Some Particular Evil - By Emilia Stratford

We’re back with a full-blown Austen murder mystery this week, and honestly? We were into it. Alicia and Emilie dive into Some Particular Evil by Amelia Stratford—a gripping “who-done-it” where Elizabeth goes full detective mode and Darcy’s on the run (and in disguise, no less). We talk red herrings, a suspiciously helpful Colonel Fitzwilliam, and a truly unhinged Anne de Bourgh. Plus, how believable was Lizzy and Darcy’s letter-fueled romance? And did the secret boxing subplot actually go anywhere? (Spoiler: we were waiting for someone to get punched.) The conversation also takes a thoughtful turn when Lady Anne’s storyline opens up a personal discussion about postpartum depression and the quiet networks of support women build for each other. And yes—somehow we end up reminiscing about the Clue movie and old-school VHS commercials. If you ever rewound your favorite 90s movie with a pencil, this episode is for you. It’s twisty, it’s layered, it’s not Death Comes to Pemberley—and we’re here for it.   🎵 Music Credit: Pride & Prejudice Book Club Theme composed, performed, and arranged by Megan Mason. 📚 Curious what we will be reading next?
