I enjoy Regencies, Jane Austen, and mysteries; how could I not like this book? Of course, I read it and all the footnotes, and I thoroughly loved it.

Barron plays fair with the readers concerning the guilty party. This one had me guessing to the end, so it was quite satisfying. The historical footnotes always have good information about the time and the customs; I always learn something new. And while this can be read out of order, start with the first book, Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor.

The series is highly recommended for fans of Regencies and mysteries. ( )

An enjoyable and well-written mystery ( )

3rd book in an interesting series in which Jane Austen herself is the protagonist, solving riddles of intrigue. Made even more amusing by the statement that the series is based on secret writings kept by Jane and supplemented with actual letters, etc. that she did indeed write. ( )

This is book 3 in the series, and I'm getting a bit tired of the device (Jane Austen as an amateur sleuth). ( )

A rout-party, when depicted by a pen more accomplished than my own, is invariably a stupid affair of some two or three hundred souls pressed elbow-to-elbow in the drawing-rooms of the great.

"More lives have been ruined — more spirits broken — from a fear of idle gossip and report, than are numbered on Napoleon's battlefields, Miss Austen."
The precarious ground of Camden Place might readily serve as metaphor, for all in mankind that prefer false grandeur to a more stable propriety.
For any man may possess a heart, and the most wounded sensibility, though he parade like a peacock and grin like a monkey.
"I do confess, Lord Harold, that with so much of sorrow to be found in the everyday — tragedies, perhaps, of a smaller scale — I can but wonder that we pay so often for the privilege of enduring it. When I exert my energies towards the theatre, I hope to be transported — to leave such griefs and disappointments behind."
(From Jane and the Wandering Eye p 24)

"when 'tis done, then 'twere well
It were done quickly. If th' assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease, success; that but this blow-"
