A review by elizabaum
The Honorable Mr. Darcy by Jennifer Joy
4.0
Reread 12/17/17
Listened to the audiobook this time around, and it was pretty good. Not my favorite narrator, but certainly not bad.
Original read 1/1/17
I've read several of this sort of story now, where one of our favorite characters is accused of a crime while the other strives to prove it wrong, and I've decided I like it almost as much as forced marriages and injuries. Nothing like life-threatening danger to make Elizabeth come around a little faster! I liked that Elizabeth started to think a little better of him even before she knew the truth about Wickham, and their interactions were very satisfying. My only real complaint about the story is that the revelation of the murderer sort of came out of left field. Other characters and the things of which they were guilty came to light, and those made sense, but the murderer was not someone I could have possibly guessed based on the clues given. That always takes a little fun out of it.
