The only reason this is 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is so short. But the language and the portrayal of the characters is perfect. I had the picture of David Bamber (the Mr. Collins actor in the 1995 movie version) as he is stuffing his breakfast into his mouth while Lizzy prepares to take her morning walk. JUST AN EXCELLENT interpretation of how he reaches his demise. And also very well written as to how he obtained that leg of mutton to begin with - justice is served.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the obsequious Mr. Collins? And Elizabeth’s best friend, Charlotte? Then you must listen to/read this delightfully entertaining tale. Shannon Winslow stays true to the canon impeccably. Chandler Craig’s narration and characterisation is superb and immensely entertaining. Highly recommend!
What a way to go!
A short but very satisfying read - much more satisfying than Mr Collins found his mutton to be.
This author really seeks to inhabit the skin of Jane Austen and manages very well. The style of her writing is the most Austenesque I have read.

An enjoyable short read for a lunch break. Charlotte has finally had it with Mr. Collins due to his insufferability, but is still the same calm woman as in canon. A bit of mutton is the focal point in this story.
