There's only, I think, a single novel in the original run of Sharpe stories by Bernard Conrwell in which Sharpe spends most of his time in England.

That's Sharpe's Regiment.

Beatrix Potter is checking out the property she just bought in the Lake District of England. But figuring out what to do with her tenants is the least of the problems. There have been a rash of burglaries and a woman died under mysterious circumstances. The book was cute but very slow.
