Elizabeth Parker, Jane Austen aficionado, is attempting a retreat from a hectic life at her Aunt Winnie's Cape Cod bed and breakfast. But when the lights go out at a How to Host a Murder dinner party, Elizabeth discovers that the game set for the evening is being played too seriously by one of her aunt's guests. With the local wealthy miser dead, Elizabeth is pressed with the task of clearing her aunt's name and solving the mystery of this random aggressive act. Does Elizabeth have what it takes to unravel a murder mystery? What is the secret behind the Murder at Longbourn?
