I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Author. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Death Takes a Holiday at Pemberley by Kelly Miller is a truly remarkable book that makes one think.

Is it time for Fitzwilliam Darcy to die?


What I liked:



  • The bit of fantasy with the angel of death

  • Darcy being worried about Elizabeth and Bennet

  • Graham making things come out that not a lot of the other characters wanted

  • The exuberance of Bennet


What I disliked:


I usually don't like books that take place in the era that this one does. Ms. Miller does a great job of keeping me reading, though. I had a hard time with the language in the book and trying to put myself in their shoes.

Three Stars


Death Takes a Holiday at Pemberley by Kelly Miller is a take on if Jane Eyre wrote a sequel to Pride and Prejudice. Ms. Miller had a different take on this book and the characters that we know from the original. I liked what she did with it. I am giving Death Takes a Holiday at Pemberley by Kelly Miller three stars and recommending it to anyone that likes Jane Eyre retellings.







Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Death Takes a Holiday at Pemberley by Kelly Miller. 

Until the next time,
