Loved, loved, loved this Book! Though I am not a fan of Jane Austen classics, this murder mystery is right up my alley.........even the finding of the historical letters from Jane to her sister's daughters that were edited by the author to create this mystery novel involved an archeological mystery of sorts (explained in the foreward in the book) !
The author's footnotes provide explanation to anyone not familiar with terms from the period so that shouldn't turn you off.
The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is that I reserve that rating for books that make a life-long impression on me.
