Missing: A book based on the characters of Pride and Prejudice
On the eve of his fifth birthday, the long-anticipated heir of the Darcy family disappears without leaving the slightest trace. While his parents sink into inconsolable grief, fate bestows upon the Daltons the son they had long yearned to cherish.
Years pass, and the boy—now a man of honour and sensibility—believes himself complete when he finds in Elizabeth the woman of his heart. Her love brings him peace and joy, and he imagines his happiness beyond compare.
But shadows of the past cannot be silenced forever. Secrets long concealed return to disturb his tranquillity, revealing a truth that threatens all he holds dear. Between two families, two names, and two destinies, he must confront a reality he is not certain he has the strength to accept. And yet, only love may guide him safely through the storm.

What if Darcy grew up in a tradesman’s family?
Lost to his birth family at the age of five, Fitzwilliam Darcy becomes William Dalton. Raised in a loving home with parents of principle and married to Elizabeth Bennet in a true love match, his life is upended by a series of revelations that explain his years of dreams and nightmares. Well written, gripping, can’t put down tale of finding the truth.

This is the second recent release from this author but I swear I have read some of it before however I did enjoy it.

Disappointing writing style
Although the premise of Missing is clever, the execution is lacking. The characters are almost uniformly one-dimensional. The action is almost entirely told, not shown. There are some inconsistencies in the story that were disturbing. I cannot recommend this novel in its current form.

Enjoyed this story
A very action packed and entertaining variation inspired by Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice by author Miranda Flan. I enjoyed it.
