BUYING ADVISORY: HS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
17yo Lizzy Bennett wants to be a lawyer like her father, but woman aren’t allowed by custom to argue cases in England’s courts. Instead, the practice will go to the odious Mr. Collins, Mr. Bennet’s nephew. But Lizzy wants to make her mark, so when she finds a murder case, she meets with the accused, Mr. Bingley, and decides she must prove his innocence. Time is short, however, and she must also content with the stuffy Mr. Darcy, who is the heir to the Pemberly law firm.
I thoroughly enjoyed Price’s take on the classic novel. Just wait until you read the fates of Collins, Wickham, and Catherine de Bourgh! But YA’s who don’t know the characters as well will probably not love it as much as I did. So be cautious in your purchasing. You will probably have to hand sell to your mystery/romance readers.
Book was loaned from libro.fm for an honest review; narrated by Morag Sims.
