Summary

  "It’s rare to encounter a book that brings fresh delight with most every page, but such is the case with A FORTUNE MOST FATAL. The reader is immersed in the world of Jane Austen, and what a fascinating world it is. Crisply written, sharply observant, and with a self-deprecating wit, Jessica Bull delivers a twisty and intriguing mystery that is delightfully Austenesque."

Vanessa Kelly, Author of The Emma Knightley Mysteries 

 "A delightful return to the world of Jane Austen’s sleuthing! Jessica Bull delicately balances the details of Jane’s life alongside a richly developed set of mysteries. Rendered in Jane’s signature wit and equal parts light and dark, I enjoyed every moment I got to spend with Jane in this brilliant follow-up."

Kristen Perrin, Author of How To Solve Your Own Murder

"A delight from the very first page – fun, clever and gritty, with fantastic characterisation and a wonderful look into the darkness hidden beneath the glimmering facade of Regency society. Jessica Bull brings Jane Austen and those around her to life in a wonderful way, doing such justice to the glimpses we get from Jane’s letters. Her Jane is my Jane."

Katie Lumsden, Author of The Trouble With Mrs Montgomery Hurst

  "Charming from first page to last, this mystery captivates with dashing characters and arch wit. Miss Austen would most heartily approve." 

Orlando Murrin, Author of Knife Skills For Beginners

 "Well Jessica Bull has only gone & done it again (arguably even better!). A Fortune Most Fatal is the second outing of Miss Austen Investigates & it is BRILLIANT. So sharply observed, yet fresh, funny and a joy to read."

Jennie Godfrey, Author of The List Of Suspicious Things

"This wonderful book feels almost like an immersive experience. Witty, clever and with exquisite detail. Miss Austen is a terrific sleuth."

Ian Moore, Author of The Follet Valley & Juge Lombard Mysteries
