Publisher's summary

For everyone who loves Jane Austen...a marvelously entertaining new series that turns the incomparable author into an extraordinary sleuth!

On a visit to the estate of her friend, the young and beautiful Isobel Payne, countess of Scargrave, Jane bears witness to a tragedy. Isobel's husband - a gentleman of mature years - is felled by a mysterious and agonizing ailment.

The earl's death seems a cruel blow of fate for the newly married Isobel. Yet the bereaved widow soon finds that it's only the beginning of her misfortune...as she receives a sinister missive accusing her and the earl's nephew of adultery - and murder. Desperately afraid that the letter will expose her to the worst sort of scandal, Isobel begs Jane for help.

And Jane finds herself embroiled in a perilous investigation that will soon have her following a trail of clues that leads all the way to Newgate Prison and the House of Lords - a trail that may well place Jane's own person in the gravest jeopardy.

Critic reviews

“There’s plenty to enjoy in this crime-solving side of Jane.... [She] is as worthy a detective as Columbo.” (USA Today)

“Happily succeeds on all levels: a robust tale of manners and mayhem that faithfully reproduces the Austen style - and engrosses to the finish.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Splendid fun!” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis)
