Story
It's spring in England, and location scout Kate Sharp has returned to the quaint village of Nether Woodsmoor with its lush gardens, budding hedgerows, and mellow stone cottages to work on a Jane Austen television documentary. The unique opportunity also gives her the chance to explore a possible romance with Alex, the deliciously rumpled local scout. Rumors of recently discovered Jane Austen letters stir up the production, but then tragedy strikes and a stranger dies in a fire in a village cottage. Soon it's evident that the fire wasn't an accident, but murder.

Story
London, present day. Art recovery specialist Zoe Andrews really needs a break.

Olive Belgrave prides herself on discreetly solving rich people’s problems.

She only wishes she had made the move to the countryside sooner. But when a knock at the door brings news of a shocking discovery, she suddenly finds herself thrown in to the middle of a baffling mystery: the bones of a young woman have been found in the woods just behind her new home. Perhaps the little village of Upper Bembury is not as idyllic as it first seemed? Strange phone calls in the night convince Melissa that the police are barking up completely the wrong tree, so she can’t resist doing a little digging of her own. From the bingo hall to the beauty salon and beyond, her search ruffles a few feathers and uncovers many of the village’s most scandalous secrets, but gets her no closer to finding the culprit.

Story
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

Publisher's Summary
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, Kevin, fails to return from a scouting trip to England. Kate travels to England to salvage Kevin's and the company's reputation before word gets out that he is missing.
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 Kevin except his abandoned luggage. Even the rumpled, easygoing local scout they consulted, Alex, doesn't know where Kevin might be.
Increasingly worried about Kevin 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 Kevin remains missing, and she begins to suspect that the picturesque village and beautiful countryside may not be as idyllic as they seem.

An Amazing Series
When I saw this title I will be honest it was the dog on the cover that made me download it as well as the association with P and P. But I was really blown away by the story and thrilled to discover that it wasn't a stand alone book but a series. The characters of Kate and Alex really click and the details of the story and descriptions of the country side and homes really make you feel like you're there. I highly recommend it. I also really enjoyed the narrator. Sometimes narrations can be like molasses but Sarah Mollo-Christensen makes listening a pleasure.

quick read but narrator was killing me
struggled to finish but I had it on faster speed and finished it quick in 1 day. The narrator's voice I actually thought it was a automated reading like Siri reading it at the beginning then her voice finally was not monotone when it was other character voices. The story was quite predictable. Ok book if you're trying to kill time. Not one I would recommend

Not bad,but won't be continuing the series.
Certainly nothing wrong with this story, the narrator, or the characters, but there was nothing gripping or page-turning about it either. It was a relatively easy listen - not difficult to keep track of the characters or relationships, some nice imagery, and nothing overly grisly or traumatic, nor did I find myself drifting or struggle to finish it. Admittedly, I expected a bit more (although I can't say with certainty why), and had hoped it would be the first book in a series I'd want to continue, but I need a bit more.

With references to Pride and Prej you'd think there would be some charm and romance ... Nope. With references to murder, youd expect some suspense and drama ... Nope. Such a dull story read by a dull narrator. The "love story" was stupid and there was no character that I cared anything about. I was glad when the book was over.

Sorry, but pretty dull...
The story was interesting enough, but I really did not care for the narrator, and her style unfortunately kept my attention right through to “the end.” As to the characters, I really found myself not particularly caring about any of them. The harsh style of the chief detective at the beginning was just comical (in a sad way). I may try another in the series, but have pretty low expectations after this one.

Good cozy crime
This is an interesting cozy mystery- I’ve never heard one set in the world of location scouting before. I really enjoyed the start of the story but lost interest towards the end - the last hour and a half or so - due to the slow pace of the story (hence the four stars)

New Cozy Series
Enjoyed this first instalment in a new to me cozy series. It is set in a contemporary environment in a perfect English village and although the police started off sounding stupid they worked well with the amateur sleuths. Will definitely read the next instalment. I was able to pick this up as a daily deal.

Great story let down by the narrator
Loved this story. But think I’ll be reading the rest of the series instead of listening. This narrator is by far the worst I’ve ever heard. So wooden and clipped I thought it was a robot voice. While doing the characters she isn’t as bad. Will never listen to anything she reads again.
