"Pride and Prescience" (or, A Truth Universally Acknowledged), a Mr. and Mrs. Darcy Mystery, embroils the joyous newlyweds Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy in a mystery involving one of their wedding guests. The lovely Caroline Bingley is engaged to marry a rich and charismatic American. Unfortunately, this windswept courtship is marred by many strange events - nocturnal wanderings, spooked horses, carriage accidents, and even an apparent suicide attempt. Soon the whole Bingley family seems the target of a sinister plot, with only the Darcys recognizing the danger. Sinister forces are afoot and the Darcys must get to the bottom of this mystery before the blushing bride descends into madness - or worse.

Elizabeth Darcy and her beloved husband have found a suitable suitor for Elizabeth's younger sister Kitty, thereby assuring her a proper place in society. But suddenly Kitty's model soon- to-be husband experiences a change in personality - a change so striking that it jeopardizes both the Darcy's social standing, and their lives.

After the intrigues and excitements of their time in the city, the Darcys are more than prepared for a bit of peace and quiet at Pemberley. Finally, they can spend time together as Elizabeth settles into her pregnancy. However, serene solitude is not meant to be. First a mysterious letter from Lady Anne Fitzwilliam Darcy, long deceased, is discovered. Then a summons to Northanger Abbey involves the young couple in intrigues that threaten not just the Darcy legacy and good name, but Mr. Darcy's freedom as well. And to make matters even more uncomfortable for the expectant mother, Darcy's overbearing aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, arrives to further bedevil Elizabeth. Add to this rumours of treasure and past scandals, and it becomes obvious that peacefulness is not at home in Pemberley. Secrets and spirits of the past are, and their revelations may have a most chilling effect on both the Darcys and their family to come.

Jane Austen meets Anne Perry in a historical mystery series featuring the hero and heroine from "Pride and Prejudice". Following the birth of their first child, Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy are looking forward to enjoying life at Pemberley, but family commitments draw them away to Mansfield Park. There, the Darcys get involved with marriage arrangements, star-crossed lovers, deceit, mistaken identity, and even murder. Once again the Darcys take center stage as the Regency era's answer to The Thin Man's Nick and Nora in this delightful series by the 2007 Daphne du Maurier Award - winning author of "North by Northanger".

In Jane Austen's "Persuasion", the Cobb - Lyme's famous seawall - proved dangerous to a careless young woman. Now it proves deadly. Following their recent intrigue at Highbury, Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy visit the seaside village of Lyme on holiday. Family business also draws them there, to receive the personal effects of Mr. Darcy's late cousin, a naval lieutenant who died in action. Their retreat turns tragic when they come upon a body lying at the base of the Cobb. The victim is Mrs. Clay, a woman with a scandalous past that left her with child - a child whose existence threatened the inheritance of one of her paramours and the reputation of another. Did she lose her balance and fall from the slippery breakwater, or was she pushed? Mrs. Clay's death is not the only one that commands the Darcys' attention. When Mr. Darcy discovers, among his cousin's possessions, evidence that the young lieutenant's death might have been murder, he allies with Captain Frederick Wentworth (hero of Jane Austen's Persuasion) to probe details of a battle that took place across the sea...but was influenced by a conspiracy much closer to home.

Mr. and Mrs. Darcy are looking forward to a relaxing stay with dear friends when their carriage is hailed by a damsel-in-distress outside of the village of Highbury. When the Darcys leave the carriage to aid the woman, their servants are knocked unconscious and their possessions, along with precious family heirlooms are stolen. When they turn to confront the woman, she has vanished into the night. The Darcys go in search of the town magistrate, who is having a difficult evening of his own. Mr. and Mrs. Knightly (formerly Miss Emma Woodhouse, the heroine of Jane Austen's Emma) are hosting a party to celebrate the marriage of their friends, Mr. Frank Churchill and Miss Jane Fairfax. During dinner, Mr. Edgar Churchill, uncle and adoptive father of the groom, falls suddenly ill and dies. The cause of death: poison. When the quick-witted Darcys and the well respected Knightleys team up to investigate the crimes, they discover that the robbery and Edgar Churchill's death may be connected. Together they must work to quickly locate the source of the poison and the murderer's motive - before the killer can strike again.
