In the peaceful coastal village of White Church Bay, change is in the air—and so is mystery. Dr. Harriet Bailey-Knight’s veterinary clinic is bustling, but life outside the exam room is anything but calm. As she adjusts to her evolving role as a pastor’s wife, Harriet finds herself juggling the expectations of her congregation—many of whom seem to expect perfection. Just as she and her husband Will find their footing, the couple are cast in leading roles in a local revival of Pride and Prejudice, adding a touch of theatrical flair—and unexpected tension—to their already full lives. Meanwhile, Joel Elphick, a newcomer to town, is breathing new life into a long-abandoned the Beacon-on-the-Moor Playhouse. Closed under mysterious circumstances in the late 1980s, the theater is soon plagued by strange disturbances and ghostly sightings—particularly of a shadowy figure in a tall hat. The chilling events escalate, threatening to shutter the theater once more before opening night. Harriet is drawn into the mystery when she uncovers a startling Pride and Prejudice was the last production staged at the Beacon before it closed decades ago, right after a young actress vanished without a trace. As Harriet digs into the cold case, she must untangle fact from legend to unmask the modern-day saboteur—before the past repeats itself. Filled with small-town charm, layered characters, and an atmospheric mystery that bridges past and present, Pride, Prejudice and Pitfalls is a captivating addition to the beloved Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm series. Cozy, clever, and full of heart, it’s a story that will keep readers turning pages long into the night.
