One of Our Darcies is Dead (Hawthorne Cove Mystery Series Book 1)

After a devastating breakup derails her carefully planned future, literature professor Chloe Sinclair escapes to the charming seaside town of Hawthorne Cove to attend its inaugural Jane Austen Festival and spend time with her best friend, Daphne, the festival's event planner. But when one of the actors hired to portray Mr. Darcy is found murdered on opening night, the celebration is thrown into chaos. With the festival—and the town's livelihood—hanging in the balance, Chloe and Daphne set out to uncover the truth. As they dig beneath Hawthorne Cove's picture-perfect literary charm, they discover long-buried secrets, simmering rivalries, and more suspects than they ever imagined. To catch a killer, Chloe will have to read this town the way she reads Austen: closely, and between the lines.
