Publisher Description
Even quaint and cozy English villages have a dark side . . .
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 fails to return from a scouting trip to England. Kate travels to England to salvage the company’s reputation.
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 her boss. Even the rumpled, easygoing local scout they consulted, Alex, doesn’t know where he might be.
Increasingly worried about her boss 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 with no sign of her boss, she begins to suspect that the picturesque village and beautiful countryside may not be as idyllic as they seem.
Death in the English Countryside is the first installment of the popular Murder on Location cozy mystery series from USA Today bestseller Sara Rosett.

Death in the English Countryside
I live in County Down,N.Ireland and so the setting for the novel was of particular interest.
The background requirements were obviously well researched and did lend an air of authenticity to the whole novel.
I enjoyed the plot and the gradual unravelling of the “who done it”Eve was my culprit!!Nice when the author confirms it!!
The characters were beautifully described and had an “air of the English”about those who lived locally.
I would certainly recommend this book,perhaps for a Cosy Read.
Great English Murder Mystery
This book kept me reading all night and until I fell asleep at 11am! Having never flown intercontinental and never suffered jet lag I’m probably going to find out how the main protagonist feels after flying LAX to England!
This is a lovely cozy murder mystery with Jane Austen influences. I hated doing Pride and Pejudice at school and was glad when I changed schools and my new school was reading Jayne Ayer but after reading this I’m about to reread P&P to see if it’s more interesting so not only is this a great cozy mystery but it’s influenced me enough to get curious about P&P and Northanger Abbey ! I’m probably going to read the next in the series first though. My new fave binge read series!
