About this listen

One of BuzzFeed's best YA books of 2021!

Perfect for fans of the Lady Janies and Stalking Jack the Ripper, the first book in the Jane Austen Murder Mysteries trilogy is a clever retelling of Pride and Prejudice that reimagines the iconic settings, characters, and romances in a thrilling and high-stakes whodunit.

When a scandalous murder shocks London high society, 17-year-old aspiring lawyer Lizzie Bennet seizes the opportunity to prove herself, despite the interference of Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, the stern young heir to the prestigious firm Pemberley Associates.

Convinced the authorities have imprisoned the wrong person, Lizzie vows to solve the murder on her own. But as the case - and her feelings for Darcy - become more complicated, Lizzie discovers that her dream job could make her happy, but it might also get her killed.

Three of Jane Austen’s classic novels receive a murder mystery makeover in this romantic and thrilling three-book series that’s perfect for fans of The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy.

Pride and Premeditation is followed by Sense and Second-Degree Murder, in which aspiring scientist Elinor Dashwood and her sister Marianne, a budding detective, work together to solve the mystery of their father’s murder.

love the story for that time period where women's role were housewives, nannies, governess, following society gossip. However Lizzie was determined to do something with her life other than marrying the first available man that her Mother was determined to set her up with. Quite enjoyable! A good read!

HOORAY for a strong minded female!

So much fun! This well crafted cozy mystery, including everyone’s favorite characters from Pride and Prejudice, is a joy to listen to! The mystery is wonderful, the setting ideal and the solution so satisfying. I so hope that the author writes many more. There is one other book in the series that I am aware of. Will be reading that soon. One of my favorite reads of 2022.

Superb

The plot was so good and for once in my life I couldn’t quite figure out who the murder was until the very end. I read this book for a book club but not I’m completely in love with this book and will be reading more immediately!!!

Just amazing

I have always told my husband that my favorite reads are torn between a good murder mystery and a well written romance. This book encompasses both in a truly enjoyable way. I liked the fact that even though I was previously familiar with Austin's characters, Price wrote them in a way that kept their basic personalities and characteristics while adding more depth. Best part was that I honestly had not guessed the who the murderer was ahead of time. Highly recommended!!

LOVED this!!

The author stayed true to Regency England in the parts that mattered, but she introduced things that showed things that should have been even though they weren’t.

Loved it!
