JANE AND THE WATERLOO MAP

In this mystery the sleuth is none other than Jane Austen. Equally at home creating engaging characters and telling a story written in Austen’s style, narrator Kate Reading quickly involves the listener in this literary whodunit. The author has hastened to London to attend to her brother, Henry, who’s most unwell. As events unfold from Jane’s point of view, she stumbles across a dying man in a library who has just enough breath to utter a clue—“Waterloo Map”—which sets Jane on her investigation of his death. Reading is spot-on in capturing the Austen tone while sharing an engaging amount of actual Austen history in a manner sure to please fans of detective novels and Jane Austen’s works alike.
