Title: Jane and the maid: good, but still room for improvement.
Review: A 2008 summer reading list mini review.When I began reading Stephanie Barron's fifth installment in her Jane Austen series, I was very much impressed. The satiric glimpse at her cousin's foibles was almost equal to Austen herself. I also liked how each chapter was offset by excerpts from the victim's book. The excellent characterizations of the early chapters really brought the tale to life for me.As I continued and then completed the book my initial rapture waned. While character was king, pacing was poor. The book plodded along unhappily to conclusions that seemed obvious midway through the book. I found Jane and the stillroom maid to be superior to its immediate predecessors but no where near the quality of the initial entries.
