Jane Austen Investigates: The Burglar's Ball

By Julia Golding

'My dearest brother Henry, Cassandra and I upheld the honour of the Austen name at the ball, dancing until our slippers wore out. But little did I expect the day to end with the theft of diamonds from a girl's chamber '

1789. A young Jane Austen turns detective as she seeks to solve the mysterious happenings at her old boarding school. Invited to the end-of-term prom, the two Austen sisters are plunged into the feverish preparations, but why all the fuss? When a diamond necklace is stolen, there is a race to uncover the burglar and save a former slave from gaol. With the ever-present Austen spirit, Jane, with notebook in hand, boldly overcomes the obstacles to exposing the secrets and finding out the truth.
