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.

William
Cole cannot forget the cruel burden he carries, not with the pock marks
that serve as an outward reminder. Riddled with guilt, he assumed the
solitary life of a long hunter, traveling into the wilds of Kentucky
each year. But his quiet existence is changed in an instant when,
sitting in a tavern, he overhears a man offering his daughter—and her
virtue—to the winner of the next round of cards. William’s integrity and
desire for redemption will not allow him to sit idly by while such an
injustice occurs.
Andrea Byrd
is a Christian wife and mom located in rural Kentucky, who loves to
spend time with her family in the great outdoors, one with nature. Often
described as having been born outside her time, she has a deep affinity
for an old-fashioned, natural lifestyle.
Malvine and the Bog Hunters are gone, but a far more insidious force lurks in the shadows.
K.A. Cummins
is an author and an artist. She explores storytelling in a variety of
mediums, blending the wonders of science with the possibilities of what
if. When not crafting stories, Cummins loves spending time with her
family, collecting fun socks, and venturing outside her comfort zone to
try new things—at least once!
Is street smart enough to save a life and protect a family?
Kathleen
is an Okinawan-American. Born in Okinawa, raised in California,
Florida, Mississippi, and Singapore. Her travels lend themselves to the
settings in her books, and her large family provides fun fodder for her
characters. She and her Pastor husband have eight adult children. Seven
are married, blessing them with sixteen grandchildren, and more on the
way! Her ethnically diverse family of 33 plus personalities presents
many opportunities to write about God’s amazing love amid trials,
tragedies, and blessings. He is the one true inspiration and hope for us
all.
