This is the 10th book in a series I didn't know about. Since Lord Byron was in the title, I picked it up. It is Jane-Austen-like, Jane as sleuth, with good period description. It's interesting in terms of the mystery (dead girl in Byron's room) but the dialogue lacks the razor wit of the real Jane Austen. I would call the book an entertainment--sometimes, we need to read for sheer entertainment, nothing life-changing going on, just a fun episode, like SVU or Criminal Minds without the science. The footnotes in the book are highly informative and entertaining. The old bathing machines for the ocean swimmers, . . . we've come a long way, baby!
