Will a dire family secret lead to Fitzwilliam Darcy’s ruin?
Darcy’s heartfelt conversation with Miss Elizabeth Bennet leads to their engagement. But just when his future could not appear brighter, a dreadful revelation casts a cloud of gloom over him, threatening his hopes and plans.
And when an ominous shadow of suspicion falls upon his beloved sister, Georgiana, Darcy is compelled to determine the truth. Does her angelic countenance conceal a deviant, even dangerous, nature?
In this Pride and Prejudice variation, Darcy and Elizabeth face several grim obstacles, including the sudden death of a family member. Will these challenges drive them apart?
The Darcy Secret contains adult situations with themes of violence and a graphic description of a fox hunt.

This story is unique in the P+P genre so that was refreshing. It includes most of the main characters plus a few new ones. It was well written and follows an entertaining path. I liked the interaction between ODC and Georgianna was a big player in this one. Her character was a big uncertain in the beginning, but that is intentional. I would say it's a good book overall, maybe a great one. For me the reading was the only distraction - had certain conversations been read with different inflections they may have come across more pleasing and less awkward.
Narration a bit distracting

Overall, I really enjoyed this audiobook. It kept my interest despite having read it before and I sought out opportunities for listening that were not just with my commute. I enjoyed the affection expressed between ODC. It was pleasing that even though they had trials to go through they always trusted and loved each other.
Unlock the mystery of the Darcy secret!

After Elizabeth assures Darcy of her love, past indiscretions return to haunt him. A chance meeting with Lady Marchant in Vauxhall Gardens reminds Elizabeth that societal expectations of acceptable conduct differ between men and women. She wonders how many former lovers might return to sway his affections. Can Elizabeth be assured of his steadfastness? Or might Darcy follow the conventions of the age and take lovers when his infatuation fades?
While battling the doubts and fears that afflict any engaged couple, Darcy’s family questions Elizabeth’s motives. Lady Catherine might have declared Elizabeth’s unsuitability, yet a far more agreeable relative questions Elizabeth's motives. After all, their courtship—if one can use that term—occurred after the Gardeners brought Elizabeth to his impressive Pemberley estate.
Darcy’s sister Georgiana is reluctant to accept Elizabeth. But Elizabeth soon wins her over, and after Elizabeth and Darcy marry, the two women regard each other as sisters. Zounds! The Gardeners receive a disturbing report about Georgiana from a former teacher. Her aunt and uncle send Elizabeth the letter that implicates Georgiana in another student’s death. While the couple ponders Georgiana's involvement, the report awakens an earlier concern. A final letter from Darcy’s late father claimed a streak of madness afflicted women in his family. Did Georgiana kill her schoolmate? And if madness runs through their family, what evils might their children perpetrate upon an unsuspecting world?
Kelly Miller’s novel The Darcy Secret: A Pride & Prejudice Variation tackles alcoholism and drug use in Regency England, the perils of ignoring the class structure, attitudes toward sport, and the rise of modern psychiatry. While faithful to the characters and spirit of Jane Austen’s beloved classic, events force Elizabeth and Darcy to investigate a tragic event. Having listened to the audiobook version, I confess that Scott Fleming's female voices initially made me titter with laughter. Yet I felt his deep voice lent gravity and authenticity to Kelly Miller's family drama during my second listen.
Warning: Contains a scene of animal cruelty.

Scott Fleming is a great narrator. The well-crafted novel gives him a solid foundation for his talents and his ability to bend pitch and inflection provides a wide range of easily discernable characters and makes the audiobook easy to follow, even when navigating I-95 traffic! I highly recommend this audiobook for those who can’t get enough of Austin’s work, lovers of Regency period dramas and light historical romances.
Don’t miss this! Wonderful Austin Fan Fiction!

They marry early in the book so there’s plenty of Darcy and Elizabeth romance to enjoy. Alas, something must interrupt their peace, and a past paramour of Darcy’s rears her despicable head to cause our dear couple strife. Add to all that, a revelation from Georgiana’s time at school surrounding her conduct there, will naturally nourish Darcy’s worry about the family secret. A Darcy friend adds a touch of angst as he endeavours to know Elizabeth better. The reader wonders—will he betray Darcy’s trust? Lydia Wickham’s unexpected and uninvited arrival at Pemberley will provide a two-eyebrow-raising shock.
A compelling plot, this multi-POV variation is also supported by good dialogue throughout, along with a very good narration by Scott Fleming. I did have to slow the playback speed down a little, as I found his pace a bit too fast for my taste. His voice is great though.
Always well written and edited, this variation has all the makings of another intriguing read from Kelly Miller, whose books never disappoint.
