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. Little do the Darcys realize that
gypsies roam these woods, or that both their possessions and
the woman are about to vanish into the
night.
The Darcys seek
out the parish magistrate, who is having a
difficult evening of his own. Mr. Knightley and his new
wife, the former 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 Darcys and the
Knightleys join forces 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.
