  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;Pride and Prescience (Or, A Truth Universally Acknowledged)&lt;/i&gt;, a Mr. and Mrs. Darcy Mystery, embroils the joyous newlyweds Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy in a mystery involving one of their wedding guests.

The lovely Caroline Bingley is engaged to marry a rich and charismatic American. Unfortunately, this windswept courtship is marred by many strange events-- nocturnal wanderings, spooked horses, carriage accidents, and even an apparent suicide attempt. Soon the whole Bingley family seems the target of a mysterious plot, with only the Darcys recognizing the danger.  Sinister forces are afoot and the Darcys must get to the bottom of the plot before the blushing bride descends into madness--or worse.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Let me first qualify this review by saying that we will be hard pressed to find a Jane Austen spin off novel that can attempt to reach the high level where we have placed Jane Austen’s original novels. That said, I think that Pride and Prescience by Carrie Bebris is one of the few spin offs that I...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20972746">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[These books are different from Jane Austen Mysteries of Stephanie Barron in that the author, Carrie Bebris, places actual characters of Austen's novels into mysterious situations.  In creativity and language, however, they are very similar.<br/><br/>I have to admit, I was absolutely delighted with...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27708422">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Although suffering from a cutesy title, this book was surprisingly good for a debut. The characterization was particularly strong in the opening chapters, with many endearing explorations of the Lizzie/Darcy relationship. Bebris also included a great running joke about Jane and Bingley’s talent fo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20515627">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ever since I read Pamela Aidan books about the &quot;Pride and Prejudice&quot; from Darcy's point of view, I've noticed a lot of different variations and continuations of the &quot;Pride&quot; story.  Jill introduced me to this mystery series that is based on Mr &amp; Mrs Darcy after the events of &quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19714206">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So I am all for the Jane Austen revival right now, and I think some authors out there are doing interesting things based on her work. I love the whole idea of the 'alternate perspective' story and I'm even down with story continuation, but I think you have to respect the original work to some extent...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16712329">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The author did a good job capturing the essence of Jane Austen's writing. She then threw in some Gothic elements to tell the story. I thought this was particularly clever since Austen often made reference to the reading of Gothic novels, particularly Ann Radcliffe.<br/><br/>I would actually give t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43706387">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The first Mr. and Mrs. Darcy mystery. I’m still a little dubious about the mix of Austen characters and Gothic supernatural happenings (and I agree with the folks who said, “wait! one thing in the Epilog wasn’t possible under English law at that time!”), but it was a fun read.
