This was such a fun read! A murder mystery filled with Jane Austen's romantic leads and a couple of the next generation. I'm a sucker for both mysteries and Austen novels, so I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait for the sequel! There was lovely autistic representation here and, while it is never explicitly stated (as the word did not exist at the time), you can see through context clues that one of the characters (a romantic lead) is very much autistic. If you're looking for a fun read and don't have any qualms about George Wickham meeting a terrible end, I'd recommend this to you.
