It celebrates the importance of friendship and striving to do your best and achieve your goals. Most importantly it captures the zest, excitement and love of all things theatrical which simply oozes out of every page. It is dance that brings these characters together and if they work together they could achieve anything.

This is definitely a book you should be excited about. With a stella cast of characters, a captivating plot and most importantly oodles of fun, it is the perfect cheerful read to lift your mood. It may even inspire you don some dancing shoes and have a boogie. I have my fingers and toes crossed that there will be more from these amazing characters and this fabulous author!

My rating – 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What an absolute marvel this joyous murder mystery is! I was hooked from the very first page. With the allure of revisiting some Austen characters I was desperate to get my hands on a copy of this. I devoured it in one sitting, of course, and it certainly did not disappoint.

There has been foul play at Rosings Park and Lady Catherine is not best pleased! The ground of Rosings have been polluted by the murder of Mr Collins. The local constable and magistrate are on the case and set about investigating this terrible crime but soon discover their prime suspect is a near relation of the deceased, none other than Mr Bennet himself. It seems that everything is lost until Mary discovers a vital secret which may be able to save her father.

You can expect an intriguing plot which keeps you thinking and attempting to discover the culprit. You will find a wonderful set of characters who blossom into being before your eyes and a tale which will take over your heart and soul. I especially adored the friendship between Anne and Mary who bonded over their love of learning Greek. It is sensational and I urge you to grab yourself a copy- you will not regret it!

I was kindly #gifted this copy in return of an honest review. THANK YOU SO MUCH to @RandomTTours @APurdyPugh #AMurderAtRosings
