Well written and entertaining. At first, I was afraid that I would be lost, having no familiarity with the Jane Austen Society. However, it was part of the background and not integral to the plot.

Characters were well developed and the story was interesting and engaging. I would certainly love to read more in this series!

I would like to thank netgalley and Crooked Lane Books for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

I found the main character to be out of date and a contradiction of herself.

This is a fun, colorful story that makes for a pleasant afternoon of reading.
I love the cast of characters and the reading group sounds like a load of fun.
I’m not usually a fan of stories that take place in the UK, but this book happened to grab my attention. I’m glad I gave it a go.

Tea with murder!

The president of the local Jane Austen society is murdered during a rather contentious meeting. The clever Erin, who runs the local bookshop and knows everyone in town, gets involved with the investigations. She starts scanning the eccentric characters that fill the town - the cat lady, the eternal bachelor, the perfect couple, the victim's paramour - uncovering many dirty secrets that would have rather stayed buried...

This book was an absolutely lovely read! A traditional cozy mystery with a hint of cleverness, a touch of British sarcasm and a gentle but well constructed plot! Absolutely recommended.

Pride, Prejudice and Poison is an excellent start to what I can see being a hit series! Filled with a cast of fantastic characters and book lovers, this book is is going to vibe with many readers! I am already excited for the next installment! I very much recommend it.

Pride, Predjudice, and Poison is a great murder mystery that I was hooked from the first chapter on. Great characters and we'll written.

Can a murder story be delicious? If so then this is one. Set in Yorkshire, the local Jane Austen Society comprise a disparate group of JA lovers. During a largely contentious monthly meeting the president is poisoned. Our heroine, Erin, runs the local secondhand bookshop with teas and coffee and acts as a bit of a, young, Miss Marple. She knows everyone and there are certainly plenty of slightly, or more than, eccentric characters - the perfect married couple, a wife with a secret, the cat lady, the dashing "Mr Bingley", the academic husband, the dead woman's lover and her husband and so on. The two York detectives, DI Hadley and DS Jarral, are rounded characters too - serious but fun. The plot is gentle, the conversation sparkling with plenty of quotes and improvisations from, mainly, Pride and Pred. A coupe of hours of very enjoyable reading with a satisfactory end. What more can one ask in these days of gruesome, raw murders and abuse? Respite. Lovely. Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.
