Story
Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy has a secret. The letter he presented to Miss Elizabeth Bennet after his ghastly proposal is not the only epistle he has written her. In this tale of longing, misadventure, and love, Jane Austen’s dearly loved Pride and Prejudice, is readapted as our hero has learned a powerful way of coping with his attraction to Miss Bennet. He writes her letters. The misguided suitor has declared himself, and Elizabeth Bennet has refused him, most painfully.

Story
Fitzwilliam Darcy has had enough—enough of the ton and their speculations, enough of matchmaking mamas and their eager daughters, and enough of his family’s expectations that he will eventually marry his cousin Anne. Craving solitude and peace after discovering his sister with George Wickham in Ramsgate, he accepts an invitation to visit Netherfield Park from his friend Charles Bingley and travels to Hertfordshire, where he hopes Georgiana will recover from her disappointment in relative privacy.

When Fitzwilliam Darcy makes an impetuous offer of marriage to Miss Elizabeth Bennet, he is convinced they have as good a chance as any for a harmonious life together. That is, until an overheard conversation changes everything, and Darcy realizes he is now joined in perpetuity to a woman who loathes the very sight of him. Elizabeth Bennet's expectations for matrimonial accord were never very high, having accepted Mr. Darcy's proposal in a fit of pique, not love. Still, she is determined to make the best of her situation. But life at Pemberley is not at all what she imagined.

For Elizabeth Bennet, Charlotte is the friend who is—annoyingly—always right. Colonel Fitzwilliam is the mischievous brother she never had. And if their convictions that Mr. Darcy is in love with her are correct, he could be the lover she’s always wanted. There’s only one problem—he tried to ruin her favorite sister’s life, and she made an absolute fool of herself in front of him. Can lasting happiness come out of such a beginning? And can a man die from chasing a woman too quick to be caught? Darcy is about to find out.

Reticent to so easily forgive Darcy's boorish behavior, Elizabeth announces that she will consider Darcy's request after further studying his actions.

"It is the way of the world, Elizabeth. Men hold power over women, but I am not a man who wants to wield such power. I would prefer a woman who has some power over me". Fitzwilliam Darcy already has one arranged marriage in his past. The last thing he envisions for himself is another, yet he has somehow become entrapped in a promise to a dying man. Not only must Darcy overcome his resentment in order to live up to his sense of honour, but when he realises how deeply his heart may be engaged, he must convince Elizabeth Bennet of his true feelings.

Summary
What happens to the happily ever after when the ever after has already happened? A spirited courtship, indeed! Jane Austen's much adored Pride and Prejudice is transfigured in this regency adaptation. That fickle friend Fate intervenes when an unexpected event threatens the happily ever after of literature's favorite love story.
The gentlemen from Netherfield have left, winter is upon the land, and after a horrifying carriage accident, Elizabeth Bennet finds her spirit transported as if by magic into Mr. Darcy's London home. Paranormally tethered to the disagreeable man, it doesn't help that he believes she is a phantasm of his love-struck mind and not the real Elizabeth.
Somehow, they must learn to trust, learn to love, and learn to bring Elizabeth back to her earthly form before it is too late.

An excellent story somewhat let down by the narration
A lovely romance with excellent written narration. The story builds gradually keeping the reader engaged throughout.
Unfortunately the narration by Brady Smith is patchy at best. The accent is truly bizarre at times and the pronunciation of key words is badly done. If the narrator is going to use a British accent then it needs to hold throughout. There were many examples where this was not the case.
I would listen to other stories by this author but not this narrator.

lovely sweet story
one of my fav variations, sweet and funny, a little angst but not too much. the author is really good. Darcy and Lizzy are brought together by fate in a quite unusual way...this happens soon after the Netherfield ball. no Rosings Park, No first proposals, no Lydia's folly. darcy and Lizzy are rhe focus of the story, of how they come to know each other and fall in love. I would have liked a clearer voice of the narrator, I have had some difficulties sometimes with the slurred voice (I am not English mothertongue).

Read the book, before you purchase audio.
I loved the book. The story was enchanting, funny and a very different variation of P&P. Unfortunately the narration of it did not do the book justice. Despite the passable English accent, it was read at break neck speed, so much so I had to reduce the speed of play down to 90% in order to keep up. The characters were made caricatures due to exaggeration. Elizabeth sounded like a simpering damsel instead of the strong, witty and mischievous character portrayed in the book. Darcey comes over as a gruff misery rather than the exasperated fool in love. However, all said the story prevailed. I would have liked to have heard Stevie Zimmerman narrate this one.

Otherworldly JAFF
ODC find themselves tethered together, although one of them is possibly no longer sane.
Darcy is seeing Lizzie when she is not actually there, as though in his dreams, while he is awake. There must be a reason, or is he losing his reason?
It’s a good story as we wait to see if he will figure it out. Will he and Lizzie figure it out together, or will his family have him committed?
Brady Smith has a perfect voice for Darcy, with that marvelous baritone. For your listening pleasure, however, slow the speed to 0.80 as he is rushing through this one and the words are worth hearing. This occasionally leads to longer pauses, but the overall effect is better.

Wonderful to have this story on audio now!
I have reread this stuff so many times I’ve lost count, at least once a year, if not more. The book has just been rereleased and a great bargain. We are so fortunate to have a growing number of really top drawer authors now but when this book was first published that number was smaller, so we have been particularly blessed to enjoy Mackrory’s talents for quite awhile. But her stories seem just as unique now as when they first stood out in the crowd.
I highly recommend Haunting Mr. Darcy, both book and audio. Come, lose yourself in this narrator’s wonderful voice. Bump-ba-bump. Sigh.

Read! Don't listen!
The story itself was cute, but the audio was terrible! I'm not sure if the reader was just unsuitable or if the editing is to blame, but there were long pauses where they didn't make sense and no pauses where there should have been! It pulled me out of the book more than once. It was awful to listen to.

My all time favorite P&P variation
I love the humor and true to cannon character traits. I was a little annoyed by exact quotes spoken by one character in cannon were spoken by other characters, and by Darcy's quick removal to Pemberly, but given the ultimate enjoyment of reading such a fantastic romantic comedy, on the whole there can be no cause to repine.
