4.5
Big Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for the advanced copy!!
'Murder in Highbury' is a regency mystery and a Jane Austen 'retelling', with Emma of Austen's popular novel married to Mr Knightly and now solving a murder!
The novel is rather cute and funny, even though it's about a murder case. It involves a lot of the original novel's characters and the audiobook's narrator gives each and every one a unique voice which resembles a lot the ones of the movie!
Also, the novel includes a lot of regency novel scenes other than the investigation, which adds to the enjoyment of the story.
