Publisher's summary

A thrilling novel of malicious villains, dramatic revelations, and heroic gestures that stays true to Austen’s style.

Shackled in the dungeon of a macabre castle with no recollection of her past, a young woman finds herself falling in love with her captor - the estate’s master. Trusting him before she regains her memory and unravels the castle’s wicked truths would be a catastrophe.

Far away at Pemberley, the Darcys happily gather to celebrate the marriage of Kitty Bennet. But a dark cloud sweeps through the festivities: Georgiana has disappeared without a trace. Upon receiving word of his sister’s likely demise, Darcy and his wife, Elizabeth, set off across the English countryside, seeking answers in the unfamiliar and menacing Scottish moors.

How can Darcy keep his sister safe from the most sinister threat she has ever faced when he doesn’t even know if she’s alive? True to Austen’s style and rife with malicious villains, dramatic revelations and heroic gestures, this suspense-packed mystery places Darcy and Elizabeth in the most harrowing situation they have ever faced finding Georgiana before it’s too late.

Great story, poorly edited narration

If you're a fan of Pride & Prejudice (and who isn't), you will enjoy this audio book for what it is. Just don't look or listen too closely to the way the narration is edited. There are no pauses between scenes, making it difficult sometimes to tell who the character is that's being narrated. It also is jerky, in that you're first one place, then another, without any pause or even breath between the scenes. The narrator did well, but I suppose both the direction and the editing were rubbish.

Good Read !

Very good read, however narrator terrible. !!!! I hope there is a part 3 better narrator of course !

Georgiana comes into her own but is missing

This is another mystery that revolves around the Darcy’s when Georgiana goes missing.
This is a dark story
The narrator was great especially with the Scottish accents.

Narration was distracting.

I could not finish this book because the narration was terrible. The monotone voice was such a distraction that I couldn't focus on the content.

Simply not Austen

Would you try another book from Regina Jeffers and/or Ruth Urquhart?

Not the author. Ever. The narration, however, was excellent.

Has The Disappearance of Georgiana Darcy turned you off from other books in this genre?

Partially. I will certainly be more careful.

Which scene was your favorite?

Early in the story it is enticing to see our favorite Austen characters and read about more of their life. But it quickly fell apart.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment and frustration. Could not even finish it.

Any additional comments?

I had several problems with this book. The characters changed in ways I do not believe possible, Mr. Bennet took responsibility for his family's actions, Mrs. Bennet decided she did not like officers after all, they allowed their daughter to be exiled with a vicious, wife beating Wickham. And the repeated introductions of prayer, long pages on the importance of the clergy, quotes from the Bible and scripture and everyone praying for everyone all the time, all the prayers written out for the reader. Not awful if you like to read Christian Romances, but I do not and it was not mentioned in the description. And simply never present in Jane Austen's books. Repeated quoted passages from the Austen books did not help me believe this had anything to do with Austen. Plot was silly, convoluted and unrealistic. Trash.
