Good writing, a lot of fun, though totally impossible at the time period, as the author admits. Still, I needed a break from the heavy stuff I've been reading, and I might even read the second book. Wonder how popular it is with teens, reading a book set in Regency England. (

I really adored this read. It was the prefect balance between historical fiction and also a murder mystery element. I also really loved how this story adapted all the pride and prejudices characters. I also loved Lizzie as main character and her desire to be lawyer. I also loved how lizzie was the heart of uncovering the mystery. I also really loved the classic hate to love romance between lizzie and darcy. I flew through this read and am so excited to see what story they tell next!! (

Pride and Prejudice Cozy Murder Mystery = Great fun!

What a delight! Tirzah Price did a wonderful job of creating a murder mystery story out of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It is set in the same time period and utilizes the characters of P & P, but reworks them in a way to fit a cozy murder mystery story line. It was a bit predictable but still immensely enjoyable.

Less a re-telling and more a co-opting of characters and character interaction, this novel is a fun twist on the world of Jane Austin fan fiction. Lizzie is an aspiring lawyer going head to head with Darcy in the solving of a murder and proving herself competent. I enjoyed the cozy mystery aspect of this novel and it was fun to have familiar characters. (
