The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh

Juliet Tilney and Jonathan Darcy have successfully brought two murderers to light and their involvement in such affairs has drawn notice, and in some cases, censure. Despite her disapproval of such activities, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Jonathan’s great-aunt, summons them both, insisting that someone is out to kill her. Anyone familiar with this Pride and Prejudice character will be unsurprised that the unpleasant woman has enemies. Jonathan and Juliet are eager to conduct another investigation and spend more time together. Neither Fitzwilliam Darcy nor Henry Tilney is overjoyed with the danger of another murder investigation or a potential marriage between their children, yet they and their offspring arrive at Rosings Park to serve Lady Catherine. Soon, though, the young sleuths begin to wonder at the true intent of the incidents that brought them there, but another attempt on Lady Catherine’s life disabuses them of the notion that the goal is anything less than murder.
