Murder Most Pemberley (Eliza Darcy Mysteries Book 1) by Jessica Berg
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.
CLC Book Review
In Jessica Berg’s delightfully imaginative cozy mystery, Murder Most Pemberley (Eliza Darcy Mysteries Book 1), a family reunion turns into a gripping murder inquiry. The novel is based on Jane Austen’s characters and follows Eliza Darcy as she investigates her father’s estrangement from his family. Murder Most Pemberley is a wonderful read with quirky characters and captivating mysteries. The story contains many exciting scenes and ends beautifully.
Eliza leaves America for England excited for the upcoming reunion with her father’s family and hoping for a new chapter after her painful breakup with her former boyfriend. Her father had left his homeland determined never to return and Eliza plans to uncover the reasons for his departure. In England, Eliza becomes reacquainted with her relatives and the dashing Heath Tilney whom she had met earlier. Things take a turn when a man’s dead body is discovered, and the family becomes involved. Eliza resolves to solve the case with the help of Heath and her eccentric great-aunt.
With incredible skill, Berg weaves a series of enthralling mysteries and captivating twists that continue to the end of the novel. Besides wanting to find out details relating to her father and uncle’s estrangement, Eliza is involved in the first murder case and the cases that follow when other bodies are discovered. Other exciting twists arise when Eliza learns that her life is in danger and must find out who the murderer is before she becomes the next victim. Pride and Prejudice characters come to life as the stories of their descendants, who include Eliza and her father’s family, are explored in the novel.
