Austen fans will find delightful nuggets sprinkled throughout, and the descriptions of Netherfield Park and later Pemberley are sumptuous enough to make the reader want to visit. The pacing is borderline perfect, and Lady Catherine's ever-present specter makes the story hum in a slightly different key than the previous books. Enjoyable and plot-driving dialogue sparkles. - Booklist "Lizzie's and Darcy's mutual respect and deepening relationship are evident during their sleuthing as Lizzie continually bumps up against the bounds of convention. The plot, which is rooted in Netherfield's history, incorporates familiar period elements, such as the planning of a ball at the estate, before wrapping up with a conclusion that neatly ties up the story's many strands. A sprawling and satisfying duology closer that will please Jane Austen fans." - Kirkus Reviews "Intriguing mystery. A treat for fans of Regency tales and stories inspired by classics.


" - Kirkus Reviews "Dialogue full of chemistry, pathos, and humor entertains as the story cleverly drives forward." - Booklist "Clever and witty, perfectly written, compulsively readable, and utterly unputdownable." - Virginia Boecker, author of An Assassin's Guide to Love and Treason "Pride and Premeditation is a romantic and entertaining page-turner, sure to delight readers of any genre." - Kerri Maniscalco, #1 NYT bestselling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series "A slow-building tale of deception and struggle against societal bounds." - Kirkus Reviews "Price's lively debut adds feminist twists in this reimagining of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. A suspenseful and distinctive read." - Booklist "Price's YA debut is a clever, twisting murder mystery adaptation that will keep both Austen fans and newcomers on their toes." - School Library Journal "An engaging mystery that will find a ready audience among Jane Austen fans.


" - Kirkus Reviews "An absolute treat. A thrilling Regency romp worth investigating." - Booklist "Choosing a less-popular Austen novel frees Price to take narrative risks and detours that enliven the proceedings. A high-concept mashup; series fans won't be disappointed." - Kirkus Reviews.
