Suspense and Sensibility
Persuaded by Mrs Bennet to sponsor a London social season for Elizabeth's sister Kitty, the Darcys reluctantly return to the glittering ballrooms and parlors of the fashionable world. There Kitty meets Harry Dashwood, the handsome young owner of Norland, and they quickly fall in love. But for the Bennet sisters, it seems the course of true love simply cannot run smooth. No sooner do Harry and Kitty announce their engagement than Harry begins to change.
His disreputable behavior, unexplained absences, mysterious gatherings, questionable new companions and sinister activities lead all to who is the true Mr. Dashwood? The respectable gentleman Kitty thought she knew, or the dishonorable rogue now reflected in the mirror? A clue from Harry's family tree sends the Darcys once more on a quest to discover the truth before history can repeat itself. For if Harry and Kitty are to have a future, the past must first be put to rest.
Suspense and Sensibility is the second novel in the Mr & Mrs Darcy Mystery series, which features Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice as newlywed sleuths who become embroiled in intrigues surrounding their friends and family. Their courtship hasn't ended, and their adventures have just begun.

March 7, 2026About a third of the way through this book I lightly decided not to read any of the others. There was some flippant fatphobia that soured me on it.
The ending may tempt me to cautiously dip my toe into the next one. maybe. It was pretty exciting! Though the solve of them being magic does stink a bit, it's against the spirit of mysteries.
I'm at least going to take a break. Glad I read it, pissed me off at times.

I really enjoyed the second Mr and Mrs Darcy Mysteries - but probably not as much as the first. However, I am really looking forward to seeing where this series goes in the future.
