Strange Happenings at Longbourn by MJ Stratton. ★★★★★
Fitzwilliam Darcy is overhead being insulting about Elizabeth Bennet. For much of his life he would not have had a second thought.
However, his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam has recently taken him to task, regarding his haughty, prideful behaviour.
Vowing to do better, he quickly apologises to Elizabeth and the two become friends.
A friend is precisely what Elizabeth will need in the weeks to come.
Longbourn has long been home to the Bennet family. However, the once welcoming and bright house begins to fall under shadow.
It starts with missing trifles. The thefts of one half of every pair of gloves belonging to Mrs Bennet, seem mischievous rather than malicious.
Odd noises and footsteps in the night are unsettling, but in an old house with many servants, a rational explanation can be found.
Darcy and Elizabeth find out secrets in the history of Longbourn.
Their friendship turns to romance as they work together to resolve the increasingly alarming mystery.
This starts off as intriguing mystery but soon becomes disturbingly gothic.
Contains a swoon worthy Darcy and smart, rational Elizabeth.
Absolutely thrilling!
