Jane and the ghosts of Netley being a Jane Austen mystery

Barron, Stephanie. (Author).

Summary: A confounding case of intrigue, murder, and high treason. Among the haunted ruins of an ancient abbey, Jane Austen is drawn into a shadow world of dangerous secrets and traitorous hearts where not only her life is at stake--but the fate of England. As she stands before the abandoned ruins of Netley Abbey, Jane imagines that ghosts really do haunt the centuries-old monastery. But the green-cloaked figure who startles her is all too human and he bears an unexpected missive from Lord Harold Trowbridge, one of the British government's most trusted advisers--and a man who holds a high place in Jane's life. Trowbridge tells Jane about a suspected traitor in their midst--and the disastrous consequences if she succeeds. But is Sophia Challoner, a beautiful widow with rumored ties to Emperor Bonaparte, really an agent of the enemy? Dispatched to Netley Lodge, Jane sets about gaining the confidence of the mysterious and intriguing lady even as Trowbridge's grim prediction bears fruit: a British frigate is set afire and its shipwright found with his throat cut. It's clear that someone is waging a clandestine war of terror and murder. But before Jane can follow the trail of conspiracy to its source and unmask a calculating killer, the cold hand of murder will fall mercilessly yet again--and suddenly Jane may find herself dying for her country.
