Vanessa Kelly brought back all of our favorite characters from Jane Austen’s - this time to solve the murder of one of their own. Per usual, Emma is meddling in the best way possible. I absolutely loved this book and this concept and found myself kicking my feet and giggling at the witty banter between Emma and Mr. Knightley, just as I did in the original novel. I recommend this book for anyone who loves Jane Austen retellings and is looking for a cozy murder mystery vibe!
