Phaedra Brighton is perfectly content with her life. As a young 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. When reality TV show Who Wants to Marry Mr. Darcy starts filming at her friend Charlene's estate, Phaedra is asked to lend her Austenian knowledge as a consultant. But on the first day of filming, when Charlene's new husband is found electrocuted and Charlene is accused of the crime, Phaedra takes it upon herself to catch the real killer.
