About this listen
Writer-in-residence Penelope Parish will need to use every trick in her quaint British bookshop to unravel a murderous plot that threatens to ruin a ducal wedding.
The wedding of the duke and duchess of Upper Chumley - on Stoke has all the makings of a fairy tale, complete with a glowing bride and horse-drawn carriage. But it wouldn't be much of a story without a villain, and as American Gothic novelist Penelope Parish is coming to learn, happy-ever-afters are as fraught in this charming British town as they are in her books.
When the duke's former girlfriend is found murdered at the reception, it's up to Penelope and her newfound family at the Open Book bookshop to catch the killer before they strike again.

Penelope Parish has hit a streak of bad luck, including a severe case of writer's block that is threatening her sophomore book. Hoping a writer in residence position at The Open Book bookstore in Upper Chumley-on-Stoke, England, will shake the cobwebs loose, Pen, as she's affectionately known, 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 Charlotte Davenport, an American romance novelist and the future duchess of Worthington.

Summer is busy season for Mackenzie "Mac" Almeida's bicycle shop, nestled in the quaint, seaside hamlet of Westham, Massachusetts. She's expecting an influx of tourists at Mac's Bikes; instead she discovers the body of Jake Lacey. Mac can't imagine anyone stabbing the down-on-his-luck handyman. However, the authorities seem to think Mac is a strong suspect after she was spotted arguing with Jake just hours before his death. Mac knows she didn't do it, but she does recognize the weapon - her brother Derrick's fishing knife.

Determined to have the perfect English garden, her first job is to tear down the old shed, where she unearths much more than she’d bargained for: a body, apparently buried for decades. But who could it be, and who killed them? The police draw a blank, and even the gossip-fest that is the local book club can’t remember anyone going missing in the village.

Tucked away among Devon's rolling green hills, Mallowan Hall combines the best of English tradition with the modern conveniences of 1930. Housekeeper Phyllida Bright, as efficient as she is personable, manages the large household with an iron fist in her very elegant glove. In one respect, however, Mallowan Hall stands far apart from other picturesque country houses. The manor is home to archaeologist Max Mallowan and his famous wife, Agatha Christie.

Awesome cozy mystery with wonderful characters!
A Fatal Footnote is the 2nd book in Margaret Loudon’s The Open Book Mysteries and both books in the series are fantastic! Exactly what I love in a cozy mystery! The characters are likable and interesting. The cozy mystery kept me guessing until the end. There is friendship, family, and potential romance. The main character, Penelope (Pen) Parish has common sense most of the time. Pen and a few of her friends have been invited to the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Upper Chumley-on-Stoke. During the reception a guest is found dead and another guest is found dead later on. There are a reasonable number of suspects. Pen’s sister Beryl arrives on her doorstep which rounds out the characters. Pen works at The Open Book Bookstore with Mabel and Figgy. Brody McGuire is a Police Detective who Pen likes. The characters are what makes this cozy mystery so very enjoyable! I had the audiobook, narrated by Marnye Young and it is very well done! It is easy to follow and the characters are easy to differentiate. #AFatalFootnote
