<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Emily travels to the sleepy coastal village of Stony Beach, Oregon, to claim her inheritance, centered in a beautiful Victorian estate called Windy Corner but also including a substantial portion of the real estate of the whole town. As she gets to know the town's eccentric inhabitants--including her own once-and-possibly-future love, Sheriff Luke Richards--she learns of a covert plan to develop Stony Beach into a major resort. She also hears hints that her aunt may have been murdered. Soon another suspicious death confirms this, and before long Emily herself experiences a near-fatal accident"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When Emily Cavanaugh inherits a fortune from her great aunt, she expects her life to change. She doesn't expect to embark on a murder investigation, confront the man who broke her heart 35 years before, and nearly lose her own life.</p><p>Emily travels to the sleepy coastal village of Stony Beach, Oregon, to claim her inheritance, centered in a beautiful Victorian estate called Windy Corner but also including a substantial portion of the real estate of the whole town. As she gets to know the town's eccentric inhabitants--including her own once-and-possibly-future love, Sheriff Luke Richards--she learns of a covert plan to develop Stony Beach into a major resort. She also hears hints that her aunt may have been murdered. Soon another suspicious death confirms this, and before long Emily herself experiences a near-fatal accident. </p><p>Meanwhile, Emily reads <i>Persuasion</i>, hoping to find belated happiness with her first love as Anne Elliot did with Captain Wentworth. She notices a similarity between her not-quite-cousin Brock Runcible, heir to a smaller portion of her aunt's property, and Mr. Elliot in <i>Persuasion</i>, and her suspicions of Brock crystallize. But as she and Luke continue to investigate and events speed toward a climax, Emily realizes that underneath the innocent-looking rocks of Stony Beach lurk festering jealousies that would have shocked even the worst of Jane Austen's charming reprobates.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Puzzler fans and literary junkies alike will enjoy the fun as passages from Jane Austen's novels bolster and embellish Emily's investigations."--Bookpage</p><p> "Hyde makes her adult fiction debut with an intelligent traditional mystery that stars an endearing woman of a certain age who draws on her knowledge of literature to solve crimes."--Library Journal</p><p>"A cleverly-constructed village mystery, filled with hidden treats for Jane Austen fans and mystery--lovers alike--a promising and delightful series debut!" --John Clement, author of the Dixie Hemingway series</p><p><i>"Arsenic with Austen</i> is an intelligent mystery, with surprising plot twists and a dash of good old-fashioned romance.
