Sense and Second-Degree Murder

In this version of Sense and Sensibility, Mr Dashwood was a private investigator who dies unexpectedly in the night. Marianne is an aspiring private investigator, Elinor is a self-taught chemist, and Margaret reads and writes mysteries. All three sisters have an active role in figuring out what's going on.

Mr Brandon has been aged down to a twenty-something medical student. The two Elizas have been combined into a friend of his who unexpectedly died a year ago. These are the biggest changes to the characters.

The mystery isn't quite as tidy as the one in Pride and Premeditation. A few elements aren't quite subtle enough but others seem very abruptly thrown together. I still enjoy the book thoroughly.
