Secrets in the Snow

“MacColl’s fidelity to Austen’s biography and family, with a bit of creative license woven in, results in a charming historical mystery.” —School Library Journal   Jane Austen’s family is eager to secure her future by marrying her off. But Jane is much more interested in writing her novels, and finds every suitor lacking—until the mysterious Mr. Lefroy arrives. Could he be the one? Before Jane can find out, she must solve a murder, clear her family’s name, and face a decision that might cost her true love.  Praise for writing of Michaela MacColl   “Equal parts gothic melodrama and Nancy Drew derring-do.” —Kirkus Reviews   “Dynamic and engrossing.” —Booklist   “The fast-moving plot makes this a well-crafted page-turner.” —School Library Journal (starred review)   “MacColl takes a character that most people do not really know much about and brings her to life . . .
