First in a fun series: Pride, Prejudice and Poison

A Jane Austen Society Mystery

by Elizabeth Blake

Here is the first of two Jane Austen themed mysteries written by this author. I was drawn to the references to Austen and P and P. I also like the British setting and a protagonist with a bookshop. Perfect ingredients for a cozy!

Much of what follows is precipitated by a meeting of the Jane Austen society. The old guard and new are not in sync. The situation worsens when a Mrs. Pemberley (!) is murdered.

There are many suspects. Also here are detectives that readers will enjoy getting to know along with our bookshop proprietor.

This title will be enjoyed by cozy lovers. I am sure of that.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for this title. All opinions are my own. !

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses! View all posts by joycesmysteryandfictionbookreviews
