This book is some of your favorite Jane Austen characters years after you last visited meets Clue. Yea, the game of Clue. Fun and entertaining and the narrator on the audiobook did a great job.

I loved this one - just tons and tons of fun living with these characters, all in the same world! I think Gray did an excellent job finding the voices of Austen's characters, and I loved her portrayal of Johnathan. The end fit perfectly. Interestingly, I read this alternately on audio and print because I didn't want to put it down. It was excellently done on audio. I appreciated the multiple perspectives and point-of-view shifts.

“There is no joy from what has happened here,” Darcy replied. “That does not mean there is not joy to be found in going forward.”

The Murder of Mr. Wickham pulls the reader back into Austen's world without copying it entirely. Our main characters, Juliet and Jonathan complement each other well. I appreciated the nods to neurodiversity in Jonathan's character and how the Darcy's accepted him. I did not suspect the culprit and wish that Mr. Wickham would have been murdered for other reasons but I enjoyed the story overall.. If you're a fan of mysteries and Jane Austen I suggest taking this book for a spin.

The plot move very slow and because of that, the mystery became tedious and I found myself skipping paragraphs just to get through it. I like the premise but hard to finish
