A MURDER MOST AUSTEN
KIELY, TRACY
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
A dedicated Anglophile and Janeite, Elizabeth Parker is hoping the trip to the Jane Austen Festival in Bath
will distract her from her lack of a job and her uncertain future with her boyfriend. On the plane ride, she and
Aunt Winnie meet Professor Zackary Baines, a self-proclaimed expert on all things Austen. He claims that within
each Austen novel there is another darker secondary story, usually involving sordid behavior. He claims to know
the true cause of Austen's death, and it's a truth which will greatly outrage Austen fans. Elizabeth and Aunt
Winnie don't take him or his findings seriously. But someone must, because during the costume ball, Baines is
stabbed to death.
