I thoroughly enjoyed this light, easy read. The idea is so clever and it was carried through really well using Georgiana's old fashioned language along with her bewilderment at modern life. The crime was an excellent vehicle with which to explain Georgiana's presence and her desire to stay, and the glimpses of life at Pemberley just added icing to the cake. Plus a delightful love story, what more could a reader want?

This was a wonderful, quirky and fun cosy mystery with loads of things to keep every Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice fan happy.

As Elizabeth is confined with her first pregnancy and Georgiana faces the horrid prospect of marriage to an aging Lord, she stumbles across a pager in the woods that transports her 200 years into the future. Here, yet another film adaption of a Jane Austen classic is in production and she is mistakenly thought to be a member of the cast.

If this wasn't confusing enough, she is also confronted with a dead body.

There is romance, mystery and a lot of laughs. I really look forward to more!

Georgiana Darcy finds a pager which is in fact a port key to the future, whizzing her from Pemberley to Saltram 200 years in the future. As she finds herself transported between her present and future she discovers a sense of purpose, power and finds love. Jane Austen’s characters from Pride & Prejudice are recognisable and familiar and it was amusing to see the modern world through Mr.Darcy’s sister’s eyes. Funny and gently paced this is a light, very readable book.

This was fun ! A really nice twist on the time travel theme. I loved the different views on the present day seen through past times eyes.

Fun, fun, fun with a capital ‘F’.

Georgiana Darcy finds a Pager and does what most of us would do in the circumstance, hits the red button to get it to stop its incessant noise. As is the way with Pager’s that you find in 1794 it whizzed her through time and deposited her in 1995. And the romp ensues.

This cosy mystery has a lot going on, time travel, a murder to solve and a budding romance, not to mention the wonderful comments made on 1995 life from the standpoint of 1794.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

The writing was engaging right from the beginning and I struggled to put it down. I liked the mix of "old" and "new" English throughout. It helped you to visualise the era that you were reading about more easily, and due to the hopping from one era to the next, I was kept in suspense as to who the murderer was right up until the end.

The chapters were short which meant that you moved through the story at a good pace. It was definitely a case of "just one more chapter" for me.

The chapters also had interesting titles so you had a hint as to what you were about to read.

There was an interesting flow to the story as you went to and fro in time. There wasn't a set pattern as to when you were going to go back, so that kept the suspense running through the story. It all came together well at the end.

The characters were excellent. The main character was one of the minor characters in Pride and Prejudice so it was nice to see her take centre stage. The surrounding characters from her 1700s era were all names that cropped up in Pride and Prejudice, so you felt as if you knew them (assuming that you had read Pride and Prejudice).

There were some emotional parts in both timelines that added an extra layer to the mystery and will stay with me.

It was interesting to see how the main character reacted to the change in timeline. 200 years is a long way to travel and it made you see things that we take for granted in a different light. It was also interesting to see how society had changed.

Lastly the settings. Whilst they were lightly described throughout the book, they were an integral part of the story. The description that was there didn't take your attention away from the main storyline. It was well balanced with it and enhanced the story rather than distracted you.

Overall an engrossing mystery that I enjoyed reading.
