As a compliment - this was a library book and I contemplated buying a copy.  The premise of the book is interesting and the plot also takes the reader to important places in Austen's life.

The books are set during the reign of Henry VIII and one thing that I've really enjoyed is that the mysteries being solved are all related to political events current at the time.
