A review by justgrace
Pride, Prejudice, and Peril by Katie Oliver
lighthearted
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
3.5
Some parts dragged and it fell into one of least favorite tropes of Austen inspired works-- equating Mr. Darcy to Prince Charming or reducing him to another brooding hero. This book somehow did both. However, ultimately, I'm glad I stuck with this book. Even though she's annoying a lot and doesn't always think things through and he also was completely off his rocker and when he had Charlene arrested, I'm shipping Phaedra with Detective Morelli. I think they're cute together. Although, I'm pretty sure the intention is she ends up with Mark Selden. Low-hanging fruit if you ask me, but we'll see what the next books bring. :)
