Portraits of Pemberley
Portraits of Pemberley | Elizabeth Gilliland
1 post | 1 read
After George Wickham is found tied up, naked, on the Austen University Campus Square, President de Bourgh gives student journalist Lizzy Bennet an ultimatum: Find out who committed the crime, or be expelled from the school. Lizzy must team up with some old friends (like the Austen Murder Club) and some new (like...Karoline Bingley?) to get to the bottom of the truth.Complicating matters is the fact that the prime suspect is Fo-Hian Darcy. Darcy and Lizzy have a messy history, but even so, Lizzy just can't accept that Darcy committed the crime. An anonymous whistleblower tips off Lizzy about a secret website called the Portraits of Pemberley that may help her get to the bottom of the mystery--but discovering the truth about who's involved may very well challenge everything that Lizzy believes.The Portraits of Pemberley is Book 2 of the Austen University Mysteries series but can be read as a standalone novel. It combines plot points of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice with Sense and Sensibility (and characters from all of Austen's novels) in a modern-university setting, with mysteries.

Portraits of Pemberley | Elizabeth Gilliland
post image

A contemporary Pride and Prejudice/Sense and Sensibility mash-up, with Bingley subbing for Edward Ferrars. I'll give this a low pick, because I did start to get invested in it towards the end... and because Gilliland's Darcy retains a bit of his charm. Also, Willoughby as a classic sensitive new age guy is a hoot. The non-linear story telling is kind of confusing and I liked the first book better.
