Story
Mr. Darcy is unmarriageable. Every time he shows any interest in a lady, be it casual or serious, the lady disappears or has disaster befall her. Soon, society spreads gossip that he is cursed, and mamas and daughters alike shun his company. Some unknown nemesis keeps the rumors alive, and soon, he suspects he will never find happiness until he discovers who wants him ruined. In Meryton, a humbled Mr. Darcy finds himself drawn to a local beauty. Ever cautious that the villain behind his misfortune is watching, he takes great pains to keep his courtship a secret.

When Elizabeth and Georgiana learned that Fitzwilliam was captured, they kept writing letters to him, so that when he was released, he would know that he had not been forgotten by those who loved him.

Story
The death of one’s spirit should come with a great deal of noise: weeping and wailing, if not thunder or the roar of a fire. Elizabeth could not have imagined a spirit forced into darkness by something so mundane as the scratch of pen on paper. Elizabeth Bennet has been certain of many things in her life: her place in society, the love of her family, her ability to choose her own future, and her ability to accurately judge the character of those she meets. Three days after the Netherfield Ball, a near tragedy shakes that foundation.

It’s rare to see a book devoted entirely to Mr. Bingley of Pride and Prejudice fame, so it was with great anticipation and extremely refreshing for me to see him in the spotlight and given more depth than just being Darcy’s usual easygoing friend. If you’ve wished for a Mr. Bingley with more spine, Mr. Bingley: Just as a Gentleman Ought to Be definitely fits the bill, yet it may not be what you might expect.
Mired in mystery and intrigue, this story gives us a fascinating glimpse into what Mr. Bingley might have been up to before he leased Netherfield and what he did when he left. I enjoyed seeing a more complex side of him, but I was a bit conflicted about how the author balanced Bingley’s good-natured personality with the vigilante role he takes on against an evil cabal. Some of his actions are shockingly brutal, and while the book does show him struggling with his choices, I wasn’t entirely convinced he could do such things and still be the same affable Mr. Bingley we know and love.
Dragan has given Bingley a strong supporting cast—a group of steadfast allies who aid him in different ways. Darcy is, of course, present, and his friendship with Bingley is well done, showing both loyalty and the occasional tension between them. But there are also other men who surround him and recognize him as a man worthy of their loyalty. Each of them contributes something worthwhile to the plot.
The storytelling is strong, but the writing isn’t flawless. There are quite a few errors—missing words, grammatical slips, and incorrect word usage—that could have used another round of editing in the ebook version. They didn’t ruin my enjoyment, but they were distracting at times. That said, I loved getting a story that focused so much on Bingley, and despite my reservations, I feel the author did a great job making this particular portrayal compelling.
I read the book as I listened along with the audiobook, which is narrated by Ben Fensome. His performance is fantastic—definitely a five-star narration in my view. He captures the charm and affable personality of Bingley beautifully and handles the darker, more intense moments with gravity. His character voices are distinct and engaging. His pace is a little fast for me, but I easily fixed that by slowing down the playback, and once I did, it was perfect.
I hate to give a spoiler, but I feel the graphic suicide which takes place near the end of the book warrants a trigger warning (one of the bad guys).
Recommend.
Mature rating due to the sometimes graphically violent nature of the content.
