It was okay. Like the murder mystery part of it was good.
I guess it was specifically the epilogue that bored me. You can tell the epilogue was maybe the bit of fanfiction the author most wanted to write because it was basically just Elizabeth and Darcy talking about their relationship (as if they never had talked about it during their several years of marriage.)
Maybe it's not fair to base my rating so much on the epilogue, but that's how it is. Would've been four stars if the ending hadn't been so unfortunate.

It took sooo long to say anything in this book. I knew from pretty early on what had happened, but it kept dragging on. I found myself very frustrated with the lack of proper questioning and evidence collection by today’s standards in regency court of law (and I’m pretty sure P D James is an immortal barrister so it’s probably very accurate). Also, I missed the ladies! Where are my spunky sisters and their adventures against propriety?
Also there were things that were super repetitive and things left out. I think this book could have used another round of editing to be good.

There’s mention of Darcy’s great grandfather killing himself and a dog (twice because the author seems to have forgotten they already entered that info).argeraint's review against another edition

Was pretty long and some of the words flew over my head. I did like the descriptions of nature and the atmosphere though. And soft Darcy moments.

This is mediocre fan fiction. There were so many anachronisms, so much mischaracterization of the original characters, and no real mystery to speak of.
