Pride and Premeditation
by Tirzah Price
Audiobooks ARC provided through NetGalley
This was a fun read! Jane Austen meets a murder mystery and amateur sleuth!
I will fully admit that I have read a lot of Jane Austen (thanks to university) and not been a huge fan of any so I cannot speak to any of the contrasts between Pride and Prejudice and this book but as a mass consumer of female sleuths going against gender norms of society...I loved this. I liked the liberties Tirzah Price took in order to create Jane's personality and conflict that wasn't just a "being a woman sucks in this time period." The romance with Darcy was very present and I liked the banter/tension/conflict between them.
I did NOT see the twists at the end for who was at fault for the pirating of ships and the murders. I can also really appreciate it wasn't a simple ending with just one bad person.
The cover is absolutely stunning.
