Sadly I got stuck on the fact that the main character "Jane" does not come anywhere close to resembling the sharp-witted language of the real Jane Austen. The flowery-worded narration does resemble Regency-style writing close enough to be enjoyable, and the mystery might have been a good one, but Jane Austen was no mild-mannered, self-effacing miss, at least not in her private correspondence. The imaginary Jane Austen in this novel more closely resembles a JA character than herself--so I couldn't finish it. I hope others are not so picky and can enjoy it more. I had high hopes for this series, and perhaps in a different mood I can come back to it and be less demanding.
