The Eyre Affair (Jasper Fforde)

Summary: Meet Thursday Next, a literary detective without equal, fear, or boyfriend--and welcome to a surreal version of Great Britain, circa 1985, where time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos are the respected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously.  England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wadsworth poem, militant Baconians heckle performances of Hamlet, and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense.  All this is business as usual for Thursday, renowned Special Operative in literary detection, until someone begins kidnapping characers from works of literature.

When Jane Eyre is plucked from the pages of Brontë's novel, Thursday must track down the villain and enter a novel herself to avert a heinous act of literary homicide.  (from amazon.com)
