In this suspenseful sequel, Jonathan Darcy and Juliet Tilney reunite to tackle a new mystery: the poisoning of Willoughby’s new wife. Catherine and Henry Tilney are apprehensive about sending their daughter Juliet into the world again, especially after her previous involvement in a murder case. Juliet plans to visit her friend Marianne Brandon, who has returned to Devonshire amidst scandal, particularly with Willoughby moving in nearby with his bride. Meanwhile, Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy are pleased that their socially awkward son, Jonathan, is invited to stay with his former bully, John Willoughby. Jonathan is less enthusiastic about this arrangement until he reunites with Juliet, his fellow amateur sleuth. The situation escalates when Willoughby’s wife dies mysteriously at a welcoming party, leading to swirling rumors and heightened suspicion around Marianne, who has her own troubled past with the deceased. As Jonathan and Juliet investigate, they gather clues and narrow down suspects, but unsettling occurrences suggest that the murderer may strike again. The duo finds themselves in greater danger than they anticipated, prompting a race against time to uncover the truth before it’s too late.
