Review of 'Death comes to Pemberley' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

This is really more a response to Pride & Prejudice than a mystery. Far more words are devoted to unravelling the characters' hidden emotional turmoil and motives in that novel than to the death or ensuing investigation at Pemberley.
Read it expecting a prose dissertation on Austen and not a typical murder mystery novel, and you'll be less likely to be disappointed by it.
