Description
Eat a crumpet. Check. Say “bloody hell” in an English pub. Check. Solve three murders and fall in love? Definitely not on the list. But when England dishes up murder, even an American girl knows it’s time to channel her inner Agatha Christie.American Eliza Darcy travels to Merry Old England to partake in a Darcy/Bennet family reunion for one reason: to solve the estrangement between her father and uncle. Not long after Eliza’s arrival and exploration of the vast estate of her ancestors, a dead body surfaces. Murder and mayhem replace afternoon teas and flirting with her British heartthrob. Eliza has every intention of keeping her snoot out of official Scotland Yard business, but when clues to the murder begin to merge with her investigation into her family’s rift, her inner wannabe sleuth self-activates.With the help of her batty great-aunt and the sexy Heath Tilney, Eliza hurries to untangle the web of lies and secrets. As corpses start to pile up faster than the clues, Eliza fears the estate’s family graveyard will swallow another body: hers.
Reader Reviews
Book Reviewed on www.whisperingstories.comBook reviewers often say, “I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.” This title falls in that category. 100%. Murder Most Pemberley is a fantastic Jane Austen fan fiction/spin-off novel.This isn’t a reimagining of Pride and Prejudice. It is a cleaver link: American born, school teacher Eliza Jane Darcy is a descendant of Elizabeth and Mr Darcy. In fact, all of the characters in this modern story are Darcys, Bennetts, Wickhams, and Bingleys. The
In the beginning....I was hooked. As a Jane Austen fan, a cozy enthusiast and someone who likes a smattering of romance on the side this seemed like the perfect read for me. Indeed the first couple if chapters sucked me in and i didn't even mind that we didn't have a dead body until well into the story. I loved silly old Aunt Iris, even if she was a bit cliché, and of course the party going cousin Joy who provided an intro to Brit life for our American sleuth. But by half way through I was ready
What a fun murder mystery. I was a bit worried about it picking up from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, but didn't need to be. Yes it is the same Pemberley and the same family, but the happenings are contemporary. This story has nearly everything. Nutty relatives, nice relatives, romance, murder and plenty of tea - the British cure all.Loved it.I received an advance review copy for free. This review is voluntary, honest and my own opinion.
