Jaine Austen Mysteries	comment	Jaine Austen (no, not that Jane) is just one of many women trying to eke out a living in Los Angeles. She works as a freelance writer-for-hire, offering her pen to anyone in need of a resume, personal ad, or even confessions of love. Sure, she may not have the dream job she wants, her cat Prozac may be a nuisance, and her own love life may be on the fritz, but at least she still has a life.That's more than can be said for the poor souls who wind up murdered: from a Thigh Master-beaten aerobics instructor to an actor taken out by a deadly donut to a Martha Stewart wannabe that gets electrocuted by her own hair dryer and many more, Jaine develops a side gig as an amateur slueth. Combined with her writerly knowledge, Jaine just might be able to solve these mysteries and get her life back on track.The Jaine Austen Mysteries is a cozy mystery series by Laura Levine.note (No relation to the multi-disciplinary visual artist of the same name.) The series debut in 2002 with new entries being published at least once per year.

Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_1086f287	type	Sure, Let's Go with That
Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_1086f287	comment	Sure, Let's Go with That: What effectively kicked off the murder in "The Dangers of Gingerbread Cookies". Clyde Wilkins spent his life as a pipe fitter, given the nickname "Doc" for being such a smooth operator with the ladies.note Well, the operator part is true enough, but Jaine argues he isn't smooth. When he first arrived at Tampa Vistas, he introduced himself to a woman with his nickname. With a nickname like "Doc", the woman assumed he used to be a doctor. Clyde was going to admit he wasn't but kept up the ruse when he got plenty of attention from the ladies. Then Preston came along and everything went to Hell.

Years ago, Alpha Bitch Mallory Francis forced Lorraine's husband, an assistant director named Pablo out into a hurricane in order to get her fresh mangos, and as a result, Pablo was injured and forced to use a wheelchair. After fifteen years, the poor man shot himself. It's hard to blame Cathy for choking the life out of Mallory... or at least it is right up until "Cathy" reveals that in order to throw suspicion off herself by not going in under the Sandoval name, she murdered her own cousin to steal her identity.

Bunny of Death of a Trophy Wife dies when her martini is spiked with weed killer. It's revealed that it wasn't meant for her martini to be poisoned, but rather Lance's. Barnaby's original plan to kill Scotty was to slip poison into his thermos of "coffee" (tequila), but when Prozac created havoc at the mall, stabbed him in the heart instead. Joy Amoroso of Killing Cupid is killed from chocolate injected with cyanide. It's meant to be poetic justice, as she had unintentionally poisoned Skip Holmeier's cat Miss Marple by feeding her chocolate. Dean Oliver from Murder Has Nine Lives is killed from eating diet cat food sprayed with a can of odorless Raid. Misty Baines from Death by Smoothie dies from a poisoned... well, smoothie.

Ethel Cox does this to her husband Willard in "The Dangers of Candy Canes". Conrad Devane, the killer of Killing Bridezilla, plants the bit of the drill used to sabotage the railing in Normalynne Butler's car after she made a drunken scene at the wedding ceremony.

Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_3437ee2c	comment	Inheritance Murder: What the murder of This Pen for Hire was about, albeit not direct money. Cameron was going to kill Marion to inherit a photo of her in a frame, which in reality, had a photo of Cary Grant underneath it. The murder became pointless because a) the wrong person died and b) Marion was already dead at the time. Also the case in Killer Blonde. SueEllen Kingsley was set to inherit $3 million from her Aunt Melanie. However, that money would go to her sister Carolee if SueEllen died first, so Carolee, AKA Conchi the maid, made that happen. Happens again in Killing Bridezilla. There, Conrad Devane was hoping that Patti's death before the wedding would have her money revert back to her mother, which he could then put back into his developments. Unbeknownst to him, Patti and Dickie had already married earlier in Vegas, so the money actually goes to Dickie...or at least, it would if there was any money left...

Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_3577923b	comment	Murder by Mistake: Cameron did this to Stacy in This Pen for Hire. He was trying to kill his friend Marion Hamilton to inherit a photograph that would sell for a pretty penny, bailing him out of his money troubles. He had been out of town for a month, so he didn't realize that Marion had already died and Stacy (who somewhat resembled Marion, and wa laying away from him in bed) had moved into her apartment. He's not horribly broken up about it, considering that he thought Stacy was a bitch. This is also revealed to be what happened with Bunny's death in Death of a Trophy Wife. Fiona was actually trying to kill Lance in order to save her job as Bunny's fashion consultant. However, Lupe the maid had accidentally spilled Bunny's cocktail, and poured Lance's drink into her glass to keep from incurring Bunny's wrath. In Death by Tiara, Amy Leighton died because she was wearing the same blue blazer as the pageant director Candace Burke, and looked like her from behind with her blonde hair.However, that's actually just the story Candace was hoping for, to throw suspicion off herself.

Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_415b3315	comment	Stylistic Suck: A lot of fictional work Jaine comes across is so clearly terrible. "Do Not Disturb"note Styled and even eventually published as "Do Not Distub" from Killer Cruise is a prime example. Jaine is forced to edit the manuscript of a crewman named Samoa to keep Prozac's being on the ship a secret. Long story there. Anyhoo, the thing is a woefully ridiculous tale of a steward who foils a terrorist plot while performing his steward duties. The tale has him disarming a nuclear device with a plunger, the protagonist is clearly based on him (his name is Samoa Huffington III) as a Gary Stu with a huge penis and ends with him riding off in the "Samoa mobile". For a kick in the ass, it becomes a New York Times bestseller and gets a movie adaptation starring Antonio Banderas (albeit with them describing it as absurdist literature).

In fact, the only murderer who hasn't tried to murder Jaine in the series is Wells Dumont from Last Writes.note Jaine does end up almost dying at the end of that book too, but that was an accident on his part after Jaine tries to stop him from committing suicide with the studio roller coaster. In The PMS Murder, Marybeth saw Pam Kenton stealing her winning lottery ticket. In Death of a Trophy Wife the killer lures Bunny's maid Lupe to a "job interview" to keep her quiet about their identity, after Lupe figured out who was really supposed to die that night, but couldn't report it due to her immigration status. When they have Lupe where they want her, they bash in her head with a tire iron and throw her in a dumpster. Thankfully, Lupe survives. In "The Dangers of Gingerbread Men" Dr. McCay was killed because he figured out that "Doc" Wilkins wasn't actually a doctor, retired or otherwise. Scotty from "Nightmare on Elf Street" was killed when he threatened to sic the cops on Barnaby over hid charity project being a scam. Death By Tiara's victim, Amy Leighton, was murdered by her boss Candace because she had discovered Candace taking bribes and wanted to report her.

Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_8ed5c6e4	comment	Asshole Victim: It's a murder mystery series. What else would you expect? Stacy Lawrence from This Pen for Hire was a manipulative Alpha Bitch. Quinn Kirkland, the heartbreaking jerk from Last Writes. Not only was he cheating on multiple women (one of which is likely underage), but a careless prank of putting a snake in a glovebox while working as a valet got Wells Dumont's wife killed, which inspired Wells to kill Quinn. SueEllen Kingsley from Killer Blonde. An abusive Rich Bitch who treated her stepdaughter like trash. Frenchie, AKA Giselle Ambrose from Shoes to Die For. A home-wrecker, a greedy bitch, and an extortionist. Marybeth Olsen from The PMS Murder. She screwed over her "friend" Colin by not making him a partner in her company, caused the accident that slowly killed Doris' husband, was sleeping with Rochelle's husband and actually had the gall to offer to give Ashley Morgan a loan at "1% less than a bank rate." Vic Cleveland from Death by Pantyhose, a comedian who steals jokes, cheats on his lovers left and right, and a blackmailer. There's just so much of the man to hate. Garth Janken, Amoral Attorney and blackmailer from "The Danger of Candy Canes". Patti Devane and Julio from Killing Bridezilla. The former for being a Spoiled Brat and Alpha Bitch, the latter for covering the killer's ass. Graham Palmer III from Killer Cruise a shallow Gold Digger who went through women like tissues. Bunny Cooper from Death of a Trophy Wife was a gold digging bitch who treated everyone around her horribly. Mallory Francis from Pampered to Death, a horrifically stuck-up and entitled bitch. Dr. Preston McCay from "The Dangers of Gingerbread Cookies". A womanizing and possibly racist jerk. Cryptessa Muldoon, AKA Eleanor Jenkins, from Death of a Neighborhood Witch was a miserable and bitter old crone who treated her neighbors like less than dirt. Scotty, the definitive Jerkass Mall Santa from "Nightmare on Elf Street". Joy Amoroso from Killing Cupid was a swindler and a control freak. Dean Oliver from Murder Has Nine Lives, a sleazy Con Man who stole his great invention of Skinny Kitty along with others from hapless inventors and was cheating on his wife with women left right and center. Hope Harper from Death of a Bachelorette, a conniving Alpha Bitch. Scotty Parker from Death of a Neighborhood Scrooge, a bitter, petty, and misanthropic has-been child actor, with a fist tighter than Ebenezer's. Tommy LaSalle from Death of a Gigolo, a blackmailing, gold digging, and abusive Slimeball. From the same book, Emma says the real Daisy Kincaid was "a sour old fossil" who treated her like dirt, but we only have her word to go on. Bebe Braddock from Murder Gets a Makeover, a cruel and backstabbing makeover guru. Misty Baines from Death by Smoothie, a vapid and airheaded man-stealer and blackmailer. Really, the only one of the victims to not be a prick in some way is Amy Leighton from Death by Tiara, whose only crime was wanting to report her boss Candace for taking bribes.

