Suspicion at Sanditon, a new adventure in Carrie Bebris's
award-winning Mr.&Mrs. Darcy Mystery series takes
Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy to Sanditon, the setting of
Jane Austen's final work. There, accompanied by their friend
Miss Charlotte Heywood, they encounter an array of eccentric
villagers and visitors. Among Sanditon's most prominent
residents: Lady Denham, a childless, twice-widowed dowager
with a fortune to bequeath and a flight of distant relations
circling for a place in her will.
The Darcys have scarcely settled into their lodgings when
Lady Denham unexpectedly invites them to a dinner party.
Thirteen guests assemble at Sanditon House-but their hostess
never appears. As a violent storm rises, a search for Lady
Denham begins. The Darcys, like most of their fellow
attendees, speculate that one of her ladyship's would-be
heirs has grown impatient .?.?. until the guests start to
vanish one by one.
Does a kidnapper lurk in the centuries-old mansion, or is a
still more sinister force at work? As the night grows short,
the dwelling's population grows thin, and tales of Sanditon
House's storied past emerge, Mr. and Mrs. Darcy find
themselves leading a desperate effort to discover what has
happened to Lady Denham and the missing guests, before they
all-perhaps even Elizabeth and Darcy themselves-disappear.
The Regency era's answer to Nick and Nora Charles, the
Darcys once again demonstrate their quick wits and signature
wit as they search for the truth-universally acknowledged
and otherwise.
