Books like Murder most Austen by Tracy Kiely
Elizabeth Parker, a dedicated Anglophile and Janeite, is looking forward to the Jane Austen Festival in Bath but finds herself distracted by her lack of a job and uncertain future with her boyfriend. On the plane ride, she meets Professor Zackary Baines, a self-proclaimed expert on all things Austen. Baines claims that within each Austen novel there is another darker secondary story, usually involving sordid behavior. Baines, a professor at a college, is stabbed to death during the costume ball at the festival. Elizabeth and her Aunt Winnie don't take Baines or his findings seriously, but they must, because someone must. The novel combines the wit and spunk of Austen's protagonists with a contemporary traditional mystery, creating an entertaining puzzle. Austen fans are in for a big treat.
