Elizabeth's Deception

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Kate Speck

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Elizabeth is not a Bennet daughter but is pretending to be after her own father is murdered. Will Darcy be able to overcome his pride to attach himself to a poor woman of obscure origins? Who killed Elizabeth's father and how will her deception be revealed? Rated T for minor violence and innuendo

Interesting Story

The virtual voice could have been worse. I have certainly heard worse. The story was interesting and I have read it twice.

Great read

This was a mystery with a little bit of angst to it. An interesting take on pride and prejudice. Elizabeth is not a Bennet. She is mr Bennet’s niece. Good Jaff

Okay

Needed a real person narration. That would have made it better.
I couldn’t tell who was talking some times. Also Darcy and Elizabeth fell in love too quickly

Amusing Mystery

It is always fun to see Darcy disdainful and jealous before he recognizes his true feelings while Elizabeth is unaware and full of her own pride as well. In this story, the angst was enjoyable because there was the feeling that Elizabeth was not powerless. The mystery of her circumstances gave her a strong sense of self that was empowering. The overall mystery and revelations were very entertaining. Elizabeth's interactions with Mr. Collins and even Caroline Bingley were hilarious. Any story with a comeuppance without redemption for Caroline will always be a favorite. Though the eventual comeuppance with redemption for Darcy is always most enjoyable. Virtual Voice selection was very well matched to the story, especially at 1.1x speed.
