It is a truth universally acknowledged that an overly inflated ego must be in want of the spotlight.

When the actor set to play Mr. Darcy is found murdered in his dressing room, Pine Crest's annual AustenFest is derailed. Pepper Brooks must set her pride and prejudice aside to differentiate between rumor and truth as she searches for the killer.

Between running her new bookstore and trying to decide who is a Darcy and who is a Wickham, Pepper quickly finds that her story might not end as happily as those written by Jane Austen.

Readers, this is the third book in a literary-themed cozy series. If walking into a bookshop makes you sigh contentedly and if you like a side of classic literature with your mysteries then you'll love the continuation of this sweet cozy series. And if Austen's not your jam, no worries, each book features a different classic author. ;) Happy reading!
