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. 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.
