Katie Oliver

I love a cozy mystery . . . and Jane Austen novels. I decided to put the two together to create Professor Phaedra Brighton, an intelligent, outspoken Austen scholar who teaches nineteenth century literature at Somerset University, a small liberal arts college located just outside of Laurel Springs, Virginia.

Phaedra soon finds herself in the middle of a puzzling murder mystery. What's an amateur sleuth to do? Find the killer, of course - with a little help from her cat, Wickham, and the members of the Jane Austen Tea Society, Lucy Liang and Marisol Dubois.

I currently reside in South Florida with my husband, my computer, and an ever-growing stack of cozy mysteries waiting to be read. I'm also the author of the Dating Mr. Darcy and Marrying Mr. Darcy series.
