The Mysterious Death of Miss Jane Austen/ Lindsay Ashford/ 420 pages

We went 20 minutes over in our discussion and we didn't even get to the clips of the BBC documentary on youtube, I had queued up!

Anyway, you can pretty much tell what the book is about by the title.  You really end up learning a lot about Jane Austen's family, which I found very interesting.  But, Jane Austen died at age 41 after a long illness and there is suspicion of fowl play.  The narrator is a lesbian, but really the book is not about that--although the introduction might have you wondering.  So, lots of different things to talk about with this title!
