Death in an English Cottage

 Death in an English Cottage is the 2nd book in the Murder on Location series by Sara Rosett.  Anglophiles and particularly lovers of Jane Austen will like this series.  This book has plenty of not very pleasant characters and some plot lines that aren't all positive and roses.  These combine to make the cozy feel authentic even when set in a foreign location. Rosett's descriptions of Nether Woodsmor makes it easy to visualize a story that could be shown on BBC with all their other mysteries.   The plot is full of false leads which lead to a surprise reveal at the ending.  I look forward to reading more of the series which I already have in my TBR pile.

Death in an English Cottage by Sara Rosett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This series is fun as it focuses on movie making particularly the location scouting aspect of it. The descriptions of the English countryside and the Jane Austen connections transport the reader to another place and era. The mystery itself is complex with sub stories that help provide red herrings. I really like this series and feel as though Anglophiles and Jane Austen lovers will really like it as well
