The Mysterious Death of Miss Jane Austen - Softcover

"No zombies and none of the twee twaddle that characterizes too many Austen pastiches. Rather, this is a lively Regency romance about murder, serial adulteries, and other pastimes of your typical extended family. In this year marking the bicentenary of the publication of Pride and Prejudice, this addition nicely complements P.D. James's Death Comes to Pemberley and will fill the gap until Jo Baker's eagerly awaited Longbourn (P&P seen from below stairs) is released this fall." - Library Journal
