The fifth book in New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray’s Jane Austen sequel series, which finds amateur sleuths Jonathan Darcy and Juliet Tilney investigating a suspicious murder at Netherfield Park After a disastrous Season and a (somewhat) successful investigation, Jonathan Darcy has recovered from the wound he received in London three months prior. But his parents aren’t over the shock, nor ready to reexamine their belief that Jonathan must stop these dangerous investigations with Miss Juliet Tilney—particularly now that she is a young lady of ruined reputation. He prays for some opportunity to be with her again…and then his prayers are answered. Unfortunately, this comes in the form of his uncle Charles Bingley’s brother-in-law, Mr. Hurst, being found murdered at Netherfield Park. His Aunt Jane is desperate for answers, which means Jonathan’s family must ask Miss Tilney to Netherfield to investigate! Juliet, still reeling from her newfound ruination, is happy to be back in the thick of an investigation—and in the company of Mr. Darcy. Unfortunately, the scheming Caroline Bingley Allerdyce and her daughter Priscilla feel the same, leaving the sleuths to not only look for clues but also dodge their machinations. Then, Mr. Hurst proves to be but the first victim, casting a pall of danger—and worse, scandal—over the Bingleys' household. Jonathan and Juliet must find the culprit—and perhaps even more momentously, make a final choice between respectability…or love.
