A couple of years ago, I really jumped into this series. I do not consider myself a mystery reader, but I really enjoyed these books. Perhaps it is because the main character is Jane Austen, and I have been known to enjoy an Austen book or two.Jane, her mother, sister, and cousin are on a trip to Derbysire (which is beautiful country, I must add). On an afternoon of visiting the countryside, Jane discovers a dead, and mutilated body. It turns out that while on first appearing like a man, the truth is shared that it is the Stillroom maid from a local estate.
Naturally, Jane , with the help of Lord Harold, begin to uncover clues as to the murder of this less than admirable woman. There a web of falsehoods and lies, they discover the truth and save the person that appears to be taking the blame.
I must admit, I had a hard time getting into this book. So if you have liked the others, but find this one slow going in the beginning: stick with it.
