Tea and crumpets and murder…Location scout and Jane Austen aficionado, Kate Sharp, is thrilled when the company she works for lands the job of finding locations for a new film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, but then her boss, Kevin, fails to return from a scouting trip to England. Afraid that Kevin has slipped back into some destructive personal habits he struggles with, Kate travels to … struggles with, Kate travels to England to salvage Kevin’s and the company’s reputation before word gets out that he is missing.
Things go from bad to worse when Kate arrives in Nether Woodsmoor, a quaint village of golden stone cottages and rolling green hills, only to find no trace of Kevin except his abandoned luggage. Even the rumpled, easygoing local scout they consulted, Alex, doesn’t know where Kevin might be.
Increasingly worried about Kevin and with an antsy director waiting for updates about the preproduction details, Kate embarks on a search that includes a pub crawl and cozy cottages as well as stately country manors. But Kevin remains missing, and she begins to suspect that the picturesque village and beautiful countryside may not be as idyllic as they seem.

good one – exploring English pubs.
Didn’t know who did it till the end. Great story.
Great read for Anglophiles and Austen admirers. Looking forward to continuing this series.
This story went in all sorts of directions I didn’t expect. Lots of fun! Great plot, super characters.
I really enjoyed the English Countryside setting. The characters were very likable and I look forward to the next book. It was interesting to see what goes into scouting an area/home for a movie. What happens when the person sent over disappears? This was a good mystery and it kept up with different clues to make it look like a different suspect …
It’s been several months since I finished this book, but, I enjoyed the story. Many interesting characters.
Light reading. Interesting. Thought I had it figured out but the ending was a surprise!!
Good story that is easy to read.
Precisly what an English mystery should be.
An okay summer read. I found characters to be trite, and the mystery not so mysterious. Got bored and set it aside for awhile…felt obligated to finish it. Hate to leave a book undone.
A quick and fun summer read.
middle of the road kind of english mystery..but, I liked
I enjoy books that are set in the UK
I like how well the county side and homes were described.
Is one of the better cozy mysteries of my recent reads. Characters developed well and plot was interesting.
I enjoyed very much.
Delightful story, Interesting plot. Characters were great.
Enjoyed as a fun summer read. Love books that take place in England.
It brought me back to the England I love!
This book is excellent! It is well written. I was sad to see it end. The characters were likable. It was a true mystery until the end. I hope to read more in this series.
