After the intrigues and excitements of their time in the city, the Darcys are more than prepared for a bit of peace and quiet at Pemberley. Finally, they can spend time together as Elizabeth settles into her pregnancy. However, serene solitude is not meant to be. First a mysterious letter from Lady Anne Fitzwilliam Darcy, long deceased, is discovered. Then a summons to Northanger Abbey involves the young couple in intrigues that threaten not just the Darcy legacy and good name, but Mr. Darcy's freedom as well. And to make matters even more uncomfortable for the expectant mother, Darcy's overbearing aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, arrives to further bedevil Elizabeth. Add to this rumours of treasure and past scandals, and it becomes obvious that peacefulness is not at home in Pemberley. Secrets and spirits of the past are, and their revelations may have a most chilling effect on both the Darcys and their family to come.

With "North by Northanger," Carrie Bebris seems to have made the decision not to give the latest Mr. & Mrs. Darcy installment the same darkly gothicky, otherworldly tones that she had imbued her previous two novels with ("Pride and Prescience" & "Suspense and Sensibility"), opting instead to make "North by Northanger" more of a "straight" mystery with only the slightest hint of a ghostly presence. And did this decision affect the book in any way? To the contrary, the novel was another excellent read, being both enjoyable and absorbing.
Elizabeth Darcy is happily anticipating the birth of her first child, and although she is finding it to be a bit of a strain trying to follow in her much admired mother-in-law's (Lady Anne Darcy) footsteps. So that when she finds a long lost letter from Lady Anne, the last thing Elizabeth expected was that the letter would herald a disastrous chain of events that would calumniate with Darcy being accused of theft. As Elizabeth and Darcy try to make sense of what has happened and to clear his name, Elizabeth also finds herself once again crossing swords with Darcy's difficult and arrogant aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, over a missing heirloom that Lady Anne held dear and which Lady Catherine is determined to claim for herself...
I thoroughly enjoyed "North by Northanger" and found it to be an easy, absorbing and quick read. One of the things I liked about it is that of all the Jane Austen pastiches out there, this is one series that truly captures what I think the Darcys' married life and relationship would be like. So, thank you Carrie Bebris for fulfilling my expectations.... Read more ›

Another of Carrie Bebris light-hearted crime romps with Mr and Mrs Darcy. Must admit I found the newly revealed friendship between the late Anne Darcy and Mrs Tilney a tad unconvincing, I've grown used to taking Ms Bebris's historical inconsistences with a pinch of salt but in this book the emphasis on a devotion to medieval Catholic relics sat uncomfortably in Regency England where this would have been very much frowned on by most levels of society. In many ways her 'spoof' on a classic made me appreciate 'Northanger Abbey' itself even more, where the 18th century 'gothic horror' craze, is sent up (and debunked) with more dazzling results. In truth ‘North by Northanger’ doesn’t really live up to its inventive title but isn’t a bad read if you like the series.

This is one of the Darcy Mysteries series and as the series as gone on it has got better and better. It is an excellent read I think even Jane Austen would have loved this series.

This is the third Mr and Mrs Darcy mystery by Carrie Bebris and is an excelent read as are the other four books in the series. Personally I can't wait for the next one.
