How I Got It: I own it

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 mysterious plot, with only the Darcys recognizing the danger.

I finally convinced myself to read one of the Jane Austen sequels. This one was a mystery story featuring the characters from Pride and Prejudice. Overall I found it a fairly decent mystery novel. The characters are true to their real Austen selfs. The mystery is intriguing. The setting in London and Netherfield is fairly fun. I was okay with the book until the last 30 pages. The ending to too unbelievable. I was very disappointed. Because of my thoughts those last few pages, I will not be continuing on in this series.
