A review by kdrhoton
The Murder of Mr. Wickham by Claudia Gray

3.0

Overall, this was an enjoyable read that I think will satisfy fans of Jane Austen and/or murder mysteries. The way that the author weaved together all the characters from Austen’s six novels was really clever, and I loved watching these characters interact. I also think the author did an admirable job of portraying the language of the time, not an easy task to accomplish.

I found the mystery aspect of the story to be kind of boring, as it seemed as if the same two or three pieces of evidence were just theorized about over and over and over again. The ending was also a bit too “tied in a bow” perfect for me, but I can see how it would appease Austen fans.

Thanks to NetGalley and Vintage Books for the advanced copy.
