Pride and Premeditation by Tirzah Price
5.0
Lizzie Bennet wants nothing more than to be a solicitor at her father's firm, and for Mr. Collins to stop stealing credit for her sleuthing skills. Mr. Bennet agrees to give Lizzie a chance, provided she finds her own case and solves it first. So when Mr. Bingley is accused of murder Lizzie attempts to convince him to let her be his solicitor, however Mr. Darcy is already representing him, and he and Lizzie have different ideas of how to clear his name. Bingley hires both of them and they have to start working together to share their information and get their client's charges cleared.
I really loved this re-imagining of pride and prejudice. It stayed faithful to the original while giving Lizzie more to do in her time period. Although it is not historically accurate it is a really fun imagining of what the regency era would be like if Lizzie were able to hold a job and be an excellent detective. I thought that the author worked the characters in well and that the story resolved itself nicely. I am really excited for her next book in this same series!
