So I don't think I've read p&p but I have definitely read sense and sensibility. So first of all I appreciated how well the author wrote in the style of Jane Austen. Once I got into it,I really quite enjoyed it as a light easy read. I felt most of the way through like I was missing something about why Wickham was so out of favour with everybody and having gone on sparknotes to get more detail on his p&p story I didn't learn anything. So I don't know if that made my reading experience different?
But I did guess the killer quite early on just not the reasoning.
Because I don't read much historical fiction I actually enjoyed reading how they dealt with the murder investigation etc.
Overall I found it a nice easy read without too much depth , which tbh was just what I needed

This "sequel" to Pride & Prejudice absolutely drags. There's no risk in this novel, I couldn't care less what happens to any character (nearly all of which are peripheral and in no danger of any harm), and the drama is plodding and boring. It has solidified my stance of never ever attempting to improve upon or add to any beloved piece of literature ever.
Disappointed in the story. I was expecting a mystery with some Austen romance, but it didn't deliver. I almost didn't finish it...just kept hoping.

I could only manage to get half way through this one. The writing was stilted, the characters were inconsist with Austen's, and the inclusion of the legal explanations was contrived.

Not sorry I read it but glad that this was an library loan and I didn't pay for it.

Too slow paced and repetitive. But interesting to have “fan fiction” of a classic written as a mystery. I like the idea of it.
