 | Jane and the Genius of the Place: Being the Fourth Jane Austen Mystery (Being A Jane Austen Mystery) by Stephanie Barron
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 I enjoyed reading this series of books, but only list one here. I found each new novel in the series better than the previous, with my personal favorite bring the fourth, Jane and the Genius of the Place. These books were excellent for understanding Jane's complex family realtionships and knowing some of what really happened during the years when Jane Austen was not writing fiction.

 | Jane Austen in Scarsdale: Or Love, Death, and the SATs by Paula Marantz Cohen
Buy used from: $2.90 Wonderful book. The satire directed against today's culture of SAT Prep and getting into the right college is as sharp as any of Austen's fans could ever want.

 | Pride and Prescience: Or, A Truth Universally Acknowledged by Carrie Bebris
Buy new: $9.32 / Used from: $0.97 The three books published so far in this series are notable for their titles. The books themselves didn't live up to what I anticipated. There was too much of the supernatural in each mystery, and I felt the author did not live up to the potential of the characters from the books, for example, Elinor Ferrars after 15 years and Henry Tilney. We don't even get a glimpse of Catherine Morland Tilney.
