The romance of Charlie Ford-Griffin (happy-go-lucky, extroverted younger brother of Griff in THE AUSTEN PLAYBOOK) and introvert Allegra Hawthorne, whose book series was adapted into a West End play in book four. Set primarily at the Ford-Griffins' estate, Highbrook, and the neighbouring village, these two fall hopelessly in love amidst a murder mystery house party that turns a little too real.
