Countdown to 2012: The Five Jane Austen Related Books I Most Enjoyed Reading in 2011. #5 Murder Most Persuasive by Tracy Kiely

First, Happy New Year to all my readers. Thank you so much for stopping by!

My fifth choice for favorite Jane Austen related book would have been Jane Austen's Letters, edited by Deirdre LeFaye, but the book came too late in the year for me to finish it. And so I gladly and swiftly turned to my next choice and one of my favorite JA mysteries of last year, Murder Most Persuasive by Tracy Kiely. Here is my review.

I can't wait to see what books await me in 2012. Have you any you wish to recommend to this blog's readers?

Murder Most Persuasive by Tracy Kiely: A Reader's Thoughts

Gentle Readers, in September reader Martha won a copy of Murder Most Persuasive by Tracy Kiely. When I sent her the book, I asked her to send me her thoughts after she finished it. Here is her reply:

Hi, Vic!
I enjoyed the book- I think your review was spot-on. It was a fun, interesting, easy read. I did put the book down when Elizabeth said she knew who had done it, and tried to solve it myself, but to no avail! I had actually decided that the ... was involved in Michael's death, having ... him on the ... or some such. I had also decided that ... most likely .... herself (just a little), to make sure she wouldn't be a suspect. You know, those that you least expect end up being the perpetrators and all. In any case, it was a good read! Thanks again!
Martha

Hah! Regarding the .... did you think I would reveal all that Martha wrote?
