About the Book

In the waning days of summer, Jane Austen is off to the Canterbury Races, where the rich and fashionable go to gamble away their fortunes. She is unprepared for the shocking drama that ensues when Francoise Grey, a raven-haired wanton, recklessly leaps the rail on her fleet black horse and joins the race. Only hours after Mrs. Grey has departed the race grounds in triumph, her lifeless body (minus her ruby riding habit) is found, gruesomely strangled. As rumors spread that Napoleon's fleet is bound for Kent, Jane begins to suspect that Grey's murder was an act of war rather than a crime of passion. The peaceful fields of Kent have become a very dangerous place...and Jane's thirst for justice may exact the steepest price of all - her life.

Review :
Lavish Praise for Stephanie Barron's Deliciously Entertaining Jane Austen Mysteries: "Ms. Barron's skillful rendering of Ms. Austen's style, attuned to picking up the most delicate fluctuations in social behavior, reveals it to be an ideal vehicle for the classic cozy murder mystery. Who knew?" --The New York Times Book Review "There's plenty to enjoy in the crime-solving side of Jane....[She] is as worthy a detective as Columbo." --USA Today "A real charmer." --San Francisco Chronicle "Historical fiction at its best." --Library Journal "Jane is unmistakably here with us through the work of Stephanie Barron--sleuthing, entertaining, and making us want to devour the next Austen adventure as soon as possible!" --Diane Mott Davidson "Splendid fun!" --Star Tribune, Minneapolis "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 "People who lament Jane Austen's minimal lifetime output...now have cause to rejoice." --The Drood Review of Mystery "Well-conceived, stylishly written, plotted with a nice twist...and brought off with a voice that works both for its time and our own." --Booknews from The Poisoned Pen "A lighthearted mystery...The most fun is that 'Jane Austen' is in the middle of it, witty and logical, a foil to some of the ladies who primp, faint and swoon." --The Denver Post "From the Hardcover edition."
