetched
