About the Jane Carter Mysteries
This historical cozy mystery serial, adapted from the Penny Parker mysteries by Mildred Wirt Benson (now in the public domain), is set in the fictional American city of Greenville during the 1920s and features Jane Carter, a young widow who returns home to live with her father after the tragic death of her journalist husband.
Jane’s father owns a local newspaper and wants Jane to take it over someday, but Jane is adamant that she has no desire to be a reporter. Instead, she turns her talent for writing to concocting melodramatic romances for fly-by-night rags who almost never pay on time.
Jane claims that she's holding out for a millionaire before she marries again, but the only man who makes her heart beat faster is Jack, a reporter on her father's staff. Not only has Jane vowed she will never become a newspaperman herself, but she's also doubly insistent on never again marrying one. While trying to turn out enough column inches of overwrought romantic bilge to keep her old car on the road, and herself in shoes, Jane runs into the most extraordinary circumstances.

when will there be more episode's? kinda stopped in the middle....
ReplyDeleteYes, there will be more! (But not for a little while) This serial started out as a series of adaptations of novels, and I paused the serial here because the mystery thread has been resolved, but I can see that the romance thread does rather leave one hanging. There are three (short) novel's worth of story remaining to be posted.
DeleteNote to everyone:
As matter of curiosity, how many people have read all the way through to Episode One-Hundred and Thirty-Eight?
I'm considering abandoning the episode concept and just posting the remaining story in very long chunks (as they were in novel form).
Please leave me a comment if you're one of the readers who has read most of the episodes and let me know if novel form would be easier to navigate.
WOULD LOVE THE LONGER, MORE NOVEL LENGTH, BUT, EITHER IS OK - AM ENJOYING
