Persuaded by Mrs Bennet to sponsor a London social season for Elizabeth's sister Kitty, the Darcys reluctantly return to the glittering ballrooms and parlours 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 behaviour, unexplained absences, mysterious gatherings, questionable new companions and sinister activities lead all to wonder: who is the true Mr Dashwood? The respectable gentleman Kitty thought she knew, or the dishonourable 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.
