"Nobody, I believe, has ever found it possible to like the heroine
of "Mansfield Park."" --Lionel Trilling
In this ingenious new twist on "Mansfield Park," the famously meek
Fanny Price--whom Jane Austen's own mother called "insipid"--has
been utterly transformed; she is now a rich heiress who is spoiled,
condescending, and generally hated throughout the county. Mary
Crawford, on the other hand, is now as good as Fanny is bad, and
suffers great indignities at the hands of her vindictive neighbor.
It's only after Fanny is murdered on the grounds of Mansfield Park
that Mary comes into her own, teaming-up with a thief-taker from
London to solve the crime.
Featuring genuine Austen characters--the same characters, and the
same episodes, but each with a new twist--MURDER AT MANSFIELD PARK
is a brilliantly entertaining novel that offers Jane Austen fans an
engaging new heroine and story to read again and again.
