About this audiobook
"There's plenty to enjoy in the crime-solving side of Jane....[She] is as worthy a detective as Columbo." -USA Today
On a raw February morning, Jane Austen first learns of the case of Captain Tom Seagrave, who faces execution for a murder he swears he didn't commit. Together, she and her brother Frank, a post captain in the Royal Navy, set out to uncover the truth.
It is a journey that leads from the troubled heart of Seagrave's family, through the seaport's worst sinkholes, and finally to the prison of Wool House. Risking contagion or worse, Jane comes away with more questions than answers. Did one of Seagrave's jealous colleagues frame the unpopular captain? Was a veiled political foe at work? And what of the sealed orders under which Seagrave embarked that fateful night on his ship, the Stella Maris?
Then death surfaces again...and Jane must race to untangle the final knots-before she is caught in a killer's net.
From the Compact Disc edition.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'd read the print version years ago, long enough that I'd forgotten who was the killer. Ms. Reading's narration was very suitable to the text. I hope my local library buys more audio editions of this enjoyable series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This series gets better and better! This book is set in Southampton in late February of 1807. There's a lot about the Roayl navy and navy life in general at this time in England's history. There is also a lot of murder, mayhem, skullduggery, spying, all fueled by greed. Jane and her brother Frank are trying to save the life of a sea captain who has been charged with war crimes at sea. He is accused of killing the captain of an enemy ship after the surrender flag had gone up. Frank knows that Captain Seagrave could not have done this deed, but as he and Jane try to determine who did, they run across a cruel and evil plot which places Captain Seagrave right in the middle of the scheme, and it's going to be difficult to prove his innocence. Jane and Frank also stumble on a French spy who spies for England. As the plot unfolds, it endangers the life of this French prisoner. This book is engrossing and it also full of surprises. It sure kept me interested anyway!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I loved the atmosphere in this novel, as well as the action and the introduction of Jane's brother, Frank (and family). The mystery seemed convoluted to me - and never satisfactorily tied all the ends together. Also - I missed the 'Gentleman Rogue' (thought I guess he can't be in EVERY novel!)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book series in which Jane Austen solves mysteries.
