Jane and the Canterbury Tale

(Bantam) In the 11th installment of the Jane Austen mystery series, the famous sleuth attends a wedding. Trouble starts when a mysterious man arrives at the party and leaves a bag of tamarind seeds, which renders the bride ghostly white. The stranger is found dead the next day and is identified as the bride’s first husband, long thought to be dead. Austen’s brother is the magistrate investigating the murder, but it’s up to Austen to figure out why the husband returned in the first place and who was responsible for the murder. Barron is also the author of other historical suspense novels and of the Nantucket mystery series.
