Narrator Alison Larkin’s bright voice makes listening to this second book in the Mary Bennet series lots of fun. In Book 1, Mary, the middle and least accomplished daughter of the Bennets’ five girls in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, comes into her own. Now in Book 2, Mary is hired as an undercover agent for the British government to investigate a murder. Larkin inhabits Mary’s newfound sense of self as she works with other spies to solve the mystery, doing her best to avoid discovery. Larkin’s portrayals of Mary’s cohort, Fanny, and sisters, Kitty and Elizabeth, are spot-on, while her male characters are pleasantly believable. Larkin delivers the diction and attitudes of the early nineteenth century to perfection. Fans can look forward to Book 3, due this fall. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
When Miss Mary Bennet is assigned to London for the Season, extravagant balls and eligible men are the least of her worries. A government messenger has been murdered and suspicion falls on the Radicals, who may be destabilizing the government in order to compel England down the bloody path of the French Revolution. Working with her fellow spies, Mr. William Stanley and Miss Fanny Cramer, Mary must investigate without raising the suspicions of her family, rescue her friend Miss Georgiana Darcy from a suitor scandal, and solve the mystery before anyone else is harmed-all without being discovered, lest she be exiled back to the countryside. This is the perfect job for a woman who exists in the background. Can Mary prove herself, or will this assignment be her last?
