Jane and the Waterloo Map (Being a Jane Austen Mystery)

Jane Austen turns sleuth in this delightful Regency-era mystery
Â
November, 1815. The Battle of Waterloo has come and gone, leaving the British economy in shreds; Henry Austen, high-flying banker, is about to declare bankruptcyâ€”dragging several of his brothers down with him. The crisis destroys Henryâ€™s health, and Jane flies to his London bedside, believing him to be dying. While sheâ€™s there, the chaplain to His Royal Highness the Prince Regent invites Jane to tour Carlton House, the Princeâ€™s fabulous London home. The chaplain is a fan of Janeâ€™s books, and during the tour he suggests she dedicate her next novelâ€”Emmaâ€”to HRH, whom she despises.

However, before she can speak to HRH, Jane stumbles upon a bodyâ€”sprawled on the carpet in the Regentâ€™s library. The dying man, Colonel MacFarland, was a cavalry hero and a friend of Wellingtonâ€™s. He utters a single failing phrase: â€œWaterloo mapâ€ . . . and Jane is on the hunt for a treasure of incalculable value and a killer of considerable cunning.
