Because of Jane

Welcome to the quaint English village of Marshfield, with its pristine cottages, bountiful flower gardens and tranquil society. Nothing exciting ever happens in Marshfield, until Miss Beatrice Fawcett arrives. At first, the villagers believe Beatrice is simply a poor spinster who must live on the charity of her brother, but their opinion quickly changes when Beatrice’s arrival brings unexpected and marvelous changes. Before long, the village is immersed in a delicious scandal, the ghost of a former resident returns, and the village’s most wanted criminal finds a sympathetic supporter.
