​Jane Austen is just starting out in society.

The perils of being a woman in this environment fill the pages of her writing. Yet little does she know just how dangerous things truly are…

When the body of a milliner is discovered during a ball, the murder causes uproar.

For Jane, however, it becomes personal when her beloved brother Georgy is accused of the murder.
To clear his name, she must find the real killer.

Her writing is full of tales of questioning motives, and unmasking secrets.

Might her powers of observation help her solve this mystery, and save her brother from the hangman’s noose?
