Penelope Parish has hit a streak of bad luck, including a severe case of writer's block. Hoping a writer in residence position at The Open Book bookstore in Upper Chumley-on-Stoke, England, will shake the cobwebs loose, she packs her typewriter and heads across the pond. Unfortunately, life in Chumley is far from quiet and when the chairwoman of the local Worthington Fest is found dead, fingers are pointed at American romance novelist Charlotte Davenport. Sworn to prove Charlotte's innocence, Penelope must use the sleuthing tricks usually saved for her fiction to find the real killer.
