When a scandalous murder shocks London high society, seventeen-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.

My Review: Mystery and Austen come together in a new story that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you turn each page. I loved the characters and the pacing was perfect. I am so glad that this is a series because I will devour the next one when it comes out! I will say that I was lost a few times as the story because of word choices. It made me feel like I was taken out of that time period. But overall it was just something to get used to.
