Chatsworth House was another stop on my research trip and it inspired my fictional Parkview Hall in the Murder on Location series. It was too cold for me to do much exploring in the gardens the day I visited, but they did inspire me. Death in an English Garden (the sixth book in the series) is the result. :)

Pathway through the countryside around Chatsworth House grounds. I met some walkers who were on their way to Bakewell.
Loved this sign: “Dead Slow, Hoot.” Spotted it outside the gates of Chatsworth House, another example of the difference between American English and British English.
Love country home mysteries? Then you’ll enjoy Death in a Stately Home, the third book in the Murder on Location series.
