Yes, I've been waiting with bated breath to see how Jane's advancing illness would be incorporated into the story.

Found it on Stephanie Barron's Facebook page in November.
"Happy to announce I’m writing the 14th Jane Austen Mystery, JANE AND THE YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER, for Juliet Grames at Soho. Jane and Cassandra spend the month of May, 1816, at the spa town of Cheltenham for their health...only to find another young woman’s life mysteriously threatened. Look for it in about a year or so—"

Oh Jane! Why did you have to die?


message 6: by Abigail (new)

Abigail Bok (regency_reader) Well, if you read The Jane Austen Project, perhaps she doesn't have to die!

First book in a new series. It was delightful! The characters are very entertaining. Fans of the Royal Spyness series will enjoy this one.
