Summary
'Like a modern-day Agatha Christie bestowed with a hefty dollop of Jane Austen.'—Laura Childs, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Jane Austen meets reality TV and murder in this quirky cozy mystery—the first in a new series!

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.

Phaedra Brighton is an empire gown wearing English professor that is consulting on a TV show called "Who Wants to Marry Mr. Darcy". It takes place at Marling, an estate that her friend Charlene married into and quickly inherits when her newlywed husband was murdered. I enjoy book 1 of "A Jane Austen Tea Society Mystery." I thought the book was going to be more about the TV show Phaedra was consulting on, but it really isn't in the book much. It is more about Phaedra helping Charlene clear her name of murder while she meets and interacts with the staff at Marling. Phaedra has two potential love interest. Detective Morelli and Shakespearean professor Mark Seldon. Personally, I am over love triangles. I understand it adds conflict to a story but I've grown tired of the love triangle. That is probably my only negative comment about the book. There is plenty of characters to get to know and enough issues popping up that the story keeps going. I look forward to book 2. I cannot wait to uncover more of Phaedra and her family and friends.
