Synopsis: When a scandalous murder shocks London high society, seventeen-year-old aspiring lawyer Lizzie Bennet seizes the opportunity to prove herself, despite the interference of Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, the stern young heir to the prestigious firm Pemberley Associates.

Convinced the authorities have imprisoned the wrong person, Lizzie vows to solve the murder on her own. But as the case—and her feelings for Darcy—become more complicated, Lizzie discovers that her dream job could make her happy, but it might also get her killed.

Review: For the most part this was a fun book. The murder mystery added a cool twist to the original tale and I felt like the characters were well translated from the original to this story. The world building was also well done.

However, I had issue maintaining concentration in this book. There was a lot going on at any given time and it made it a little hard to follow the book plot. The characters were also a little flat and the way the mystery was handled wasn't well done in my opinion. I also guessed the ending about 40% into the book.

Verdict: It's good
