Synopsis

Phaedra Brighton is on the case when an innocent murder-mystery weekend turns into the real deal, in the newest Jane Austen Tea Society Mystery.

Phaedra Brighton has her life all figured out—she has a profession she enjoys, a wonderful (if exasperating) cat, and a cozy carriage house on the grounds of her aunt's inn. She needs no Captain Wentworth to sweep her off her feet (though, she would not mind a Mr. Darcy).
 
But when Aunt Wendy decides she is selling Laurel Springs Inn, Phaedra faces losing her beloved home. In a last-ditch attempt to drum up more business, Phaedra convinces Wendy to host an immersive Persuasion-themed murder-mystery weekend. It is a fool proof plan to draw attention to the establishment in the hopes of saving it. 
 
Until make-believe becomes reality and one of the participants winds up dead. 
 
With more suspects than she knows what to do with, Phaedra finds herself on the hunt for a killer once again. But with time running out, Phaedra quickly realizes that with this investigation, there will be no second chances.

4 stars You can read all of my reviews at Nerd Girl Loves Books. This is another great cozy mystery with Jane Austen vibes. While this is book 2 of the series, it's a standalone mystery and can be read without having read the first book. In fact, I've read this series completely out of order and I've......more

Goodreads review by Lisette on January 17, 2023

Phaedra Brighton, a college professor with expertise in Jane Austen, is a wonderful main character, and the perfect unintentional sleuth in this terrific series by Katie Oliver. Like the first book in this series, Pride, Prejudice, and Peril, there’s a really well-plotted cozy mystery with lots of c......more
