Description
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 fate-and the help of local legends Lizzie Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy-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." -Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series

Reviews / Votes
"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 ReviewsMore details
