It was okay. Like the murder mystery part of it was good.
I guess it was specifically the epilogue that bored me. You can tell the epilogue was maybe the bit of fanfiction the author most wanted to write because it was basically just Elizabeth and Darcy talking about their relationship (as if they never had talked about it during their several years of marriage.)
Maybe it's not fair to base my rating so much on the epilogue, but that's how it is. Would've been four stars if the ending hadn't been so unfortunate.
