A Murder at Rosings

By: Annette Purdey Pugh

Narrated by: Lisa Armytage

A major treat for Austen enthusiasts...

When Mr. Collins is found stabbed to death in Lady Catherine de Bourgh's garden, simmering tensions are revealed beneath the elegant Regency surface of the Rosings estate.

The prime suspect is Mr. Bennet, who was overheard arguing with Mr. Collins over the entail of Longbourn in the days before the murder was committed, and who stands to benefit more than anyone from the rector's death.

His daughter Mary uncovers a scandalous secret that holds the key to the murder. Can she prove her father's innocence in time to save him from the gallows?

"What I love about this book is that it is beautifully written, with an absolute faithfulness to the language in use at the time. A Murder at Rosings is both a good old-fashioned murder mystery that keeps the reader guessing till the very last page and a sparklingly clever re-imagining of characters from Pride and Prejudice. It's a delightful concoction that will intrigue any Janeite." (Lindsay Ashford, author of The Mysterious Death of Miss Austen)

Loved It

I was 1/3 into the book when I stopped to search if this author had any other book. Sad to say its her 1st, but hope she will have more. I love a cozy mystery and Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book. Although not a retelling of P&P, anyone knowing the characters will enjoy the story. Also love the narrator.
