Synopsis

The restorative power of the ocean brings Jane Austen and her beloved brother Henry, to Brighton after Henry’s wife is lost to a long illness. But the crowded, glittering resort is far from peaceful, especially when the lifeless body of a beautiful young society miss is discovered in the bedchamber of none other than George Gordon—otherwise known as Lord Byron. As a poet and a seducer of women, Byron has carved out a shocking reputation for himself—but no one would ever accuse him of being capable of murder. Now it falls to Jane to pursue this puzzling investigation and discover just how “mad, bad, and dangerous to know” Byron truly is. And she must do so without falling victim to the charming versifier’s legendary charisma, lest she, too, become a cautionary example for the ages.

Since this was a donation to my Little Free Library Shed, I came into this series late. This is the 10th in the series. Although… It is my understanding, that it still can be read as a stand-alone. In this one, it is apparent that Jane Austen is feeling her age. And… As a 40-year-old woman, she is con......more

On my second reading of this tenth book in Stephanie Barron’s delightful series, I am upping my rating to five stars. Not sure why this wasn’t one of my favorites the first time around. For those unfamiliar with the series, the books are first-person narratives told in Jane Austen’s voice, recounting......more
