Product Description

From Amazon.com

It's evident from the opening lines of Jane and the Wandering Eye that author Stephanie Barron knows both her Regency-period England and her Jane Austen. In this novel, the famous author takes center stage and finds herself embroiled in nefarious doings--in this case, the murder of a theater manager. As in the series' other books, Jane herself tells the story through a series of journal entries, and it is in her heroine's voice that Barron's genius comes to light: the same sharp eye for detail and ironic understanding of human character that informed Miss Austen's novels are hard at work in this fictional account of her sideline occupation as a sleuth. Though the mystery at the heart of Jane and the Wandering Eye is hardly a nail-biter, the wonderful mix of fictional and historical characters--all rendered up with Austenian wit--that inhabit this murderous comedy of manners are what will keep readers going to the very last page--and coming back for more. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Library Journal

This third Jane Austen mystery, following Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor (LJ 4/01/96) and Jane and the Man of the Cloth (LJ 12/15/96), has the same charming period authenticity, historical footnotes, and facts from Austen's life that characterize the earlier novels. While these are a draw, they cannot overcome the slow-moving, convoluted plot, in which Jane delves into the lives of some of the leading theatrical lights as she helps her friend Lord Harold Trowbridge save his nephew from execution for a murder he didn't commit. Only for Austen, and Barron, aficianados.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Information About Theatre, Jul 8 2004

By	M. Bechyne "free_fall" (Downey, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was just as slow and ponderous as the first too, but had alot of interesting information about Regency era theatre. Still not very witty, either.

5.0 out of 5 stars Here's a little secret about these books, Jan 25 2004

By A Customer

They're not REALLY written by Jane Austen. If you want to read a book by Jane Austen, buy "Emma" or "Persuasion." If you want to read one written by an Austen scholar and admirer, try these. They're really interesting and quite charming. I think it's brilliant that Barron has invested her creativity in this tribute to her favorite writer. Maybe some Austenites are just too die-hard to appreciate the concept. Personally, I find these novels well designed and very entertaining. Wish I could write as well as this author does.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Intriguing Concept, Jul 30 2002

By	Lawrence E. Wilson (Mayfield, East Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the third of a series of not-at-all-unpleasant mysteries from Stephanie Barron, written with the conceipt that they are actually long-lost journals from the pen of Jane Austen, found in a distant American relative's belongings, and detailing Jane's family, friends, society and the mysterious events in which she keeps finding herself embroiled...In this volume, a man is murdered during a masquerade party during a Christmastide in fashionable Bath, and whispers a name as he expires--but how many women happened to be named "Maria" during Austen's time?

These novels are like brief vacations to a vanished never-land of Regency England...The period detailing seems authentic; the language is Austen-like, as far as that can go, and there are pseudo-scholarly footnotes to explain unfamiliar terms and concepts. Well worth reading!
