From Goodreads:
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a young woman who desires a law career must be in want of a case. So when seventeen-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.
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
"Forge new paths. It is easier to be brave, perhaps, when one has examples of bravery to follow."
This was a very enjoyable read. I actually didn't know what it was about when I requested a review copy, but I'm so glad I got approved!
Price's writing was phenomenal. I love how addictive and entertaining it was. I... don't know what else to say. I do know I'll be looking forward to reading more books from the author. I also have a newfound appreciation for YA mysteries. This book was nicely done and I just love everything about it- from the cover (that pink is wow!) to the plot to the adorable characters.
Five more months 'til this book comes out, and I already want to read it again! Give me book two 'coz I want more Lizzie and Darcy!
This new twist to a beloved classic is not to be missed! Must-read!
I received an e-arc via Edelweiss+ to read and review. Quoted excerpt/s may change in the final print.
