Sense and Second Degree Murder by Tirzah Price
This is the second book in the Jane Austen Murder Mystery series, and it focuses on the characters of Sense and Sensibility. I’m almost halfway through and am enjoying it!
About the Book:
Title: Sense and Second Degree Murder
Author: Tirzah Price
Series: Jane Austen Murder Mystery #2
Page Length: 416
Publication Date: April 5, 2022

Synopsis: Three of Jane Austen’s classic novels receive a murder mystery makeover in this romantic and thrilling three-book series that’s perfect for fans of The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy and Stalking Jack the Ripper. In Sense and Second-Degree Murder, aspiring scientist Elinor Dashwood and her sister Marianne, a budding detective, work together to solve the mystery of their father’s murder.
When eighteen-year-old aspiring scientist Elinor Dashwood discovers her beloved father slumped over the desk of his office study, she knows his death means dire straits for the Dashwood women. To make matters worse, an outdated will entails his estate—including Norland & Company, the private investigation firm where her younger sister Marianne worked as her father’s partner and protégé—to their half-brother and his haughty wife, who waste no time in forcing the Dashwoods out of their home and into a cramped apartment on London’s Barton Street.
But before they go, the Dashwood sisters make a startling discovery that points to foul play, and the killer might be family.
Obviously, the girls must investigate. It could be dangerous; it could ruin their reputations; and most importantly, it won’t bring back their father. But if the Dashwood sisters can combine their talents and bring their father’s murderer to justice, it may bring them all some comfort—and it might even lead to love.

I’m glad you are enjoying this! I really liked the first one and I was just approved for this one! 🙂
It’s definitely a fun spin on Sense and Sensibility.
I haven’t read the original yet. But I loved the first one & it’s spin on Pride and Prejudice! Idk if I can squeeze (the original) it in before the release!
I hear you. I have so many books, I think I overcommitted. lol
You are seriously a rockstar when it comes to reading though!! I don’t know how you do it! 😊
lol – I have a lot of free time when the kids are in school. This week, I haven’t read much of anything.
Ahhh, makes sense. My MIL asked, if I was going to go back to work, when my kid starts preschool this fall. 1. I’m planning on more kids- so no. 2. No, I’ve got a part time job.. reading for more free books. 😂 🤦🏻♀️
exactly! lol
