Jane and the Twelve Days of Christmas: Being a Jane Austen MysteryJane and the Twelve Days of Christmas: Being a Jane Austen Mystery by Stephanie Barron
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jane and family set out for a holiday visit to a neighboring manor and become embroiled in mystery when a courier, bearing a peace treaty, is found dead after spending the night. Barron is adept at capturing Austen's voice and her characters hold true to Austen's descriptions in journals and letters. From wry to guardedly romantic, Jane is an entertaining narrator to the lifestyles-of-the-gentry and the various intrigues and mysteries.
