About THE JANE AUSTEN MURDERS an absolutely gripping cozy mystery novel
MEET HONEY DRIVER. HOTEL MANAGER. SINGLE MUM. AMATEUR SLEUTH? Originally published as Killing Jane Austen. Honey Driver is thrilled when members of a film crew check in to her hotel. They offer her work as an extra in their sumptuous new flick about Jane Austen. Honey jumps at the chance — any excuse to don a corset and a frilly bonnet — but soon finds out showbiz isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The cameras have barely begun to roll when . . . The film’s leading lady is found dead. Slumped over her dressing table in a pool of her own blood. Someone has stabbed the acid-tongued thespian with a hatpin. The only clue: a bloodstained script left at the scene. And, just like that, Honey finds she’s landed her own starring role. As prime suspect . . .
