Jane Austen Murder Mystery, Book #1

by Tirzah Price

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


As a fan of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and a lover of mysteries, this book was a treat to read!


Author Tirzah Price has done a great job of reinventing the setting and circumstances of the classic P&P, bringing it new life and intrigue! No longer a country setting, this story takes place in London and our famous houses of Longbourn and Pemberley are now the familial law practices that are run and employed by our traditional cast of characters!


Lizzy Bennet is an aspiring barrister at her father’s small practice of Longbourn. In order to prove herself and achieve her rightful place in her father’s practice, she must outside her cousin, Mr. Collins and make her own case. 


When Mr. Bingley is accused of murdering his brother in law and employee at Netherfield shipping, Lizzie jumps at the chance to represent his case… too bad his close friend and barrier from the Pemberley practice, Mr. Darcy is already on the job.


Lizzy and Mr. Darcy butt heads as they both try to help Mr. Bingley the best way they can and along the way we run into surprising ally Mr. Wickham, Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Charlotte Lucas.


I absolutely adored the casting and reimagine of this classic. Lizzy as the investigative, crime solving, hopeful barrister was a lot of fun. The mystery had me guessing until the end! The interacting between Lizzy and Mr. Darcy had a  chemistry reminiscent to the original.


This was fun read that captured my imagination. I highly recommend it to fans of Pride and Prejudice and cozy historical mystery fans!


🎧 The voice galley I was provided did not represent the actual audiobook that will be produced. The narration of this book was created by computer generation. I had had my doubts on the listenability of such a copy, but soon found that through it was missing the inflection of a proper narration, it did not detract from the story.



Pride and Premeditation by Tirzah Price is scheduled to release April 6th, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this voice galley from Harper Audio, via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
