Chasing Shadows

This novel continues the story begun in A Shadow Over Meryton, the first book in The Meryton Murders series. While written to be clear and easy to follow on its own, it is best enjoyed as the next chapter in the unfolding mystery and romance that began in Book One.

ELIZABETH BENNET knows the nightmare isn’t over. The killings in Meryton have not stopped, and neither has the town’s suspicion. Though the last victim, Mr. Wickham, may have taken secrets to his grave, one thing is certain: someone is still murdering residents and deliberately making it look like Mr. Darcy is to blame. Rumours swirl, fear spreads, and only a few know the truth. Elizabeth believes in Darcy’s innocence—but proving it is another matter.

FITZWILLIAM DARCY never cared for society’s good opinion until it turned dangerously against him. With his name tarnished and his sister Georgiana possibly in danger, Darcy is desperate to uncover who is behind the murders. But as the web of lies tightens, one truth becomes harder to ignore: Elizabeth Bennet is the only person who sees him clearly, and the only one who might save him.

As Elizabeth, Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam work together to uncover the truth, a gentleman begins to show interest in Elizabeth. Darcy finds himself torn between solving the mystery and facing what he has long denied—his feelings for her. With each new clue, the stakes rise. Another murder could be just around the corner, and the killer is still watching from the shadows.

Chasing Shadows is the gripping second volume in The Meryton Murders, a Pride and Prejudice variation murder mystery series filled with slow-burn romance, sharp dialogue, and chilling suspense in the heart of Regency England. It is the continuation and conclusion of A Shadow Over Meryton, the first book in the series.
