Jane and the Genius of the Place - Being the Fourth Jane Austen Mystery (Paperback)


For everyone who loves Jane Austen...The fourth engaging mystery in the series that recasts the well-loved author as a sleuth!

In the waning days of summer, Jane Austen is off to the Canterbury Races, where the rich and fashionable gamble away their fortunes.  It is an atmosphere ripe for scandal--but even Jane is unprepared for the shocking drama that unfolds.  A flamboyant French beauty, known for her brazen behavior, is found gruesomely strangled in a shabby chaise.  While many urge the arrest of a known scoundrel with eyes for the victim, Jane looks further afield and finds a number of acquaintances behaving oddly.

As rumors spread like wildfire that Napoleon's fleet is bound for Kent, Jane suspects that the murder was an act of war rather than a crime of passion.  Suddenly the peaceful fields of Kent are a very dangerous place...and Jane's thirst for justice may exact the steepest price of all--her life.
