À propos de cet audio
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.

Don’t bother with this one
I loved Price’s first two Austen retellings, but this one missed the mark for me. The murder was entirely predictable (it is, disappointingly, exactly who you think it is from the minute the act is committed), Fanny was impressivley drippy with her dull inner monologue cycling through the same half a dozen thoughts over and over again, and the story dragged on with whole chapters not bringing anything at all to the progression of the story. Fanny’s proto-feminist thoughts and uncharacteristic sapphic desires felt clunky and like the author was virtuously shoving her 2023 values down the readers throat regardless of historical accuracy or in any attempt of authentic romance. Fanny’s character does a 180 about halfway through the book which does little to liven the plot besides leaving the reader wondering when she’ll just get on with things that are inevitably to come. The book for the most part unfortunately just turns into a broken record slugging through the same handful of dull conversations (financial circumstance of the family, what to do with the artwork, Fanny’s tenuous situation).
Really struggled to finish and only got to the end because I didn’t have anything else lined up to listen to yet.

Not anywhere near as good as the first two
Unfortunately, this story just didn't have it going on. The author deviated much too far from the original. The characters did not retain their character or personalities from the original. It just felt like too much of a stretch. It was also predictable and unbelievable.
