Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Journalist Samantha Berry is killed whilst attending a Regency-themed weekend run by Kitty and James Oswood, apparently on her way to receive information. The murder weapon is a poisoned quill, stolen from Gemma Christie's Jane Austen tea shop though Barnaby is also interested in a drone delivery service used by James' stepmother, pharmacist Mary Oswood, whose premises are broken into and its computer destroyed. James clearly has a guilty secret Samantha was keen to expose but when a drone, borrowed by Ray, Kitty's brother-in-law, is involved in another murder Barnaby must work out whether Oswood's past or opposition to the drones caused death by persuasion.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The tea room guest book contains the names Tom Coates, Lily O'Hara, and Alex Moat. They are the standby art director, key floor runner, and script supervisor, respectively. See more » |
| Goofs | In order to fly drones in the UK, a person must register, pass a test, and get an operator's ID. The criminal record of the young man in the medical drone office may mean they are flying drones illegally. See more » |
