I thought the writing style and the use of Austen's characters was fine, but it never really gripped me and the pace was patchy at times. Although Darcy looks into the crime, I'm not sure that he could really be called a detective as such, considering the way that the book turns out. There are great chunks of novel devoted to the legal system of the time, which although interesting did slow the plot down somewhat.
