GIVEAWAY: Jane and the Canterbury Tale by Stephanie Barron



Three years after news of her scandalous husband’s death, Adelaide Fiske is at the altar again, her groom a soldier on the Marquis of Wellington’s staff. The prospects seem bright for one of the most notorious women in Kent—until Jane Austen discovers a corpse on the ancient Pilgrim’s Way that runs through her brother Edward’s estate. As First Magistrate for Canterbury, Edward is forced to investigate, with Jane as his reluctant assistant. But she rises to the challenge and leaves no stone unturned, discovering mysteries deeper than she could have anticipated. It seems that Adelaide’s previous husband has returned for the new couple’s nuptials—only this time, genuinely, profoundly dead. But when a second corpse appears beside the ancient Pilgrim’s Way, Jane has no choice but to confront a murderer, lest the next corpse be her own.

The rules:

- to participate, just leave a comment
- open to US & Canada
- one entry per household
- the giveaway closes October 20

A big thanks to Stephanie Barron for her generosity.
Good luck !

    If you're new to the Jane mysteries I write, by all means read the short story in JANE AUSTEN MADE ME DO IT; that'll give you a taste of the longer books. And do check out my blog post below, or my website and blog--www.stephaniebarron.com. I've been writing a post each month on the background to each novel--there are eleven in the series. Cheers!

    I love this author and have read all, but this last book. Even for new Regency era readers her annotated definitions keep everyone in the loop with the older terms. She really is in tune with her inner Jane Austen when she writes and the mystery plots are great.
    Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the giveaway.
