I loved this Regency mystery! It paid perfect homage to Jane Austen's Emma, while seamlessly intertwining a gripping mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat.
It was well-written, had great character development, and the mystery was clever and kept me guessing. Emma was just as charming as I’d hoped she’d be. I really loved the familiar cast of characters, and being reunited with them was a delight.
If you're a fan of Jane Austen's Emma and of cozy historical mysteries, you won’t want to miss this one!
I received an advanced copy from the author, publisher, Austenprose, and NetGalley. All opinions are my own and a positive review wasn’t required.

This was such a delightful read! I loved the concept and thoroughly enjoyed reading about Emma and George once again. While the prose was definitely a modern take on Austen, the characters' essence stayed true and it was just as funny as the source material.
In short, I really loved this and I'm eager to read more 'classic retellings' :)

Emma and Mr. Knightley are my favorite Austen couple so I was excited to read this book. I loved how the author took their relationship in the book Emma and expanded on it, making them so sweet and loving. The mystery was so-so, easy to guess and not much clues. This is no Agatha Christie. But I did enjoy being back with the characters from Emma.
