Undeceived: Pride and Prejudice in the Spy Game

Written by Karen M Cox

Narrated by Elizabeth Grace

"...if I endeavor to undeceive people as to the rest of his conduct, who will believe me?" -Pride & Prejudice, Chapter 40

Elizabeth Bennet, a rookie counterintelligence officer, lands an intriguing first assignment—investigating the CIA's legendary William Darcy, who is suspected of being a double agent. Darcy's charmed existence seems at an end as he fights for his career and struggles against his love for the young woman he doesn't know is watching his every move. Elizabeth's confidence dissolves as nothing is like she planned—and the more she discovers about Darcy, the more she finds herself in an ever-tightening web of danger.

Unexpected twists abound in this suspenseful Cold War era romance inspired by Jane Austen's classic tale.

Reviews for Undeceived

[Heather Ratcliff · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Excellent plot, excellent narration. Very much worth listening to for those familiar with Pride and Prejudice and indeed for those who are not.

Jane Austen got me hooked on Pride and Prejudice for life, which makes me on the lookout for any variation of my favorite romance book ever.

Imagine my surprise and utter delight at discovering this modern, and so gripping take on Pride and Prejudice. Very few authors manage to render a modern retelling of a classic novel with such maestro. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more from Mrs. Cox's work.

Listening to the audiobook version made the experience fully immersive and sublime. Thank you! ?

One of the best P&P variation books I have read in these past 2 years of reading/listening to P&P variations. Also a special mention to the narrator, she was simply brilliant.
