I ADORE this series! I am an avid fan of Jane Austen and love to read books based on her stories, but I have never read a series like this! Tirzah Price took the characters I knew and loved from Sense and Sensibility and placed them in a murder mystery. When Mr. Dashwood is found dead, aspiring chemist Elinor and burgeoning private investigator Marianne believe their father was murdered. But who did it? Was it their older brother and his wife who inherited everything their father had ever built? Or did it have something to do with his private investigating business? I loved trying to figure out which of the Jane Austen-inspired characters was a murderer and why they turned to murder! Also, the characters are so loveable as they desperately try to be respected for their career goals within a male-dominated field. Even adorable little Margaret was so dedicated to her writing as she takes what's happening in the mystery of her father's death and uses them in her murder mystery novel. I loved every moment of this book and couldn't put it down! I hope Tirzah Price continues to take Jane Austen novels and turn them into hilarious and intriguing mystery novels!

Thanks to Netgalley, HarperCollins, and Tirzah Price for providing the ARC in exchange for my honest review! I can't wait for Manslaughter Park to come out next year!
