I am reviewing a copy of The Jane Austen Investigates: The Abbey Mystery through Lion Fiction and Netgalley:
In 1789 a young Jane Austen turns detective as she seeks to solve the mysterious happenings at Southmoor Abbey. After a carriage accident forces a change of plans, 13-year-old Jane is sent to be a companion to Lady Cromwell for a week as the household prepares to celebrate the eldest son’s coming of age party. While she is there Jane makes a vow that she is going to solve the mystery of the ghostly monk in the Abbey grounds because she does not believe in such stories!
The mystery of the ghostly monk on the Abbey grounds is not the only occurrence for adventurous young Jane to investigate. There are also spooky night time investigations, an Indian girl with secret talents, a library fire, two prize horses in danger, and friends to save from false accusations.
Will Jane overcome the obstacles to finding the truth, with notebook in hand and faithful dog Grandison by her side.
This book would be a great adventure to read for those nine and over, especially if they love historical mysteries.
I give The Jane Austen Investigates, The Abbey Mystery five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
