Summary
April 1812 - On being alerted of Jane Bennet's persistent melancholy by her sister Madeline Gardiner, Mrs Bennet travels to London in order to bring some cheer to her daughter. Once there, she overhears a conversation between her two elder daughters and becomes aware of Caroline Bingley's perfidy in keeping the truth of Jane's visit to their home from her brother.
Determined to set matters to right, Mrs Bennet immediately undertakes a visit to the Bingleys. In her eagerness to bring about a meeting between the separated lovers, she is careless of her surroundings and suffers an accident. Unfortunately, she does not survive the accident and passes on from the mortal world...or does she? What if she needs help to truly pass on to the other world? Help of the cold and arrogant Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy. Will he agree to help and what happens if he does decide to do so?

A great story
A very enjoyable story. It is excellently narrated by Harry Frost. His female voices are brilliant, especially that of Mrs Bennet and Lydia.

A good book with excellent narration
An interesting story which was generally well written. The real success however is the narration. Harry Frost has become an excellent narrator in this field - his Mrs Bennet is spot on!

An unlikely alliance!
Mrs. Bennet travels to London to try to put things right between her daughter Jane and Mr. Bingley. Unfortunately, before she can do so, she’s knocked down by a passing carriage outside the Bingley home and doesn’t survive her injuries. The problem that arises is that she can’t pass on to the next world without help. Who does she choose? You’d expect it to be Elizabeth, most likely but no. It’s none other than the man she regards as proud and disagreeable - Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy! He’s the only one who can see and hear her.
This is such a funny, if short-ish, tale! It’s beautifully written by S. Neha, the first of their works that I've the pleasure to read or listen to. Once again, Harry Frost turns in a remarkable performance. The voices for each character are distinct and his female voices are managed without a hint of the falsetto that sometimes occurs in male narrators. His Darcy, in particular, is full of dry, put upon humour when having to deal with Mrs. Bennet. Needless to say, she sometimes pops up at the most inappropriate times!
I'd definitely recommend this if you want a shorter Austenesque listen but with all of the quality of something longer.
