It was a fun read and i will def read more by this author!! **I received an advanced reader's copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review** It is not always easy to capture the essence of Jane Austen's characters in adaptations, especially when having said characters intermingle and become suspects. Overall, Gray does an amazing job at this task, setting a house party as a scene for Austen's characters (and offspring of other characters) to come together and for Mr. Wickham to be murdered. Gray crafts a splendid and plausible story for these connections. I did struggle a bit with Gray's interpretation of Fanny and Edmund Bertram, but that aside, everyone else seemed a bit true to form. The mystery itself was fun, with amateur sleuthing, red herrings, and a multitude of suspects showing motives. I eagerly anticipate reading the next! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"After many years of happy marriage, Emma Knightley and her husband are throwing a house party, bringing together distant relatives and new acquaintances-not all of whom are well known to the Knightleys but are certainly beloved by every Jane Austen fan: Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy, Marianne and Colonel Brandon, Anne and Captain Wentworth, and Fanny and Edmund Bertram. Very much not invited is Mr. Wickham, whose latest financial scheme has netted him newfound wealth-and a broadening array of enemies. With his unexpected arrival, tempers flare and secrets are revealed, making it clear that everyone would be happier if Mr. Wickham got his comeuppance. Yet the Knightleys and their guests are all shocked when Wickham turns up murdered-except, of course, for the killer hidden in their midst. With everyone a suspect, it falls to the house party's two youngest guests to solve the mystery of who finally delivered to Wickham his just deserts: Juliet Tilney, the smart and resourceful daughter of Catherine and Henry Tilney, eager for adventure outside Northanger Abbey; and Jonathan Darcy, Elizabeth and Darcy's eldest son, whose adherence to propriety makes his father seem relaxed. In a tantalizing fusion of Austen and Christie, the unlikely pair must put aside their own poor first impressions-and uncover the guilty party before an innocent person is sentenced to hang"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
