Bebris does a wonderful job in not only bring the characters to life, but also in maintaining the qualities of personality and integrity that made them live for us beyond the covers of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. The mysteries usually revolve around some sort of event that on the surface seems to have a mundane explanation; however, the mystery can also have a supernatural explanation. Darcy, of course, favors the rational or intellectual explanation of events. Elizabeth, while understanding the logical rational explanation, can't help but wonder if perhaps more is involved than meets the eye.

So, the book builds tension between these two methods as they do all in their power to help the people they care about and positively interact with, from making errors that could impact others. That Bebris pulls this off admirably while keeping the reader entertained, not overstepping the boundaries of the time period, or flouting Jane Austen canon.

If you've ever wondered what happened after Darcy and Elizabeth married and you like mysteries, especially those with just a touch of the supernatural, give Suspense and Sensibility a try.
