This book was HUGELY disappointing. I've been a devoted fan of PRIDE & PREJUDICE for many years, and usually love some of the more recent books that are written as "sequels", or companion pieces, or whatever you want to call them. This book lacked the fun and excitement of the original. It picks up after the weddings, when Lizzie and Mr. Darcy are happily married - after which, apparently, not much happens. Except that they both get involved in the plight of the workers that live on their land. And they have a baby or two. And a lot of your favorite characters reappear in this, but every one of them is as dry and dull as can be. There's no real excitement, and even the few conflicts in the book are rather dull. To be honest, I only made it about 2/3 of the way through the book before I gave up on it, and a book has to be pretty bad (or pretty boring) for me to do that. I really wouldn't bother with this book, even if you're a fan of PRIDE & PREJUDICE.

While I have greatly enjoyed this series so far, this book is probably my least favorite up till now. I still love Daisy and Alec and all the other regular characters, but I found this particular mystery just a little dull and (it pains me to say this) a little tedious to get through. Perhaps I just didn't care for the museum setting - it just didn't make for a very exciting story. That being said, I still basically liked it and certainly look forward to reading other books in the series.
