Entertaining and a good mystery - By: Mrs. D. J. Smith, 10 Jan 2005
This is the sixth bookin Stephanie Barron's series featuring a sleuthing Jane Austen. Obviously the stories are fictional, but they are woven cleverly into the story we know of Jane Austen's life. Phrases appear throughout the book, which will seem familiar to anyone with a good knowledge of Austen's work & I think Barron often has Mrs Bennetin mind when writing Mrs Austen! The mystery plot is quite good, if a little gruesome, & I love the character of Lord Harold - The Gentleman Rouge - who has appearedin previous stories. Barron also provides us with a strong cast of supporting characters, which make this an enjoyable way to while away a few hours.
