Why did you read this book? Another hasty audiobook choice.

Has Jeremy read it? No.

42-word review: Ugh. This was similar to The Anatomist’s Apprentice, but worse. It began with an hour-and-a-half synopsis of Pride and Prejudice and ended with another rehash from Darcy’s viewpoint. The remainder was largely plodding “as-you-know”-type exposition, plus ridiculous tie-ins to other Austen works.

Overall rating:  1 gentleman (out of 5)