Marybeth had earlier caused the car accident that put Doris' husband in a wheelchair and slowly killed him. Once Doris found out who Marybeth was and ultimately determined that Marybeth wasn't the least bit sorry about the accident, Doris decided to drain Marybeth's brake fluid so she'd die in a crash. However, Doris kept backing out due to fear of being seen in the act, and the problem ultimately resolved itself when someone else killed Marybeth. This is what was in mind with the death of Joy Amoroso in Killing Cupid. She fed Skip Holmeier's cat chocolate, which poisoned her, so he killed Joy with a piece of chocolate laced with poison.

The wealthy Emily Pritchard fell in love with a man named Graham Palmer III, who worked as a steward on board the cruise ship she was on and was set to marry him. However, Emily's father offered the steward money to break up with her. The man averted this trope by taking the money without a second thought and dumping her without a word. In fact, the money meant so much more to Graham, that when he ended up meeting Emily again when the book's events happen, he didn't recognize her at all, and just saw her as a rich woman he could dig his claws into. But she remembered him and killed him for it.

Figuring the worst of the poisoning was over, Graham went to his audition, only to end up vomiting on an A-list director's shoes. Someone recording this on their phone uploaded it, the clip went viral, and Graham's acting career was dead in the water.

For Dickie, it fails... because Patti had frittered most of her money away in bad businesses. When Veronica finds this out, she drops Dickie like a hot stone. Also the case for Death by Smoothie: Corky MacLaine murdered Misty in order to stop her blackmailing him and keeping her from squealing about how his red hair is a wig, and he is actually bald.

She assumes this is because the car is an absolute clunker, but "Crazy Dave" reveals that someone unscrewed it to make that happen. Jaine realizes the killer did that.

The film would center around the great-great-great grandson of Tiny Tim hunting down the descendants of Ebenezer Scrooge, as the Heel–Face Turn from the story apparently didn't last long, as he went back to being a greedy bitch, started squeezing the Cratchits again, and cancelled Tim's foot surgery. It includes moments such as this grandson shooting up a bachelorette party with an Uzi, setting fire to the Lamborghini of a Bradford Scrooge, a decapitation, the grandson apparently using a bulldog in a bowling alley, and a scene of Scotty tying a noose and rambling about defending the Cratchit honor that goes on for five pages of the script.

One of these really screws over the killer in "The Dangers of Gingerbread Cookies". When Dr. Preston McCay asks Clyde "Doc" Wilkins if he's the famous cardiologist Clyde Wilkins, he says yes... except he actually isn't. He would have been more careful, but he had just been hit in the eye with a ping-pong ball and wasn't thinking straight.

Risk of a divorce from finding out about his sleeping with a prostitute that Vic was blackmailing him with gives him a good motive to kill the guy. However, he didn't, and just paid Vic off. He does, however, get found out and gets the boot from his wife, who then gets his club in the divorce. As it turns out in Killing Bridezilla, Dickie was planning on marrying Patti Devane for her money, then getting a divorce settlement and living with the money and the woman he really loved, Veronica. It doesn't pay off, since Patti lost most of her money investing in really bad business ideas. Graham Palmer III of Killer Cruise was clearly only marrying Emily Pritchard for her money. Wouldn't be the first time he dated her and got money out of it. It becomes obvious to Jaine that Ginny Knight is this towards Preston McCay, given how he's so much older than her and is a pretty shitty guy. Ginny is definitely after his money, but it's less because she wants to be married to a rich retired plastic surgeon, and more that she wants to rob Preston blind as a way of getting payback for him botching an eye lift he performed on her mother, which drove the poor woman to suicide. It's revealed in Death of a Bachelorette that Spencer was planning to marry Dallas for her father's money, then get a divorce and live out the rest of his days with Polly Reilly. Hope was a Spanner in the Works for that by blackmailing him, so she had to go.

Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_f70710ae	type	Blackmail Backfire
Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_f70710ae	comment	Blackmail Backfire: Said blackmail tends to be why some victims wind up on the other side of the ground. In Death by Pantyhose, Vic Cleveland blackmailed Reagan Dixon over her past as a porn actress, both to force her to get him a valuable network deal and to marry him. Out of all the people Vic was blackmailing, this was the one he shouldn't have, as she saw him dead. In Pampered to Death, Jaine tries to blackmail Delphine into not revealing Prozac nearly ate one of The Haven's koi fish by threatening to blow the whistle on her snack peddling. Delphine just shoots back that Olga wouldn't fire her because Delphine knows Olga is the one who killed Mallory... except, as it turns out, she isn't. In Death of a Bachelorette, the victim, Hope Harper, tried blackmailing Spencer into marrying her by threatening to release photos of him in his dog collar fetish. Hoo boy, did that backfire... In Death of a Gigolo Tommy realized that "Daisy Kincaid" is actually his aunt Emma Shimmel, who murdered the real Daisy and took her place. To keep his mouth shut, he made her buy him whatever his black little heart desired, which was to end with him marrying her, getting loaded in a divorce settlement, and likely keep his blackmail train running. Daisy got another idea, if you get the drift... Misty Baines stumbled upon Corky MacLaine putting on his wig, and decided to squeeze money out of him over it. Big mistake.

Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_f96f188c	comment	Drives Like Crazy: Kandi Toblowski, Jaine's best friend, is a very crazy driver. In The PMS Murder, the victim, Marybeth Olsen, drives her car like a madwoman. Jaine figures she's going to get someone hurt like that. In fact, Marybeth has done so before... to Doris' husband Glenn.

Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_faa71569	comment	Romantic False Lead: Scott Willis, one of the detectives from Killing Cupid, ends up asking out Jaine at the end of that book. Their relationship doesn't make it out of the end of Death by Tiara.

Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_fb6b207f	type	You Killed My Father
Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_fb6b207f	comment	You Killed My Father: Or rather "my wife", in the case of Wells Dumont in Last Writes. Doris believes this of Marybeth, who crashed into her husband Glenn and crippled him, slowly killing the man before the events of The PMS Murder. Daphna Devane says this to the book's killer, Conrad, in Killing Bridezilla. In that case, it's more "You killed my daughter." A variant on this in "The Dangers of Gingerbread Cookies". Dr. McCay performed an eye lift on a Pam Knight years prior. Unfortunately, he badly botched the operation and got off scot free. This drove the poor woman to hang herself. Years later, her daughter Ginny (who had found the body, by the way) found out the guy was moving to Florida and became his fiancé. She planned to take all of his money and ditch him at the altar, but not kill him. That plan doesn't work out due to the murder freezing Preston's assets, but thanks to her inheritance being much more valuable than it first appears, she does get something out of it. Cathy/Lorraine Sandoval believes this of Mallory Francis in Pampered to Death, as the latter sent the former's husband, an assistant director on one of her movies on a run to get fresh mangoes during a hurricane. The guy crashed his car, spent 15 years in a wheelchair, and eventually killed himself. Another variant in Killing Cupid, where it's a case of "you killed my cat". Played straighter in Death of a Neighborhood Scrooge, where it's revealed that Dave Kellogg (AKA David Chambers) came into Scotty's house to get back at him for indirectly killing his father by causing stress on his bad heart when they worked together on a remake of A Christmas Carol.

Jaine Austen Mysteries / int_fd497706	comment	Accidental Murder: In Last Writes, Quinn Kirkland accidentally killed Jessica Dumont by putting a snake in her glovebox, giving her a heart attack. In Killing Cupid it's shown that Joy Amoroso accidentally killed Skip Holmeier's cat Miss Marple by feeding her chocolate, which is what drove Skip to kill her.
