Latest installation in the series of adaptations that includes McCall Smith's Emma. Very true to the original novel. In fact, McDermid seems to have set out to prove to us that, with only slight adjustments (replacing horses with sports cars, adding a cell tower blackout around Northanger Abbey to explain lulls between correspondence, substituting modern text shortcuts for Regency slang) the novel totally works. Catherine is adorable. A fun read. Grove Park, NY. Hb, Dj. NEW. $9.00
