3.5

More like a 3.5/5 but I love rounding up. I thought that the actual mystery was compelling and fun and Jonathan Darcy and Juliet Tilney were delightful protagonists (also, loved that this younger Darcy is autistic). Was it a bit of a stretch to have nearly every main couple of an Austen novel involved in this murder mystery? Yes. Do I strongly object to the characterization of Fanny, Edmund, Marianne, and Frederick (everyone else felt right to me)? Yes. And yet did I have a good time? Yes, I did. Enough that I'm compelled to go get the second book from the library.
