Summary

A Jane Austen heroine murdered. A literary villain turned hero. And an investigator between it all.

The year is 1814 when Fanny Price is found murdered in Mansfield Park. Once a rich heiress who was spoiled, condescending, and generally hated throughout the county. But her death is none-the-less haunting.

It then takes Mary Crawford, who is now as good as Fanny was bad, to team up with a thief-taker, Charles Maddox, from London to solve the brutal crime. But with dramatic confrontations comes consequences...some even deadly.

A twisted take on Mansfield Park, Shepherd brings a brilliantly entertaining novel that offers Jane Austen fans an engaging new heroine—and mystery laced in every chapter.

Better than the PD Jane Austen pastiche

Well, this one is of its time - not the Jane Austen time but the zombies inserted into Jane Austen novels and P D James doing a Jane Austen murder pastiche back in the 2000s. This novel is by far superior to those (sorry PD) and what makes it a superior audio is that the great Greta Scacchi, with the unique timbre in her voice, has actually done before audio editions of classics such as Austen's Persuasion and George Eliot's Daniel Deronda and has been in a couple of classic Austen films and War and Peace on the BBC. So her voice and manner is perfect for this cos she knows the territory.

I'm now on a binge to listen to all four Lynn Shepherd's narrated by Ms Scacchi - so that's no sleep until at least Monday - once again, an adaptation would have been more listener-friendly.
