Photo Research Journal: Lyme Park or Country Homes to Die For

by | Jul 29, 2014

I had an idea to write a mystery series set in an English village, but since I don’t live in England I had to travel to England. (It was a tough job, but someone had to do it!)

I was able to visit Lyme Park, which was used as the exterior of Pemberly in the BBC mini series version of Pride and Prejudice. No photos from inside the house, as photography wasn’t allowed. :(

Not bad for an amateur photographer, right?

A selfie stick wasn’t quite long enough . . .

My visit to Lyme Park and Chatsworth House inspired me to write Death in an Stately Home, the third book in the Murder on Location series. If you like twisty mysteries set in country homes, you’ll love the Murder on Location series.
