    A witty, engaging murder mystery featuring Jane Austen as an intrepid amateur sleuth—the first book in a series

    Jane Austen—sparkling, spirited and incredibly clever—is suddenly thrust into a mystery when a milliner’s dead body is found locked inside a cupboard during the middle of a ball. When Jane’s brother Georgie is found with some jewellery that belonged to the deceased, the local officials see it as an open-and-shut case, one which is likely to end with Georgie’s death. Jane is certain that her brother is innocent, and that there is much more to the murder than meets the eye.

    Jane’s investigations take her on a lively journey through local society as her suspect list keeps growing—and her keen skill for observation will be put to the test in solving this crime and saving her brother.
