Takes every opportunity to breathe new life into one of literature’s most beloved couples.
Mr. Darcy bears a heavy load of responsibility caring for his estate and his cherished younger sister. His duties leave him little time for flighty socialites or even, sometimes, common niceties. Miss Elizabeth Bennet is an unusually independent woman with no false notions about matrimony. When the two find themselves guests at a well planned summer house party, the unlikely friendship that results surprises both of them. Although talk of marriage abounds among the smartly chosen guests, it is a shocking crime that really takes center stage in this dynamic tale. With a murderer on the loose, nobody is safe and everyone is suspect. Will pride be Elizabeth’s downfall or will she take heed of the sound advice of a friend?
Accusing Mr. Darcy sets the bar high for fan-fiction in this innovative look at some timeless characters. The author doesn’t simply rely on the personas laid out in Austen’s original work. Instead, Kelly Miller takes every opportunity to breathe new life into one of literature’s most beloved couples and adds an air of suspense with a killer on the prowl. Fans of Pride & Prejudice will find so much more than a clever variation in this fresh take on a classic novel. The background stories have changed, making for some interesting new dynamics and a completely original love story. The prose is as rich and warm as a fine brandy, while the setting is elegant and refined. Take a glorious step back in history and enjoy the resplendency of Accusing Mr. Darcy.
