The third book in the Mr. Darcy & Miss Tilney Mystery series which finds the amateur sleuths
facing their most daunting challenge yet: preventing the murder of the imperious Lady Catherine
de Bourgh. Someone is trying to kill Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Esteemed aunt of Mr.
Fitzwilliam Darcy generous patroness of Mr. William Collins a woman of rank who rules over
the estate of Rosings Park with an unimpeachable sense of propriety—who would dare ? Lady
Catherine summons her grand-nephew Mr. Jonathan Darcy and his investigative companion Miss
Juliet Tilney to find out. After a year apart Jonathan and Juliet are thrilled to be
reunited even if the circumstances—finding whoever has thus far sabotaged Lady Catherine's
carriage shot at her and nearly pushed her down the stairs—are less than ideal. Also less
than ideal: their respective fathers Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy and Mr. Henry Tilney have
accompanied the young detectives to Rosings and the two men do not interact with the same
felicity enjoyed by their children. With attempts against Lady Catherine escalating and no
one among the list of prime suspects seemingly capable of committing all of the attacks the
pressure on Jonathan and Juliet mounts—even as more gentle feelings between the two of them
begin to bloom. The race is now on to provoke two confessions: one from the attempted murderer
before it is too late—and one perhaps of love.
