Jane and the Wandering Eye is the third in Stephanie Barron's series featuring Jane Austen as the protagonist. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Titles in this series seem to go on sale rarely and briefly, but over time I've picked up a good chunk of the series, which I remember enjoying (the first few titles) in DTB a looooong time ago.

Adding to the mystery is an unusual object found on the victim's body—a pendant that contains a portrait of an eye! As Jane's fascination with scandal leads her deeper into the investigation, it becomes clear that she will not uncover the truth without some dangerous playacting of her own....
