After publishing Pete Trewin's previous book Not Without Risk, I was thrilled when he presented me with another in the same style. Pete has an edgy style that I really love, and he's produced an excellent mystery/thriller.

A 5 Star Review for ‘In Search of Jane Austen’
If you're wondering whether or not to pick up a copy of Ken Methold's latest book, In Search of Jane Austen, this great review should convince you. It was written by one of the Awesome Indies Book Awards assessors Charles Ray. When actress/playwright Sarah Kedron is summoned to Carlton House, home of the Prince of Wales, eldest son and heir of the mentally ill King George III and Prince Regent, she goes out of a sense of royal obligation, not expecting much to come of the visit.

The supposedly reclusive Austen, just after her death the previous year, was the author of two of the most popular books in England. With the assistance of her close friend and companion, Elizabeth, and the support of her father, owner of one of London’s most widely-read newssheets, she begins an investigation into Austen’s life, turning over stones that some … [Read more...]
Coming soon: In Search of Jane Austen: An Investigation of a Life by Ken Methold
What I like about this short book on the life of Jane Austen is that it deals with biographical material in a unique and interesting way. Though the story of Jane’s life that amateur sleuth Sarah Kedron uncovers is true, the story of Sarah Kedron’s investigation is fictional. Considering that there is still some confusion over the details of Jane’s life, this book is an excellent and entertaining way of learning the facts. DESCRIPTION After Jane Austen’s death at the tragically young age of forty-two, her brother Henry published a brief biography of her life which seemed to contradict the view of others who’d known her. Intrigued by the mystery of the conflicting stories, the Prince Regent’s librarian asks Regency playwright and amateur detective Sarah Kedron to uncover the truth about Jane. Sarah takes up the challenge and interviews family members, publishers, friends, in fact, everyone who could throw some light on matter. This fascinating account of Jane’s life is … [Read more...]
