It's with much heart that Jane Austen occupies a new residence at Chawton Cottage in Hampshire. Secretly mourning the lost love of her life, she's stunned to discover that the late Lord Harold Trowbridge has made her heir to an extraordinary bequest: a Bengal chest filled with his diaries, letters, & most intimate correspondence. From these, Jane is likely to write a memoir of the Gentleman Rogue for posterity. But before she can put pen to paper on this labor of love, she discovers a corpse in the cellar of her new home.
The dead man was a common laborer, and a subsequent coroner's examination shows he was murdered elsewhere and transported to Chawton Cottage. Suddenly Jane and her family are thrust into the center of any brewing scandal in this provincial village it doesn't take kindly to outsiders in general—also to Austens specifically.
And equally Jane glimpses a link between the murder and the shattering truth concealed somewhere in Lord Harold's papers, violent death strikes just one more unsuspecting vicitim. Suddenly there are suspects and motives everywhere Jane looks—local burglaries, thwarted passions, would-be knights, and members of the royal family itself who want Lord Harold hushed . . . even in death. As the tale of 1 man's illustrious life unfolds—a life that runs a parallel course to the annals of two continents—Jane races against a chance to catch a cunning killer before more innocent lives are taken. But her determination to safeguard Lord Harold's legacy could exact the costliest price of all: her own life.
Jane and His Lordship's Legacy is historical suspense writing at its very finest, graced with insight, perception, and uncommon intelligence of its singular heroine in a mystery that will test the mettle of her mind and heart.
