Jane and the Wandering Eye by Stephanie Barron
As Christmas of 1804 approaches, Jane Austen finds herself insupportably bored with Bath, and the littleness of a town. It is with relief that she accepts a peculiar commission from her Gentleman Rogue, Lord Harold Trowbridge--to shadow his niece, Lady Desdemona, who has fled to Bath to avoid the attentions of the unsavoury Earl of Swithin. But Jane's idle diversion turns deadly when a man is discovered stabbed to death in the Theatre Royal. Adding to the mystery is an unusual object found on the victim's body--a pendant that contains a portrait of an eye As Jane's fascination with scandal leads her deeper into the investigation, it becomes clear that she will not uncover the truth without some dangerous playacting of her own.
Stephanie Barron studied history at Princeton and Stanford, where she was an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Fellow in the Humanities. She is the author of the historical suspense novels A Flaw in the Blood and The White Garden, as well as the critically acclaimed and nationally bestselling Jane Austen Mystery series. A former intelligence analyst for the CIA, Barron--who also writes under the name Francine Mathews--drew on her experience in espionage for such novels as Jack 1939, which The New Yorker described as one of the most deliciously high-concept thrillers imaginable. She lives and works in Denver, Colorado.
