It's not great, It's just ok. And there's nothing wrong with that.

“Do you purposefully misunderstand everything I say, Miss Bennet?”
“Do you purposefully overlook all inconvenient truths, Mr. Darcy?”

When sixteen year old Lizzie Bennet hears about a scandalous society murder, she sees an opportunity to prove herself as a solicitor by solving the case and ensuring justice is served. Except the man accused of the crime already has a lawyer on his side: Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, the stern young heir to the prestigious Pemberley Associates law firm.

Lizzie is determined to solve the murder before Darcy can so that she can show the world that a woman can be just as good as a man. (The fact that Darcy is an infuriating snob doesn’t help.) But there’s still a killer on the loose, and as the case gets more complicated, Lizzie and Darcy may have to start working together to avoid becoming the next victims themselves.

“My, how refreshing. A man who urges me to be careful rather than tells me to stop meddling.”

I love seeing threads of a base idea woven into an entirely new tale. [b:Pride and Premeditation|53914898|Pride and Premeditation (Jane Austen Murder Mystery, #1)|Tirzah Price|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1604946060l/53914898._SY75_.jpg|76322179] is now one of my favorite retellings to date and I'd recommend it to even those outside of the Pride and Prejudice circle...being familiar with the story not required as it holds itself up on its own.

My only complaint was I didn't get the usual insulting love confession that Darcy is known for but that's only because it's one of my favorites. Super minor, really.

I can't wait to see what else Price does.

Recommended for P&P fans as well as those looking for a light, female-led whodunit.
