Fun Book #5 The Missing Manuscript of Jane Austen by Syrie James

Thanks to my friend Annalea and her publishing internship in LA a few years back I was introduced to Syrie James with her first novel The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen.  I remember enjoying that one and as soon as Daniel saw this new one he knew it would be a winner.  So on Valentine's Day- I got this new one.

A missing novel never published, scavenger hunt in a big English estate to find it with a handsome stranger= a great book.  Right away I knew this book was going to be a really fun read.  First Samantha finds a the letter hinting that their is a missing manuscript, and her being a Jane Austen scholar she has to find the truth.  The search begins and when they find the manuscript they read it, so we get to read it too.  It's a story within a story.  I really enjoyed the missing "manuscript" story. When the novel would go back to present day, it was good too.

This is definitely a book I would recommend to any other Jane Austen enthusiast.  It gets an A 95%
