Left with an estate on the brink of bankruptcy after their father's death, Lady Marigold Fairfax and her brother open a private investigation firm marketed to the elite . . . to spy on the elite. Dubbed The Imposters, Ltd., their anonymous group soon becomes the go-to for the crème of society when they want answers delivered surreptitiously. But the many secrets Marigold learns about her peers pale in comparison to her shock when she and her brother are hired to investigate her best friend's father as a potential traitor.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 7
Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist and short story writer. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. Among her most popular and terrifying tales are the many masterly ghost stories which she wrote in her early career. "Afterward" is a dramatic story of the most mysterious ghost of all. When Ned and Mary Boyne move to a remote and unrenovated manor house in Dorsetshire, their list of desired features includes a resident ghost.

Be careful what you wish for...
Revisado: 10-26-20
So... you think you want a residential ghost? Well, okay. Just be careful what you wish for!
I nearly stopped listening at one point, but something compelled to continue. This short ghostly tale softly, gently drew me in and held me fast well beyond its conclusion.
A good listen on a rainy day.

Revisado: 03-11-20
While I don’t, as yet, find these characters as appealing as Cherringham’s Jack & Sarah, I’m willing to invest in the next episode. Hopefully, Harry & Kat’s Mydworth adventures will become another addictive short read/listen!

A chance encounter in the wilds of the North brings more joy to Elizabeth and Mr Darcy than either of them dared hope for. But her world is rocked by blow after blow - and the truth would only cause him pain. ‘I must be cruel only to be kind’ is Elizabeth’s guiding precept, and she chooses her path. Yet time, circumstances and new acquaintances teach her she had made a terrible mistake. How can she regain what she had lost and rebuild a future with the only man she will ever love, but for whom disguise of every sort is his abhorrence?

Joana Starnes Austen variations do not disappoint!
Revisado: 11-11-19
Heart in my throat a few times wondering if Darcy & Elizabeth will ever find their HEA! Will they ever just speak plainly to each other? Don’t think I’ve read a P&P variation following this premise.
Joana Starnes never disappoints!

Characters from Jane Austen's novels are thrown together by fate, and all manner of unwise decisions are taken at this vulnerable time. But then their past creeps up upon them - and what is there to do but face it, and hope that their convoluted paths will finally lead them to their proper place? Friends, rivals, foes, wrong choices, and a duel - Fitzwilliam Darcy's life is never dull! The Subsequent Proposal - a story that is primarily about him - follows Mr. Darcy in his struggles to decipher the troubling enigma of Elizabeth Bennet's feelings - and to correct the worst misjudgment of his life....

A “Dramedy” of Errors!
Revisado: 09-16-19
Almost Shakespeare’s in it’s plot, The Subsequent Proposal is a mixture of dramatic and comedic elements! This book is one of Joana Starnes’ earlier Austen Variations and is a masterly blend of two beloved novels- Pride & Prejudice, and Persuasion. As the first chapter opened, I was annoyed to hear Mr. Darcy proposing to someone other than Elizabeth, but I quickly grasped and accepted the premise. And once again it’s a pleasure to listen to the gifted narration of Stevie Zimmerman!

Excellent take on Austen’s Pride & Prejudice
Revisado: 09-15-19
The author successfully guides us on an alternate route to a classic HEA. I loved riding this emotional roller coaster as Darcy & Elizabeth marry before their personal issues with pride and prejudice are addressed.
Joana Starnes is one of the best Austen variation writers I’ve read to date! This story line remains cohesive and well paced, and beloved characters are treated with respect even as they are artfully enhanced by the author.
Listeners are skillfully drawn in and held to the end by the inimitable narrative talents of Stevie Zimmerman.

Well worth a credit!
Revisado: 06-20-19
“Your pre-order is now available.” - The Audible email subject line from Tuesday, June 18th. Downloaded Wednesday; finished today, June 20th. The Brontë Plot is amazing! Every character is worth knowing. Like each of us, they are products of both nature and nurture, they are flawed, and they are redeemable!
I love a book that persuades me to look inward, leading me to be honest with myself and to evaluate my motives. And books whose characters are so well drawn that I care about what happens to them after the novel ends are a special treat!
If you haven’t read this book, do yourself a favor... Google it. Read the description on Audible, Amazon, or at https://katherinereay.com/books/the-bronte-plot/
Then buy it or borrow it and read it or listen to it!
