A Murderous Persuasion

Phaedra Brighton is back to sleuthing again when an innocent murder mystery weekend turns into the real deal, in the newest Jane Austen Tea Society mystery.

Phaedra Brighton has her life all figured out-she has a profession she enjoys, a wonderful (if exasperating) cat, and a cozy home on the grounds of her aunt's inn. She needs no Captain Wentworth to sweep her off her feet (though, she wouldn't mind a Mr. Darcy.)

But when Aunt Wendy decides she's selling Laurel Springs Inn, Phaedra faces losing her beloved carriage house. In a last-ditch attempt to drum up more business, Phaedra convinces Wendy to host an immersive Persuasion themed murder mystery weekend. It's a fool proof plan to draw attention to the establishment in the hopes of saving it.

Until one of the participants winds up dead.

With more suspects than she knows what to do with, Phaedra finds herself on the hunt for a killer once again. But with time running out, Phaedra quickly realizes that with this investigation, there will be no second chances.
