I really enjoy this series with it's overall love of Jane Austen. Like the coziness of the location. Mystery always keeps me guessing. Also they're not super long. You can finish in a couple of days.

Enjoying listening to these books.

This series is a new favorite. I really enjoy the depth of the characters, the Jane Austen references and the setting. This one didn’t have much Alex as Kate was in an estate for the weekend. And accused of murder! Which was actually pulled together very well. A lot of twists with the whodunnit too.

This is not a series that is trying to break any molds, but it's a low anxiety, pass the time kind of book that I read at a moment when I needed that. I read all six books in the Murder on Location series in three days (so the review applies to all of them) and felt quietly happy that some murders were solved and that Kate and Alex get to have a happy life. The location scouting stuff was also pretty cool and something I knew nothing about.

Another fun Sara Rosett mystery in the form of a “locked room” mystery. I love to figure out who is going to die… and why. Bad things keep happening to Kate Sharp but she is quite sharp and gets the mystery solved before the local police every time! Can’t wait to read the next installment.

An invitation to an elegant Regency weekend at the local manor is the perfect opportunity to both scope out a location for a documentary series and also act as a cover for a subtle investigation. But olde worlde collides with modern times when a murder is committed and Kate Sharp finds herself suspected of the crime.

Whenever I get my hands on a Sara Rosett book, it feels as though it's my birthday, Christmas, Easter and summer holidays all rolled into one. This novel is a wonderful read filled with surprises. Each Murder on Location story makes me say "Oh, this is the best one yet!" and it's always true and then the next one manages to be even better.

So highly recommended for cosy lovers.
