This is the first in the "Murder on Location" series (followed by 7 more books) by Sara Rosett, who has several other mystery series to her name. The protagonist is Kate Sharp, a Jane Austen aficionado and location scout for movie makers. Her boss in this small organization is Kevin and he has gone off to England to scout locations for a new version of Austen's Pride and Prejudice. When he doesn't return to the office as planned and is not answering his phone, office manager Marci calls in Kate to track him down as she is the only other one at the agency who is aware of Kevin's past bouts with drinking. With the help of Alex, the local location scout who was working with Kevin, she gathers information on the people who last saw him, but still can find no trace and begins to consider other possibilities. The small town, Nether Woodsmoor, with its golden stone cottages and scattered grand mansions, seems idyllic, but perhaps not as safe and quiet and the residents claim. This was a light and enjoyable read--a perfect cozy well suited to those who love English settings.
