Title Description
In this ingenious novel - first in a series - Stephanie Barron imagines Jane Austen had used her wit and powers of observation as a sleuth before becoming an author.

In her first case, Jane has scarcely arrived at the estate of her friend, Isobel Payne, when a mysterious ailment fells Isobel's husband, the Earl of Scargrave. Worse yet, Isobel gets a letter accusing her of the murder - and adultery to boot. Wisely, Isobel turns to Jane, who starts sifting through the motives of the Scargrave Manor's guests.

"Ms. Barron's skillful rendering of Austen's style is an ideal vehicle for this cozy murder mystery." (The New York Times)

A clever book and very true to the Austen style. But this Jane Austen is the person the author wanted her to be, not, perhaps, the one she was.
