Murder Most Pemberley (Eliza Darcy Mysteries Book 1) by Jessica Berg – Review by Tanya Wall August 2022

Murder Most Pemberley by Jessica Berg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a contemporary cozy mystery starring Eliza Jane Darcy – a descendant of the original Elizabeth Darcy Eliza goes to England to attend a family reunion. While there she finds out about a secret involving her absent father. Most of the people at the reunion are strangers to Eliza.

During the trip, Eliza becomes an amateur detective, looking to solve a murder. Eliza is quite obvious about her snooping and funny enough, she keeps things from the police and leaves her fingerprints all over a missing person’s room. She does find some interesting things out – like a hidden tunnel system going around Pemberley.

The solution wasn’t obvious to me as I read this book. AS a contemporary cozy mystery that namedrops Austen character names a lot, I enjoyed the read. And if you haven’t read Jane Austen, you will still enjoy this story, too.
