There is, of course, a romance for Aurelie involved (it's actually introduced in the prologue and isn't resolved until the very end), but the romance is definitely secondary to the mystery. Twists abound in the story, and I found myself surprised by nearly every one-yet, importantly, all the twists made sense. As she strives to keep her identity as the writer Nathaniel Droll secret, she also must uncover the truth of what happened to Lady Jayne-her mother-and finish the Lady Jayne story her father was writing when he died. When Aurelie's father dies, she is taken in by her aunt and introduced to the family as a distant relation. because I loved it so much! It's a deeply compelling mystery with touches of romance and suspense, and I found myself completely wrapped up in it. I'm at a bit of a loss at what to say about Lady Jayne Disappears . To complete the novel, she'll have to extract clues from relatives-and one enigmatic houseguest-who often seem reluctant to give them up. The story she always wanted to hear, about her mother's mysterious disappearance from the home where she now lives.



As Aurelie struggles to find a home with her father's family and learn the rules of society, she relishes in his parting gift-the beginning of his last story.
