This was a wonderful use of Jane Austen's beloved characters from Pride and Prejudice! While it is definitely helpful to have read the original novel, James does a good job of summarizing the relevant elements. I enjoyed the mystery and drama, and of course the Austen-esque happy ending .
Minor: Death, Infidelity, and Blood
The title serves as a warning in itself; this is a murder mystery so there are (brief) mentions of blood and death.
