What we’re about
Meet kindred book lovers in the Boulder Bookaholics Book Club - a group for people who love books, who love to discuss books and who may enjoy having a glass of wine, cup of coffee or bite to eat while doing so!
This book club has 5 strands (because we're all different!):
- - fiction
- - non-fiction
- - fantasy or sci-fi
- - classics
- - mystery
These meetups are fairly relaxed, so if you weren't able to finish the book or haven't had a chance to read it, you are still more than welcome to come to the meeting just to discuss books in general, laugh, share stories and make new friends!
If a meetup you would like to attend is full, please join the waitlist. We will make every effort to include everyone who wishes to attend.
GROUP MEMBERSHIP POLICY: Please be courteous to those on the waitlist by cancelling your RSVP 24 hours in advance. The Organizer will send an email 48 hours before each meetup as a reminder. We do keep attendance at our meetups, and will remove members from our group if there are more than two no-shows or habitual last minute cancellations.
We do not allow any marketing messages at any time - this is a "commercial-free zone". We're getting together to share a love of reading and ideas about the books that we've chosen, not to hear sales messages.

See all- Mystery: Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D.JamesNeeds location
Death Comes to Pemberley is a 2011 historical mystery novel by British writer P.D. James that continues the story of Jane Austen's 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice and adds a murder mystery. In the book, Captain Denny, a minor character from Pride and Prejudice, is murdered at Fitzwilliam Darcy's Pemberley estate, and George Wickham stands trial for murder. A three-part television drama, of the same name, was made by BBC One in 2013.
Overview
The novel is a pastiche in the style of Jane Austen, as James acknowledges in her Author's Note. The book is divided into sections: Author's Note, Prologue, six Books, Epilogue. The Prologue and Book One introduce the main characters, summarize the histories of the Bennet and Darcy families, and introduce a murder. The remainder of the novel is about the mystery and its solution. Elizabeth Bennet is largely absent in the central section. Unlike Pride and Prejudice, the story is told from Darcy's point of view, and therefore it contains his inward reflections, which are absent in Austen's novel.
