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.

Enjoyable but a little predictable
Cute, quick read
Very interesting good plot, couldn’t wait to finish and see how it ended.

Delightful
I enjoyed the plot, the descriptions of the locations/houses, and the characters. This was well written and not easy to predict the ending. I look forward to more books by this author.
I greatly enjoyed reading this book and am continuing to read the the later books in this series. The author writes extremely well and the plots are interesting, never bore and action packed with appealing believable characters.
A good story for a “P&P” variation on a theme. Really enjoyed the use of the “Hollywood” connection, as I grew up in L.A. watching shows being filmed. The author also recommends the “Making of P&P” for fans, and I found this a great addition too.
Enjoyed this book very much. Hard to put it down, reading sometimes to one or two in the morning.
Very interesting story!
I really enjoyed this book. I know everyone will enjoy it. A must read.
Great mystery

Sweet little story. Not quite what I thought it would be. Better actually. Nice little mystery with a surprising twist at the end. I would definitely read more from this author.

Thoroughly enjoyable!
Loved the book.
Enjoyed this book, but need to read next in the series to tie up a few loose ends
