Jane Austen Giveaway Hop

 
Welcome to my stop on the Jane Austen Giveaway Hop!

There will be a different book given away at each of the stops. At the bottom of this post are all the sites participating in the book hop. Make sure to visit (and follow) everyone and enter their giveaways! :-)

So, on to my part in the hop!

I'm giving away a Kindle copy of one of Stephanie Barron's wonderful Jane Austen Mysteries (winner's choice). Simply leave a comment with your email address so I can contact you...and if you choose to follow my blog I'll enter you in my giveaway twice. Good luck and have fun!!!

 


1. Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor (1996)
Visiting the estate of her friend Isobel, the newly married Countess of Scargrave, Jane Austen is drawn into a mystery when Isobel's husband dies suspiciously and the bereaved young bride is implicated in the murder.

2. Jane and the Man of the Cloth (1997)
Taking refuge at dismal High Down Grange Manor after a carriage accident, Jane Austen and her family meet the forbidding Geoffrey Sidmouth and his mysterious companion, who are somehow tied to a strange murder by the sea.

3. Jane and the Wandering Eye (1998)
English novelist Jane Austen is hired by the roguish nobleman, Lord Harold Trowbridge, to shadow his niece, Lady Desdemona, during Christmastime in Bath.

4. Jane and the Genius of the Place (1999)
A flamboyant French beauty, known for her brazen behavior, is found gruesomely strangled in a shabby chaise at the Canterbury Races. As rumors spread like wildfire that Napoleon's fleet is bound for Kent, Jane suspects that the murder was an act of war rather than a crime of passion. Suddenly the peaceful fields of Kent are a very dangerous place... and Jane's thirst for justice may exact the steepest price of all - her life.

5. Jane and the Stillroom Maid (2000)
Jane's cousin, Mr. Edward Cooper, rector of Hamstall Ridware, Staffordshire, takes her, her mother, and sister to the town of Bakewell in Derbyshire. The bucolic English countryside and bubbling streams seem to be a perfect fit for them - until Jane finds a body in the hills. The victim has been shot in the head and mutilated and, although dressed as a man, is actually a beautiful stillroom maid, Tess Arnold.

6. Jane and the Prisoner of Wool House (2001)
Jane's brother Frank, an officer who served under Nelson at Trafalgar, can't believe that his friend Tom Seagrave, commanding officer of the Stella Maris, killed the captain of the French frigate Manon moments after he'd surrendered his ship to Seagrave, despite the testimony of a junior officer. Ministering to the French prisoners of war housed at Wool House, Jane soon discovers another witness to the incident, a dashing and romantic surgeon whose account might save Seagrave from the gallows.

7. Jane and the Ghosts of Netley (2003)
England is fighting France, and Lord Harold Trowbridge has set Jane to spy on a new neighbor, Sophia Challoner, whom he suspects of spying for Napoleon. Due to a fortuitous riding accident, Jane befriends the woman and her companion, a mysterious young American. Suddenly, a covert and violent war erupts in the quiet seaside community when a ship of the line is torched and the shipwright, killed.

8. Jane and His Lordship's Legacy (2005)
Jane and her mother have just arrived at their new residence, Chawton Cottage, when Jane is greeted with two surprises: Lord Harold has willed her a box containing his personal correspondence, and the body of one Shafto French is lying in Chawton's cellar. Both discoveries bring trouble to Jane's door, not the least of which is resentment from Lord Harold's family, who object to Jane being given the papers. Jane can't help but be curious about the papers and the murder, leading her to read the former and attempt to solve the latter.

9. Jane and the Barque of Frailty (2006)
Jane is at the London theater during a visit to her brother Henry when she glimpses a Russian princess gazing intently at the box of prominent politician Lord Castlereagh. That night, the princess is found dead outside Castlereagh's home. Unconvinced by the appearance of suicide, Jane begins inquiries that eventually encompass high society and their servants, politicians of every stripe and even courtesans.

10. Jane and the Madness of Lord Byron (2010)
The restorative power of the ocean brings Jane Austen and her beloved brother Henry, to Brighton after Henry’s wife is lost to a long illness. But the crowded, glittering resort is far from peaceful, especially when the lifeless body of a beautiful young society miss is discovered in the bedchamber of none other than George Gordon—otherwise known as Lord Byron. As a poet and a seducer of women, Byron has carved out a shocking reputation for himself—but no one would ever accuse him of being capable of murder. Now it falls to Jane to pursue this puzzling investigation and discover just how “mad, bad, and dangerous to know” Byron truly is.
