Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated Death by Pantyhose (A Jaine Austen Mystery, #6) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

The sixth Jaine Austen mystery finds Jaine agreeing to write jokes for an unfunny stand-up comic. But before she can get started, the woman is arrested for murder. The weapon, a pair of pantyhose. Definitely for those who love funny mysteries, this one will keep you laughing while you puzzle over the clues.

My absolute favourite book of all time.
A beautifully written debut novel. Stunning prose help to move the story in such a smooth way.
The story is effortless
The characters perfectly developed.
Proof that true love will over come all obstacles, even death. Character development is whole hearted and true, with everyone becoming something so much more than they were.
Best book ever!!!

Deborah (162 KP) rated Jane Austen Out of the Blue in Books

Even now I've finished it, I'm not entirely sure what to make of this one. It's a sequel of sorts to Sanditon, but includes other Austen characters and even the shade of the author herself, following her death. Nothing happens as you might expect and there's not really a very strong narrative drive through it. On one level I think it serves as a disection of the novel as a literary form. Strange.
