5.0

 

Really cute follow up to Pride and Premeditation. Sense and Second-Degree Murder follows the Dashwood sisters through the old Sense and Sensibility plot, but adds a twist: their father was not a regular old gentleman, but a private investigator who taught his daughters (especially Marianne) the finer arts of being a PI. When he dies unexpectedly, Marianne suspects foul play and recruits a reluctant Elinor and enthusiastic Margaret to her cause. 

 

I really loved how all the old elements of Sense and Sensibility are woven into this new plot featuring opium dens and chemistry labs and self-defense. The narrative takes some liberties as to the reality of women in the Regency Era, but I don't think anyone should pick this book up with those sort of expectations. All in all, this was a fun romp.
