November 1859 At a dinner party consisting of prominent people and hosted by Dorothea Everhart, her M.P. husband Ashley dies. His doctor states it's due to natural causes but others are not so sure. It is up to Inspector Bell to investigate.

The Heir of Longbourn: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Beatrice Langford
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A Pride and Prejudice variation where Mr Bennet without an explanation leaves Longbourn. But what happens when this absence last for many months.
An enjoyable story

(The first part of their journey........ - no Meryton is north of London and so is Pemberley, there is no need to go through London. So fed up reading stories that state that Mary reads Fordyce's sermons.)
