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.

    In Murder Most Pemberley, Eliza Darcy (the great-great-great-great-great granddaughter of Elizabeth Darcy) travels from her home in South Dakota to the estate of Pemberley in England for a family reunion. Excited and nervous to meet the family her father left behind when he abandoned England, Eliza is anxious to do some sleuthing into why her father left and why he won’t talk about it. Little does she know that the web of secrets, deceit, and murder that will ensnare her will threaten to take away the new family she has come to love, her heritage, and even her life. With a little help from Great Aunt Iris, her cousin Joy, and her handsome new friend Heath, maybe Eliza can solve the case. I found Murder Most Pemberley to be full of entertainment, mystery, and romance. The characters are witty and quirky. I found Eliza and Heath to be likable and their chemistry is tangible. Great Aunt Iris and Uncle Fitzwilliam are endearing and lovable. The mystery is unpredictable and kept me guessing. The story moves along and doesn’t drag or stall out, and even though it is a murder mystery, it’s still fun and flirty. I really enjoyed reading Murder Most Pemberley, and I look forward to more adventures with Eliza Darcy in the future. ***I received a copy of this book via the author, and I’m reviewing it voluntarily.
