I don't often read fanfic, but I've been known to make an exception if it is Jane Austen related; the oldest I know being "Old Friends and New Fancies: An Imaginary Sequel to the Novels of Jane Austen – by Sybil Brinton (1913)". Of course I watched various movies taking up the Pride and Prejudice theme, and now, I listened to 'The Honorable Mr. Darcy'.

I loved it. Wickham got what he deserved, but of course he's causing trouble for poor Darcy even from his grave.

I loved the style and language of the book, it really feels as if it was written in Jane Austen's time. The author made a great effort to emulate the era in which the story is set, and she succeeded with it.

There are no sex scenes and stuff (which so many authors nowadays put into their so-called historical novels); all people behave 'properly' as was due in their time. The solution came as a surprise, at least to me, and it was perfectly believable.

Nancy Peterson did a great job with the narration, all in perfect British English, just like you'd expect the characters to have spoken, and she gave life to all the different characters.
It was an absolute joy to listen to this book, and I'll certainly look out for more books by the author and the narrator.

This audiobook was given to me by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review.

The militia are in Meryton and this includes Wickham, while the Bingleys and Darcy are at Netherfield. But when Wickham is murdered Darcy becomes the main suspect. Who can clear his name and who is the guilty party. Most of the characters from Meryton are here plus a few new characters.
An enjoyable mystery which thankfully I didn't guess, and so I look forward to the next.
