Pride and Premeditation

🎧 Voice Galley

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.

The Art of Taxidermy

by Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley.

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms! This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
