"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a young woman who desires a law career must be in want of a case. So when sixteen year old Lizzie Bennet hears about a scandalous society murder, she sees an opportunity to prove herself as a solicitor by solving the case and ensuring justice is served.
Except the man accused of the crime already has a lawyer on his side: Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, the stern young heir to the prestigious Pemberley Associates law firm. Lizzie is determined to solve the murder before Darcy can so that she can show the world that a woman can be just as good as a man. (The fact that Darcy is an infuriating snob doesn’t help.) But there’s still a killer on the loose, and as the case gets more complicated, Lizzie and Darcy may have to start working together to avoid becoming the next victims themselves."--Goodreads blurb
Always love me a good female lead, and Lizzie puts everything on the line to prove herself to her father and all the other men in her life, as well as a lot of the women! The setting of this being so parallel to P&P (intentionally, I know) was really fun and brought familiarity to the characters. Fighting against Victorian society as a woman is never fun, but Lizzie gets her hands dirty and doesn't back down. I didn't want to put this one down and am happy there are more in this fun series!
