The Portraits of Pemberley (Austen University Mysteries)
by Elizabeth Gilliland
My rating for The Portraits of Pemberley by Elizabeth Gilliland is four stars. I like how Ms. Gilliland stays true to the characters of Jane Austen. She has modernized them, but they are still familiar.
~Baroness’ Book Trove
With great character dynamics, foes learning to work together, and the realization that first impressions are not always correct, THE PORTRAITS OF PEMBERLEY is a fun read for everyone, not just Jane Austen fans.
~Cozy Up With Kathy
I loved Elizabeth’s storytelling. Characters are lively and likable. Believe me, read this book and you too will start missing your college days, you might want to add The Portraits of Pemberley by Elizabeth Gilliland to your TBR.
~The Book Decoder
The Portraits of Pemberley is spunky, fresh, and delightfully told with its cast of characters with whom Jane Austen herself might have enjoyed a chuckle or two.

After George Wickham is found tied up, naked, on the Austen University Campus Square, President de Bourgh gives student journalist Lizzy Bennet an ultimatum: Find out who committed the crime, or be expelled from the school. Lizzy must team up with some old friends (like the Austen Murder Club) and some new (like…Karoline Bingley?) to get to the bottom of the truth.
Complicating matters is the fact that the prime suspect is Fo-Hian Darcy. Darcy and Lizzy have a messy history, but even so, Lizzy just can’t accept that Darcy committed the crime. An anonymous whistleblower tips off Lizzy about a secret website called the Portraits of Pemberley that may help her get to the bottom of the mystery–but discovering the truth about who’s involved may very well challenge everything that Lizzy believes.
The Portraits of Pemberley is Book 2 of the Austen University Mysteries series but can be read as a standalone novel. It combines plot points of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice with Sense and Sensibility (and characters from all of Austen’s novels) in a modern-university setting, with mysteries.
About Elizabeth Gilliland
Elizabeth Gilliland is a writer, Dr., wife, mom, and lifelong Jane Austen fan. She is a playwright (whose plays have appeared off-off Broadway), a screenwriter (with a master’s in screenwriting and production), an academic (with a PhD and a dissertation on Jane Austen adaptations), and now a published author! When she isn’t writing or grading papers, she is most likely reading a good book, binge watching the latest hit, working on a puzzle, or hanging with her cute kid.
