My current Austen in August read, Being a Jane Austen Mystery ! Interestingly, published in August 2011, and always a welcome addition from author, Stephanie Barron.. THe morning after attending a neighbouring friend's home for a wedding ball, Jane is participant in a different type of party. Her nephews' shooting party discovery of a dead body. Jane's brother, being magistrate of the area, invites Jane's insights throughout the investigation to the chagrin of other less enlightened male characters. The story does much in revealing Jane's character strengths and relational wisdom as sister, aunt, and friend. All relevant characters are well described and our interest in them built as the story unfolds. All is not as it may seem at first glimpse, keeping the reader on their toes to ensure not being fooled by the next revelation! Stephanie presents a wonderfully accurate to the era novel with excellent vocabulary and dialogue uncommon in today's JA reading market. Definitely above average in details and description, she keeps the pace moving without bogging this reader's interest down in non-essentials. Enough twists and "I wonder..." to keep the book close at hand for any possible spare reading moment! Ready to read the first chapter!? Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing your wealth of JA knowledge and your writing gift with avid Janeites! posting to Cym Lowell's Book Review Linkup Wednesday" blog post...
