Mystery. Historical Fiction. Young Adult Fiction. HTML:

In this queer retelling of the classic novel and third book in Tirzah Price's Jane Austen Murder Mystery series, Mansfield Park is the center of a deadly accident (or is it?). Perfect for fans of the Lady Janies and Stalking Jack the Ripper.

Aspiring artist Fanny Price is an unwelcome guest at her uncle Sir Thomas Bertram's estate. It's his affection for Fanny that's keeping her from being forced out by her cousins Tom and Maria and nasty Aunt Norris, back to a home to which she never wants to return. But then Sir Thomas dies in a tragic accident inside his art emporium, and Fanny finds evidence of foul play that, if revealed, could further jeopardize her already precarious position.

Edmund, her best friend and secret crush, urges Fanny to keep quiet about her discovery, but Fanny can't ignore the truth: a murderer is among them.

Determined to find the killer, Fanny's pursuit for justice has her wading into the Bertram family business, uncovering blackmail, and brushing with London's high society when Henry and Mary Crawford arrive at Mansfield Park with an audacious business proposal. But a surprising twist of fateâ??and the help of local legends Lizzie Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcyâ??brings Fanny more complications than she ever expected and a life-altering realization about herself she never saw coming.

"Pride and Premeditation is a romantic and entertaining page-turner, sure to delight readers of any genre." â??Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series… (altro)

Fanny Price really is the heroine one could wish for in this loose re-telling of Mansfield Park. She is an aspiring artist who gets caught up in the murder of her uncle, a art forgery scheme, and complicated romantic situations. I really liked how Ms Price uses the characters in the original in new and surprising ways. ( )

I think I'm done with this series for a few reasons.

1. Unfortunately I figured out the murder mystery AND the painting forgery bit very early on which took 98% of the suspense away.
2. Fanny was VERY blasé about witnessing 2 men kissing and then in turn, her own kisses with someone from the same gender. I'm not saying that homosexuality didn't exist in this time period, but I find it highly unlikely that someone as sheltered as Fanny wouldn't have been more scandalized and conflicted by it.
3. I didn't like any of the characters in this book - that includes Lizzie and Darcy from the previous books.

I do like this author's style of writing in general, but sadly I don't think this series is right for me. (And I wouldn't call myself an Austen purist, just to be clear.)
