5 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Jane K. Cleland returns with Jane Austen's Lost Letters, the fourteenth installment in the beloved Josie Prescott Antiques series, set on the rugged New Hampshire coast. Antiques appraiser Josie Prescott is in the midst of filming a segment for her new television show, Josies Antiques, when the assistant director interrupts to let her know she has a visitor. Josie reluctantly pauses production and goes outside, where she finds an elegant older woman waiting to see her. Veronica Sutton introduces herself as an old friend of Josies father, who had died twenty years earlier. Veronica seems fidgety, and after only a few minutes, hands Josie a brown paper-wrapped package, about the size of a shoebox, and leaves. Mystified, Josie opens the package, and gasps when she sees whats inside: a notecard bearing her namein her fathers handwritingand a green leather box. Inside the box are two letters in transparent plastic sleeves. The first bears the salutation, My dear Cassandra, the latter, Dearest Fanny. Both are signed Jane Austen. Could her father have really accidentally found two previously unknown letters by one of the worlds most beloved authorsJane Austen? Reeling, Josie tries to track down Veronica, but the woman has vanished without a trace. Josie sets off on the quest of a lifetime to learn what Veronica knows about her father and to discover whether the Jane Austen letters are real. As she draws close to the truth, she finds herself in danger, and learns that some people will do anything to keep a secreteven kill.

My husband tells me Emmy is letting me know that on no uncertain terms does she want me reading. Either that or she herself is reading upside down. #catsoflitsy #Emcat

KathyWheeler I go with the idea that she‘s reading upside down. My cat turned the pages on the book I was reading on my iPad. I decided he was telling me that I read too slow. 😄 2y
RaeLovesToRead Awwww Emmy!!! 🥰🥰 2y
BookBabe Aww kitty! 😻 2y

kspenmoll @KathyWheeler Don‘t you love our mischievous cats? They certainly let us know what they think or want- especially since reading takes us away from them!!! 2y
KathyWheeler @kspenmoll I do! The one that turned the pages on my iPad is a big one — 16 lbs — he‘s not even a year old. He‘s either all or part Maine Coon. 2y

“ I was a walker…walking was my favorite way to see the world close up… I tracked along the beach…”
—Josie Prescott, Jane Austen‘s Lost Letters
I too am a walker in nature everywhere, but the beach is in my blood. It‘s how I see “ the world close up”, relax, rejuvenate, recharge, either alone or with others.

kspenmoll Ok so as I was reading the first 40 pages of Lost Roses, I realized I had read it before, just a few months ago, but had not moved it from my TBR shelves! 🤪 2y
