2.5 stars rounded up to 3.

This was a disappointing read. The amount of historical errors in this book was a surprise and it was enough to put me off. The plot was all over the place. It went from balls and husband-seeking to a crime novel.

This story would have been better if Worsley didn't use the Austen family for her characters. However, I will admit that Jane Austen, or Aunt Jane, was a brilliantly written character.
