Book Description:
Jane Austen is enjoying August, 1806, among Derbyshire's craggy peaks, sparkling streams, and cavernous gorges. That is, until she discovers the corpse of a young gentleman whose blond curls and delicate features suggest the face of an angel.
More shocking still is the coroner's revelation: the deceased is no man but a maidservant - clad in the garb of her master, Mr. Charles Danforth of Penfolds Hall. Tess Arnold had ruled the stillroom at Penfolds for many years -Âuntil she was labeled a witch and dismissed for indiscretion. Was Tess the prey of a madman loose in the hills, or perchance the cast-off impediment to a gentleman's marriage?
As usual, Jane's acute perception and her nose for trouble place her supremely at risk ÃÂ from a killer who may strike as violently by day as he once did by night....

While enjoying a ramble in the Derbyshire hills near Bakewell (a town Eliza Bennett visits in Pride and Prejudice), Jane discovers the mutilated body of a young man. The "editor's notes" that punctuate the text and old cures for various ills that open each chapter add to the charm. I have really enjoyed this series of books!

I love this series - true to period and Jane's writing style.
Ms. Barron does an EXCELLENT job bringing Jane Austen to life. This is the 5th Jane Austen Mystery and one you won't want to miss!
