What if the beloved characters in Pride and Prejudice were lawbreakers?
The twelve stories in Crime and Prejudice imagine a deliciously seamy underside to Jane Austen's world. Arson, highway robbery, petty crime and murder mingle with fox-hunting, bawdy-houses, gaming-tables and transportation to Australia in these tales recounted to Elizabeth Darcy by her friends and family.
Discover why Mr. Bennet became a pug owner and a poisoner; how Elizabeth Darcy started a riot while agitating for women's enrolment at Cambridge; where Caroline Bingley found forbidden love; and, of course, when Mr. Darcy actually came by his wet shirt.
The Crime and Prejudice short stories are playful, subversive, sometimes poignant, but always faithful to the spirit of the original characters and their author's acerbic wit. These people are flawed, like us, but endearing in their struggles to overcome their limitations, particularly those placed on women in Regency England. For ultimately, it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a good fortune has no want at all of a husband.
If you like Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series, and enjoy the novels of Jane Austen, Crime and Prejudice is for you!
“With subtle wit and uncanny ventriloquism, these vignettes of Austen’s characters deepen our understanding of her novels, while effortlessly entertaining us. Delightful!” — Stephanie Barron, author of the Being a Jane Austen Mystery series
The stories in Crime and Prejudice are wickedly funny in a way that Jane Austen would enjoy. Julia Miller has combined meticulous research into the seamy side of 19th century England with a faultless ear for the voices of the characters of Pride and Prejudice to create for each one a plausible, or at least possible, afterlife that readers will find amusing and sometimes moving. — Dr Gillian Dooley, author of She Played and Sang: Jane Austen and Music
I’ll be d! A most thoroughly ingenious collection, which instantly put me in an even temper. Capital! — Professor Paul Baker, author of Fabulosa! The Story of Polari, Britain's Secret Gay Language_

Miss Caroline Bingley has long been a thorn in the side of Fitzwilliam Darcy's friendship with Charles Bingley; the visit to Netherfield Park to help Bingley learn the craft of an estate manager has all the potential for disaster. But Darcy will not shirk, for his friendship with Bingley outweighs his distaste for the man's sister. In his defense, Darcy enlists his manservant, a man equally committed to ensure Miss Bingley will not become his master's wife.

Mr. Darcy is unmarriageable. Every time he shows any interest in a lady, be it casual or serious, the lady disappears or has disaster befall her. Soon, society spreads gossip that he is cursed, and mamas and daughters alike shun his company. Some unknown nemesis keeps the rumors alive, and soon, he suspects he will never find happiness until he discovers who wants him ruined. In Meryton, a humbled Mr. Darcy finds himself drawn to a local beauty. Ever cautious that the villain behind his misfortune is watching, he takes great pains to keep his courtship a secret.

Elizabeth Bennet loathes insufferable Mr. Darcy. When a series of mishaps repeatedly throws them into each other’s company—first with her unconscious at Netherfield, then him injured at Rosings—Elizabeth begins to see a different side of the proud man she thought she knew. This tender, low-angst Regency variation of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice proves that pride does indeed come before a fall…and that, in this case, love always comes after.

Fitzwilliam Darcy takes his responsibilities seriously. He excels in every endeavor he pursues and upholds the highest standards, and he has little patience for those who flaunt their flaws like the Bennets do. Elizabeth Bennet longs for the toe-curling romance she reads about in novels. She dreams of an honorable man - loyal and generous to the less fortunate...everything Mr. Darcy is not.
