Where O Where Are You Tonight?

Lady Jayne has disappeared and no one knows what has happened to her.  Was she murdered, did she emigrate to another country, was she kidnapped? Only Nathaniel Droll knows for sure because he is writing her story in serial format.  But, another question is who is Nathaniel Droll?

Lady Jayne Disappears is a book that kept me confused, but kept enough humor in the confusion to keep me reading.  Aurelie Harcourt's father died in Shepton Mallet, the local debtors prison.  Her only relative is her father's sister, Aurora, and she has a reputation for not being a welcoming soul.   Her father's niece and her family live with Aurora, and they create just enough chaos for Aurora.

Aurelie's father is using Nathaniel Droll as his nom de plume while he writes Lady Jayne's story.  After his death, Aurelie picks up the story and carries it on, adding to the mystery of who Nathaniel Droll really is. 

Joanna Davidson Politano has written a real "screen swiper" of a book with intriguing characters and interesting settings.  Imagining the places is not a difficult because of the fitting descriptions Joanna provides.  The action in the story moves fast enough to keep the reader interested all the way through. This is a five star book with two thumbs up and a new chapter to your favorite book.
