Catching up with last weekends reading and knowing that there are no more shardlake books, the stories of Giordano Bruno set in Elizabethan England are an enjoyable alternative. The 3rd finds our Italian ex monk going to Canterbury to save the life of Sophia, who has been accused of murdering her husband while his spy master Walsingham wants him to look into a plot to use the bones of Becket to start a Catholic plot. Good fun, historical crime.

TiredLibrarian I loved the Shardlake books, so this sounds good! Is it best to read them in order, or can I start with this one? 7d

andrew61 @TiredLibrarian I think it's worth starting in order. Not absolutely necessary but you get to know recurring characters and themes. 6d

TiredLibrarian @andrew61 Thanks; I'll look up the first one! 6d

This one took me a long time to get into. I liked how Fanny was a bit of a sidekick in this one but I miss Lord Harold. But Barron does an excellent job writing Jane and her wit, it's what keeps me coming back.

#Pembeelittens It's time for #JaneAndTheExcellentReadalong discussion of Jane and the Canterbury Tale! This Jane Austen Mysteries Book Club is read at your own pace and FULL OF SPOILERS. We're counting down to the Release of Jane and the Final Mystery. If you haven't read the book, pop in anytime. Or tag me in your post to make sure I see your answers.

Mine are in the comments.

Crinoline_Laphroaig 1️⃣ Card game showing just how awful Curzon Fiske was and the reveal/confrontation with Murderer.
2️⃣ I really loved the relationship between Edward and Jane in this one. It's grown since we were last at Godmersham in Jane and the Genius of the Place.
3️⃣ Loved all the references to Pride and Prejudice.
⬇️ 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig And: "It was a wonder all three did not collide upon the path over the Downs in the dead of night, coming or going."

"Can‘t go shooting one‘s guests whenever they put a foot wrong, what? Very bad ton."

“Must you always complicate matters, Jane, with questions that are entirely unanswerable?”

⬇️ 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ Mr Moore would probably bore me so much I'd struggle to stay awake. Which would be considered rude (heaven forfend)so I'd say Mrs Thane. No way you'd fall asleep with her screeching.⬇️ 2y

See All 10 Comments

Crinoline_Laphroaig 5️⃣ Walk the Pilgrims Way. With 2 weeks that's 14km/8.5 miles a day. I think I could do that. But no camping! Would book a comfy room for each night. And stop in Chawton to visit Jane Austens House, The Big House and finish at Cassandra's Cup for tea.

2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig 6️⃣ I googled the difference between tilbury and perch phaeton.

And while I knew what a young lady being out meant didn't know A gentleman being out "is one who has met a rival at twenty paces on a duelling ground,"
2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣ While looking for background info at Stephanie Barron and Austenprose blogs I found out this was almost the last Jane Austen Mystery! Original publisher did want to continue but happily 3 years later the 12th Jane Austen Mystery was published
2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig Speaking of #JaneandtheTwelveDaysofChristmas it's a favorite of mine. I usually read over the 12 days of Christmas. I'm planning something a bit different for July. Will post that next week.

Crinoline_Laphroaig Needle Witted. Such a great phrase! I just finished reading. It's my Birthday on Monday. Celebrating all weekend. I'll be doing my answers next week. I really liked relationship with Edward in this one. 2y

Good morning! Beautiful day- in low 60‘s, blue skies, bird chorus, gentle breeze.
This particular Jane Austen feels like it is taking a long time… but I feel I am getting to know her niece & brother Edward. #BeingAJaneAustenMystery

Jane and the Canterbury Tale: Being a Jane Austen Mystery | Stephanie Barron

During Covid, we chose some of these tales for students(seniors) to work with. Short videos from the internet increased their understanding.
Reading this has brought those memories back, of teaching as best we could on-line.
