Pemberley’s ancient halls harbour many secrets. Which one will affect Fitzwilliam Darcy and the love of his life? How is Mr. Bennet to enjoy the comforts of a well-stocked library, when his wife’s premature demise had left him with the task of finding suitable matches for their daughters? And what of a misleading encounter on a muddy lane in Hertfordshire, that renders a country-town assembly rather more tolerable than some might have thought?

Shades of mystery, meddlesome relations - not least a drenched Adonis - raillery, old errors and a very recent union make for a challenging courtship when Fitzwilliam Darcy is not on his own ground. Yet when love is the reward, challenges make it more worth the earning.

“A fraught courtship? So, let it be fraught,” Colonel Fitzwilliam said with a nonchalant flourish of his hand. “A good challenge never hurt anyone.”

I did like the way the Bennett's life changed in this story. I did like Mrs. Bennett not being there and Mr Bennett was more of a parent. Although the Bennett sister situation in life changed I didn't like knowing that because of it Darcy was able to finally give into his feelings, not because he loved E but because who her father married....that doesn't make this story as fulfilling.

Enjoyed this book

First off, the ghost are mainly in the beginning and end of the story and not the only storyline. The main plot is that in this variation Mrs. Bennet is dead and Mr. Bennet is left to take care of his girls. She has been dead for many years. Therefore, he is more of an attentive and caring father. He's also one of the funniest characters in the book. Mr. Darcy visits Hertfordshire and falls for Elizabeth right away. She also falls for him. Because of his duty and her connections he knows he can't marry her. So he convinces Bingley Jane doesn't care for him and they both leave Netherfield. It is very hard for Mr. Darcy to stay away from Elizabeth but he does. Until he finds out Mr. Bennett has married his Aunt Lady Catherine. Everyone ends up going to Rosings Park and living together. Most of the story takes place there. Darcy is very much in love at this point and wants to court Elizabeth. She on the other hand is mad he left her and resents him for not wanting to marry her before her social status went up. She pushings him away but he won't take no for an answer. No matter what she says she still cares and is very attracted to him. This leads to many stolen kisses and an awful proposal. Anne is featured quite a bit in this book because she is now Elizabeth's sister by marriage. Ive read many P&P variations and this is the only one where I like her character. She has a love interest that isn't Darcy which is pretty cute. She ends up getting poisoned causing her to become very sick. Everyone has to come together to figure out who did it. This leads Darcy and Elizabeth to become even closer. Some criticisms are I wish it had more Bingley and Jane. They get back together right as he reappears and we don't even get to hear his proposal. Also no one ever finds out Darcy was the one the separated them and its completely forgotten about. Overall I really enjoyed it. Narrator was Amazing!

Great Story! Spoilers Below

Between every comment there is too often endless self reflection, examination, self doubt, angst, misunderstanding or explanation that continues throughout the book. Perhaps there was a word minimum due. It’s a good story, an unlikely one but a fun alternative to the original. Thankfully there is no screeching Mrs. Bennet. The ghosts allows some insights into events of the past. Ann’s illness and resulting drama goes on far too long and the culprit has a motive worthy of a soap opera. Perhaps an author should decide if they want to give weight to the mystery or the romance so as not to veer off on one for so long that one forgets the other. The story at times repeats the same inner doubts until you want to cry just get on with it!! Darcy is terse one minute and groveling the next. He is held to everyone’s expectations of him and no one seems able to accept him as he is. It seems no one truly cares about him except for how they can use him to suit their purposes. Possible exceptions Georgianna or the Colonel but even they are needy or teasing and everyone wants to change him. I have always felt sorry for him. Elizabeth is shrewish and unlikable for too long. The whole story could use a good edit. There’s much to like but more gloom than comedy. The narration is good but there is so much musing between action or dialogue that it is monotonous listening at times. Stevie Zimmerman does her best but it can be maddening and even her nice voice can grate after awhile.

Endless inner dialogue

This was a P&P vagary with a touch of the supernatural. It seems Darcy’s parents did not progress after their death but remained to watch over their children’s lives. Lady Anne, being the first to pass, had tried everything in her power to reach and communicate with her children to no avail. When George Darcy passes he has much to learn about the afterlife and is tutored by Lady Anne.

Also in this tale, Mrs Bennet has passed away and Mr Bennet finds some incentives (to his daughters) to wed Lady Catherine de Burgh whom he meets after Mary weds Mr Collins. Darcy is in a great quandary about his feelings for Elizabeth and her inferior position but changes his perspective on advice from his father, who had discovered an ability to talk with Darcy through his dreams and sympathizes with his position (from similar feelings he had as a young man).

Darcy comes to Rosings to court Elizabeth only to display his usual inept behavior and must work to overcome his poor showing. What could possibly go wrong? A poisoning, Lady Catherine’s strong willed assertion that he should marry Anne, Elizabeth’s anger at his botched proposal, Bingley’s righteous anger at Darcy’s interference in his love life, and a horde of interfering ghosts is all.

Absolutely loved the fresh and very original story line. The absurd notion of Mr. Bennet's choice of a second wife aside, the story was perfect in every way. I love Joanna Starnes, she's one of my favorite authors. The characters act much as you would expect them to, and the romance perfect. It's just the right balance of a little steamy but clean with nothing inappropriate!

The narrator is superb. Stevie Zimmerman makes this story come to life. I purchased an audio book once of a story I loved, only to vow I would never listen to it again because the narrator ruined it for me.... NOT the case with this story. I've loved every book I've ever listened to narrated by Stevie.

A story written by Joanna and narrated by Stevie is the perfect combination!

Perfect romantic comedy!

Not quite what I expected starting off but it was entertaining j feel like Ms Starnes kept the basic personalities of the characters. She brought them out well. Really enjoyed Mr Bennet, he gave me some good chuckles. I haven’t read many variations but it was enjoyable.
Stevie Zimmerman is always an excellent narrator.

An Entertaining listen.
