Price's retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice as a mystery captures readers' attention right away and holds it. I particularly liked the fact that Price incorporated each of the original characters but in ways I didn't expect. Lizzie and Mr. Darcy take center stage in solving the case; Mr. Collins is portrayed true to the original, which made me laugh as I read. Sadly, Jane doesn't have much of a role. I suggest this book for anyone who has read the original Pride and Prejudice, but even if someone hasn't, the book is a great read. |
