I do love a pride and prejudice based book,probably more than the original.
This nicely fleshed out a few of the characters,and added a murder mystery too.
I thought it was a fun read,and it was good to see Mr Bennet get a bit more attention.
All in all,I enjoyed it.


Review to be posted at later date

A very interesting read for anyone who's read pride and prejudice and has felt, as had I, that miss D Bourgh and Mary got the the short end of the stick with the telling of their stories, and that, perhaps, there's more too them than just the sparse details we learn from Jane Austen. I really appreciated the character each was given, as well as seeing a softer side to Lady Catherine. Overall a nice story

Mr Collins has been murdered! Who is the villain who could commit such a crime? Surely it could not be Mr Bennet? It is common knowledge, after all, that Mr Collins is set to inherit Mr Bennet's estate after his death, leaving his two unmarried daughters and wife with nowhere to go...

Fans of Pride and Prejudice will enjoy this short mystery novel which follows some of the supporting characters from Jane Austen's well-loved story, although as a whodunnit it is not particularly complicated and could have benefitted from a bit more meat on its bones.

Thanks to Netgallery for allowing me to have this advanced copy!

I was rather excited when I saw the description of this book. The author, Annette Purdey Pugh, has written an beautiful novel worthy of the connection to Ms Austen!

The character that gets killed is my least favourite so no sadness there! It was interesting to see Lady Catherine again in a different light, we got to know her much better and Anne too.

This novel gets 4 out of 5 from me!
