Murder Most Pemberley
(2021)(The first book in the Eliza Darcy Mysteries series)
A novel 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.
Genre: Cozy Mystery

Praise for this book
"Jessica Berg's well-crafted debut cozy mystery, Murder Most Pemberley, is a refreshingly delightful bridge between Jane Austen's most-loved Regency Era tale and a contemporary murder mystery featuring a wonderfully witty amateur sleuth. It didn't take me long to fall absolutely in love with Eliza Darcy, the sassy, very American crime-solving heroine and her colorful posse of extremely British sidekicks. The combination of the vivid descriptions of the English countryside and the hilarious moments of how foreign many British colloquialisms are to the American ear kept me well entertained and turning pages late into the night as the story was a pure delight from beginning to end-- A must-read for cozy mystery fans and those who love all things Jane Austen." - Lauren Elliott
