Murder Most Pemberley

Eliza Darcy Mysteries, Book 1

De: Jessica Berg

Narrado por: Anne Marie Damman

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.

If the Jane Austin stories were actual history...

It's a clever story. the characters were believable and/or likable. it was a quick paste fun read. i'm looking forward to the next one.

Delightful Read

I'm going to gush a little because this book was just what I needed. Set in England with an intelligent and likeable protagonist who just flew over from the U. S. to meet her estranged family in the U. K., a swoon worthy love interest, and some delightful supporting characters who come together in a well plotted story complete with family intrigue, murder, and just the right amount of wit and humor. I admit that I had part of the mystery figured out early on, but before I could get too smug, some additional twists and turns made it clear that there was much more to this story. Full disclosure, there is one major TSTL moment, but the book is just too entertaining to get too up in arms about it. Now I cannot wait for Book 2 which I am told is scheduled for release soon. You still have time to get this book and be ready for more of Eliza, Heath, Joy, Great Aunt Iris (who is a hoot), Uncle Fitz, and more.
