Phaedra Brighton is perfectly content with her life of lecturing college students, gossiping with her best friends, and dreaming of Mr. Darcy. As a young, respected (if somewhat peculiar) English professor, her expertise lies in all things Jane Austen—but she knows that the closest she’ll ever get to being a real-life Elizabeth Bennet is in her dreams.
When Who Wants to Marry Mr. Darcy, a new reality TV show, starts
filming at her best friend Charlene’s estate, Phaedra is intrigued. And when
the producer asks her to lend her Austenian knowledge as a consultant on the
show, she’s over the moon. But on the first day of filming, when Charlene’s new
husband is found electrocuted and Charlene herself is accused of the crime,
Phaedra comes crashing back to reality.
With murder on the syllabus and her best friend in dire straits, there’s no Mr.
Darcy around to help Phaedra—she’ll have to get to the bottom of this mystery
herself.

My name is
Katie Oliver. I’ve been writing for several years but I’m brand new to the cozy
mystery genre. I’m the author of the Dating Mr. Darcy and Marrying Mr. Darcy
series. Last year I decided to switch things up and wrote a cozy mystery. The result,
the first book in my Jane Austen Tea Society Mystery series, Pride,
Prejudice, and Peril, was published by Berkley in December 2021.
I live in South Florida along with my husband and an ever-growing stack of cozy mysteries waiting to be read.
