Rachel L's Reviews > Manslaughter Park

4 stars!

I will admit, of the five Austen books I've read Mansfield Park is my least favorite. But I really enjoyed this YA queer retelling a lot. In Manslaughter Park, Fanny Price hopes to solve the mystery of the person who murdered her Uncle. With help from her friends and some unexpected characters, Fanny finds herself challenged as well as uncovering many truths.

Fanny Price was never my favorite classic character, but I really enjoyed the interpretation of her in this book. Plus I thought a queer retelling fit quite well as Edmund never really stood out to be as a great hero. I know a lot of people were upset by this book (as I saw from all the reviews) but I feel if you go into this book with an open mind and know it will be different (like the first two books) I think it would be a fun read.
