Publisher's summary

Lizzy Fitzwilliam was twelve years old when her life was dramatically altered. When highwaymen caused her family's carriage to overturn, her parents and elder sister were killed. Lizzy was left injured, her legs having been broken badly in the accident. Five years later, pieces of jewelry which had been stolen that day are pawned in London. This sends the Fitzwilliam and Darcy families on a journey to discover the truth of the accident, learning that the robbery was only a cover for what they discover was a plot to eliminate Lizzy and her family. Will the culprits return and finish what they started? What will happen now that she is engaged to her cousin, Fitzwilliam Darcy?

Good story. A few small issues.

This was a fine story. I enjoyed it. I thought upon downloading this book and the other variations using virtual voice that I would hate that narration but it was not that bad. I will be sending Audible feedback on that as it really has nothing to do with the story. I actually appreciate that the virtual voice option is probably less expensive but it also may give me access to stories I like as part of my Audible membership.

As far as the story goes it was great and a more unique variation of P&P. The only issue I have is with the renaming of some of the characters. I am not sure we ever actually know the Matlock's names so as far as the new characters go, no issue at all It was confusing though that some of the characters did not have the names that are so often used by variations that they have basically become canon. I know that nowhere in P&P do we know Mrs. Gardiner's first name but in the variations, which are extensive, she is known as Madeline. I know you want to put your own mark on the story but when she was being referred to I often got taken right out of the story to try and remember who that person was.

That suggestion is really a bit of a nitpick though. I enjoyed the story and would recommend it for all P&P variation fans.

Dull

Very dull - I could not get into it. The characters were flat and the chemistry between Darcy and Elizabeth is very weak. I think the poor virtual voice production is the main reason the book was dull. Perhaps a real person could have put the emotion into the story and the characters.
