(Being the 7th Jane Austen Mystery)

Jane Austen finds her crime-solving mettle put to the test in a confounding case of intrigue, murder, and high treason. Among the haunted ruins of an ancient abbey, Jane is drawn into a shadow world of dangerous secrets and traitorous hearts where not only her life is at stake--but the fate of England.

1. When Jane entertains the thought that she might actually be the one lady Lord Harold loves in all the world(147-8).
2. fantasy: That Jane & Harold marry & go on secret gov missions together.
3. I don‘t think I can beat ā€Jaarold!ā€¯
4. Sophia is my 2nd favorite character- stylish, independent, worldly, true friend to Jane
5. ā€Oh, to walk in such a place under the chill of moonlight,of a summer evening,when the air off the Solent might stir the š”½

kspenmoll the dead to speak! In such an hour, I could imagine myself, a heroine,straight from Mrs. Radcliffe‘s pen: the white train of my gown, sweeping over the ancient stones, my shadow but a wraith before me, and all the world suspended in silence between the storied past and the prosaic present.(1-2) 2y

kspenmoll 6. Jane seems to be more & more frustrated with her mother‘s taking to bed & feigning illness at her slightest whim. 7. The ending shocked me; I was so not ready for it, heartbroken! (edited) 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig Such a shocking moment! And the way story just stops. Even knowing it was coming I was š. 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig 1ļø¸ā£ I put off finishing because from #JaneandtheYear2020 knew Lord Harold, The Gentleman Rogue dies at the end. Even knowing it's coming still had me š

2ļø¸ā£ As a #Janeite I know Jane's life story. Had she married we would probably have never gotten her books. But still I want her and Lord Harold to have secretly wed, continuing to solve mysteries, and Jane still having time to writing books. One can dream.

Crinoline_Laphroaig 3ļø¸ā£ Jaarold doesn't seem to be grand enough. I

4ļø¸ā£ Really liked brother Frank in this one. He's again added another word to my vocabulary - havey- cavey. 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig 5ļø¸ā£So many good quotes! ā€You cry, dear? Waste. Should've married you years ago.ā€¯ .......ā€Promise me . . . you will write. Heroineā€”ā€¯ 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig 7ļø¸ā£ Rather obsessed w/ Jane's gown and want to Cosplay it - 'the cunning design of opened lapels, split bodice buttoned down the centre, and delicate bows tied beneath the right breast. The high white ruff Ć la reine Elizabeth, with Vandyke pleating, Equestrian Hat, and dove- grey paisley shawl, figured in black and gold. '

TheBookHippie First I want the dress. And yes had she ever married we wouldn‘t have the gift of her writing how sad is that?!?! 2y

TheBookHippie I suspect that too much breeding is at the heart of the trouble--but too much breeding is the lot of all women who marry young, particularly when they are so fortunate as to make a love-match. Elizabeth Bridges, third daughter of a baronet, was but eighteen when she wed, and only five-and-thirty when she passed from this life. With her strength of character, she ought to have lived to be eighty. 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @TheBookHippie such a great dress! 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @TheBookHippie I'll take my chances financially as a spinster writer rather than dying after giving birth to my 11th child like Jane's sister in law. 2y

TheBookHippie @Crinoline_Laphroaig right the more I read of that time the more I‘m convinced single was the way to go ā€¦however money šµā€¨š’« 2y

TheBookHippie @Crinoline_Laphroaig also reminded me of religious practices today of some who have to have children til they die or menopause šµā€¨š’«ā€¦ 2y

TheBookHippie @Crinoline_Laphroaig I want to make all these dresses and have a proper tea party š¤£ 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @TheBookHippie yes please! 2y

#booksandcoffee. Began this book this morning, but was interrupted by a visit to the vet. Poe has not eaten, drunk water, or peed since Saturday. He is staying for hydration, blood work, x-rays. His breathing had been somewhat labored which a concern since he has always had a heart murmur. Appreciate good wishes, thought, prayers- thank you Littens. š’

Jane and the Ghosts of Netley | Stephanie Barron

Yesterday the light was really good for pictures in my apartment so I photographed all the books I‘ve read recently. This is the Jane Austen mystery I finished last week. I actually think it‘s one of my new favesā€”it was the 2nd book to take place in Southampton, so we got to see recurring townspeople. It also was more dealing with intrigue than murder. Also it set up a continuing storyline which seems very exciting. Can‘t wait to read book 8!
