The Proof in the Potion by B.B. Stuart
English | 2026 | Mystery & Thriller
Netherfield Park is let at last!
Hertfordshire, 1810. Elizabeth Bennet has recovered from her brush with death. Her family is safe from scandal, and her position in Meryton society is secured. In fact, she and Charlotte Lucas have become quite the local celebrities, attracting attention even as far as London, or so the new neighbors report.
But Meryton’s newfound tranquility is upset when the new arrivals lease the long-vacant Netherfield Park. Their temporary quarters at the inn become the scene of a new crime when their young son falls deathly ill, and the doctor confirms the cause to be poison.
Elizabeth refuses to investigate–she wants to return to her peaceful, happy life, and the boy is on the mend. But when another newcomer is found dead by the same poison, she and Charlotte must take up the case and find the killer before anyone else suffers the same fate.
Set in the quiet country town of Meryton, this charming Regency mystery features a famously clever heroine. Mix a lot of Jane Austen, a little bit of Sherlock Holmes, and a dash of Downton Abbey, and you get Only Murders in Meryton, a new series of historical cozy mysteries set in the world of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
