I like almost all variations of the Pride & Prejudice theme. This was different and it was such a lovely read.
Mr and Mrs Bennett are deceased, the property has been entailed and three of the Bennett girls are living with a distant cousin in London, in respectable but impoverished conditions. Elizabeth is up north, working as a governess. Bingley has lost a very valuable statue and through a series of coincidences, reaches out to Mr Bennett to help him find the statue. The change in scenario, came when Darcy joins Bennett in the Sherlock Holmes style of detection, with many twists and a murder thrown in for good measure.
A further twist and a very pleasant one also happens and readers will be surprised how the tale turns.
A must for Pride & Prejudice fans.
