Totally predictable. I'm pretty bad at predicting murder mysteries, but because the author repeats the "clues" three to four times, it's hard to miss them. Also, no red herrings. Dry writing avoids all the subtlety of Austin's writing, and sucks out all the character. POV switches from Darcy to Elizabeth, giving all their thoughts and feelings. It seemed more like a historical fiction on trials of the era that happened to borrow the cardboard figures of "Pride & Prejudice" rather than an actual story.
