In this murder-mystery mash-up of Jane Austen's classic Mansfield Park, Fanny Price isn't the meek woman you may recall, but a spoiled, condescending, and generally hated heiress. Then there's Mary Crawford, who's become a sweet-natured young lady. New to the mix is a charismatic London "thief-taker," who's hired to solve a murder. Jane Austen fans who don't mind someone reworking her classic stories will appreciate this book, as author Lynn Shepherd wonderfully captures Austen's writing style.
