After rejecting Mr. Darcy’s proposal at Hunsford, Elizabeth Bennet is surprised when he finds her walking the next day and hands her a letter. Without any expectation of pleasure - but with the strongest curiosity - she begins to open the letter, fully intending to read it. It really was an accident - at first. Her shaking hands broke the seal and somehow tore the pages in two. Oh, what pleasure she then felt in tearing the pages again and again!

SO FRUSTRATING!
Reviewed: 05-30-23
I "think" that this may be a good book. I wouldn't know because starting at chapter 10, the end of every chapter is cut off. By how much? I wouldn't know because it isn't there. You do not find out how Lydia is discovered missing or who she eloped with, although I'm sure we can all guess. How does Lady Catherine know Mrs. B? There are so many questions! On top of that, if you do not buy this book by using a credit, you cannot return it. How is it that you are not allowed to return what is essentially a defective product? This is NOT okay. Do not get this book through audible.

Not recommended

Though the story is written alright and the performance of the reader is well done, I cannot recommend this book. It portrays Mr. Bingley as an absolute idiot with an inability to focus on anything longer than a moment. He has no substance and is nearly as fawning of Mr. Darcy as Mr. Collins is to Lady Catherine.
The whole time I kept hoping that his character would evolve but it never happened.
I would like to see more stories from Mr. Bingley's point of view. I think the concept was good, just not well executed.

1st. I do realize that any reader has a difficult job. Keeping up with voices, infection, adding sighs and a hint of laughter is no easy task. However! There are word she completely mispronounced that have Nothing to do with an accent.
2nd. SKIP TRACK 6/ chapter 6! This is definitely the fault of the sound editor. The skips, the pauses, repeating the same sentences several times in a row. You can hear the reader trying various inflections (in a small way an interesting insight to the world of a reader, still very annoying though), also the snapping/clap after every retake.... gah! This starts in a small way the in track before, you'll notice words oddly repeating. It mostly ends in track 7. But track 6 may cause you to just get frustrated and not want to continue.
The gist of track 6: Elizabeth and Darcy see each other at the theater. They don't talk.
3rd. The author is great. I really enjoyed the story. The story lines were fun and I liked the tweaks to everyone's personality.

Could Fitzwilliam Darcy harbor a shocking, sinister secret? Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet count themselves among the many guests of the Kendall family, whose estate lies amidst the picturesque hills, gorges, and rocky slopes of the Peak District in Derbyshire. Elizabeth’s cousin Rose Kendall believes her dashing brother-in-law, Captain James Kendall, is Elizabeth’s ideal match. Rose’s husband, Nicholas, hopes his good friend Darcy - a rich, proud, and taciturn gentleman with a spotless reputation - will fancy one of the other eligible lady guests

This book was lots of fun. I enjoyed it immensely. The title I think is slightly misleading, but to me it doesn't make a difference. Honestly many are accused in this book. The twist is a great surprise. The one teeny tiny thing I can possibly frown at is that two or three times a paragraph repeats itself. It kinda makes you think you've gone crazy for a moment.
BUT overall it doesn't matter to me because of how much I enjoyed listening to this story. Hence the 5 stars instead of anything lower.
