pickReading along with @peanutnine and the #Pemberlittens group was a lot of fun. This was a great mystery and I liked the twist that the victim hadn‘t yet been killed. I love our two leads and can‘t wait to read more about them.
pickCh 25: And they all go home! Jonathan and Juliet wish to visit at Pemberley soon even though their fathers disapprove. Courting practices in this era are so frustrating!
I thought the mystery in this one was not as intriguing but overall I enjoyed the characters. I hope the next in the series is set at Pemberley so we can revisit with the Bingleys. Who do you think will be the next victim?
pickWhile I did not enjoy this one as much as the prior books, it was still a fun read. Charlotte‘s portrayal was harsh, but Lady Catherine‘s was very accurate, I also loved the interactions with Tilney!
Thanks for leading us through this book, @peanutnine ! And, thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!
pickI loved this book! Thanks for the fun buddy read @peanutnine I can‘t wait for the next in the series
Ch 24: Mrs Jenkinson! 😱 The will was a big clue after all. Lady C lets her go without a reference or recent wages - do you think that's a fair punishment?
Deb's falling sickness is revealed and Lady Catherine shows a surprising amount of compassion.

Ch 23: this fire was set on purpose and difficult to escape. Elizabeth carries Lady Catherine out in a piggyback! What a sight 🤣 Luckily Juliet remembers that it is laundry day and they use the water and wet sheets to put out the fire. Before Lady C imposes herself on the Collins' home, Jonathan and Juliet reveal the culprit of the attacks! But what was the motive? 🤔
Ch 22:Jonathan & Juliet ask about Lady C's will again but find no new information. Anne informs her mom of their plans to move to Bath. Lady C is upset but Anne stands up for herself! Elizabeth & Tilney discuss the desirability of a match between Jonathan & Juliet, while the two finally put the Bamber nonsense to rest. They interview everyone again & Fitz's comment about Daisy's husband seems to give them a breakthrough in the case, but then fire!
Ch 21: Jonathan unsuccessfully chases the assailant. Lady Catherine has finally had enough and decides she must leave for Pemberley, but Juliet talks her out of it since the culprit would probably be able to reach her there as well. The two decide to question the servants again to see if anyone was forced to conspire. The Fitzwilliams ask Daisy to come to Bath with them as their new housekeeper
