Giveaway Kick-Off Week! "The Phantom of Pemberley" by Regina Jeffers

Giveaway Entry below for a 2 Book Mystery Package
 with Serious Swag!!


Summary: 
     Happily married for over a year and more in love than ever, Darcy and Elizabeth can’t imagine anything interrupting their bliss-filled days. Then an intense snowstorm strands a group of travelers at Pemberley, and terrifying accidents and mysterious deaths begin to plague the manor. Everyone seems convinced that it is the work of a phan-tom—a Shadow Man who is haunting the Darcy family’s grand estate.
     Darcy and Elizabeth believe the truth is much more menacing and that someone is trying to murder them. But Pem-berley is filled with family guests as well as the unexpected travelers—any one of whom could be the culprit—so unraveling the mystery of the murderer’s identity forces the newlyweds to trust each other’s strengths and work together.
     Written in the style of the era and including Austen’s romantic playfulness and sardonic humor, this suspense-packed sequel to Pride and Prejudice recasts Darcy and Elizabeth as a husband-and-wife detective team who must solve the mystery at Pemberley and catch the murderer—before it’s too late.


A Ghostly Review :
Regina Jeffers is a prolific author with much to say about our beloved Jane Austen and her characters.  I think we'd be so bereft of continuations of our favorites were it not for her and her close keeping of the mannerisms and escapades of a blaze' Miss Austen.  "The Phantom of Pemberley" is a story meant to be entertaining and read for the pure joy of visiting Darcy, Elizabeth and the usual suspects for a ghostly, murder mystery of a night out.  But don't be fooled into thinking it's too light-hearted, there are bodies falling like flies--strange bedfellows and a storm to keep unlikely visitors trapped in a haunting. 

You'll love reading this book.  And, there are so many others of Ms Jeffers books to discover.  She is a brilliant author who loves her subject, so Austen fans have a treasure trove to choose from.

I'll be terrified out of wits and pray that the ghosts would not try to scare me.

Jessica, it ain't over till the fat lady sings or in this case, deadline hasn't passed yet.

I am a firm believer in keeping my murder mysteries strictly fictional. If I were locked away with Darcy and a murder mystery, I'd be to terrified to take advantage of the fact that I was with Darcy. LOL! I would love to read this one though. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity and for the fab week of Austen you have planned.
