Pride, Prejudice, and Peril

De: Katie Oliver

Narrado por: Jennifer Jill Araya

Jane Austen meets reality TV and murder in this quirky cozy mystery — the first in a new series!

Phaedra Brighton is perfectly content with her life of lecturing college students, gossiping with her best friends, and dreaming of Mr. Darcy. As a young, respected (if somewhat peculiar) English professor, her expertise lies in all things Jane Austen — but she knows that the closest she'll ever get to being a real-life Elizabeth Bennet is in her dreams.

When Who Wants to Marry Mr. Darcy, a new reality TV show, starts filming at her best friend Charlene's estate, Phaedra is intrigued. And when the producer asks her to lend her Austenian knowledge as a consultant on the show, she's over the moon. But on the first day of filming, when Charlene's new husband is found electrocuted and Charlene herself is accused of the crime, Phaedra comes crashing back to reality.

With murder on the syllabus and her best friend in dire straits, there's no Mr. Darcy around to help Phaedra — she'll have to get to the bottom of this mystery herself.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Like a modern-day Agatha Christie bestowed with a hefty dollop of Jane Austen." (Laura Childs, number one New York Times best-selling author)

Didn’t enjoy the performer

I might have enjoyed this book more if I had read it myself. The story is ok.

A Jane Fan Cozy Mystery

Fans of Jane Austin will love this cozy mystery as you not only try to figure out who the murder is and get a new modern twist to one of her most famous novels.

The wonderful twist and turns of the story is my favorite type of book

The best thing in the story was that the heroine was loyal and determined to never gave up believing in her friend or her friend’s innocence

not for me

This book might appeal to others, but not to me. The characters are pretentious and flat. I couldn't get into it.

Pride Prejudice and Peril

This book was stupid. I was expecting a Jane Austen type of book. The narrator’s voice was annoying. Very disappointing.
