Just as Elizabeth and Darcy have finally found their footing as a married couple, Lady Catherine de Bourgh arrives unannounced at their London residence with an unexpected they must launch her daughter Anne, along with Georgiana and Kitty Bennet, into London society. Before Elizabeth can protest, Lady Catherine abandons Anne and her companion Mrs. Jenkinson at Darcy House, leaving Elizabeth to navigate the treacherous waters of the ton with three very different young ladies under her care. As the London Season unfolds, each young woman attracts distinctive suitors. The reserved Anne finds herself caught between the calculating Marquess of Byerly and the poetry-obsessed Lord Joseph Sturt. Georgiana forms a musical connection with the perfectionist Mr. Townend, while Kitty unexpectedly captivates the dramatic Viscount Shandly. Elizabeth and Darcy watch carefully, determined to protect the young women from fortune-hunters and broken hearts. Their carefully managed Season descends into chaos when a guest collapses at a musicale in Darcy House, dying from poison within minutes. As suspicion falls upon the household, the Darcy reputation hangs in the balance. When a second victim succumbs to the same poison, the evidence points to someone intimately connected to the family. With two murders under their roof, Darcy and Elizabeth must untangle a web of jealousy and obsession before the killer strikes again. In this riveting conclusion to the Crime and Consequences trilogy, long-buried secrets come to light, unlikely alliances form, and the bonds of family are tested as never before. Step back into Austen's England, where three courtships bloom amid danger and the Darcy household must confront both obsession... and poison.

I've been writing since I was 5 years old. I've always had to set it aside and try to concentrate on so-called 'real life' though. I've had a number of interesting careers - engineer, real estate sales agent, owner of an electrical goods store, silversmith - but finally the time has come for me to return to my first love. Writing. I've always loved the works of Jane Austen, so perhaps it's fitting that my first published work should be a variation on the much beloved Pride And Prejudice. Visit my website, www.catherinebilson.com, to read several free short fics in the Pride and Prejudice fandom, and to leave me comments on my work! I also write not-for-profit fanfiction set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and if you'd like to read those free works please go to the Archive Of Our Own and search for the user handle ozhawk.
