Waiting On Wednesday ... Pride and Premeditation

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pick is Pride and Premeditation by Tirzah Price

Here is the Goodreads synopsis

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.

This had me sold with the premise of a Pride and Prejudice retelling that has Lizzie and Mr Darcy competing to solve a murder. I can see this having a whole lot of potential. I am certainly excited to see what will eventually bring this Lizzie and Mr Darcy together.

This doesn't come out until early 2021 so be sure to add it to your 'to be read' list so you'll remember to pick yourself up a copy when it releases in March.

Expected release date - March 9, 2021
