Summary
Phaedra Brighton is on the case when an innocent murder-mystery weekend turns into the real deal, in the newest Jane Austen Tea Society Mystery.

Phaedra Brighton has her life all figured out—she has a profession she enjoys, a wonderful (if exasperating) cat, and a cozy carriage house on the grounds of her aunt's inn. She needs no Captain Wentworth to sweep her off her feet (though, she would not mind a Mr. Darcy).
 
But when Aunt Wendy decides she is selling Laurel Springs Inn, Phaedra faces losing her beloved home. In a last-ditch attempt to drum up more business, Phaedra convinces Wendy to host an immersive Persuasion-themed murder-mystery weekend. It is a fool proof plan to draw attention to the establishment in the hopes of saving it. 
 
Until make-believe becomes reality and one of the participants winds up dead. 
 
With more suspects than she knows what to do with, Phaedra finds herself on the hunt for a killer once again. But with time running out, Phaedra quickly realizes that with this investigation, there will be no second chances.

A Murderous Persuasion, book 2 of A Jane Austen Tea Society Mystery, by Katie Oliver is an entertaining read. It felt like a roller coaster! Many ups and downs, left to right, with twist and turns. Phaedras Aunt Wendy B and B is going under. Aunt Wendy wants to sell. Bookings are down, and there isn't enough money to keep it going. Phaedra has this idea to do a murder mystery week to attract more bookings. Jane Austen murder mystery theme of course! From day one to the last day of the murder mystery week, a guest is shot with a crossbow. Phaedra gets knocked on the head. Another guest goes missing. Phaedra gets locked inside a celler while a house is on fire! Too many suspects and so many clues. Almost everyone has a motive, even Aunt Wendy. Book 2 had a lot going on. An old flame from Phaedra past shows up. Hannah, Phaedra sister, is having a crisis over her career and relationship. Everything going on in the story flowed. It kept the story going forward. I didn't find any stale moments. I am a fan and ready for book 3.
