THE MURDER MYSTERY OF THE SEASON, INTRODUCING A NEW LITERARY SLEUTH – MISS JANE AUSTEN, PERFECT FOR FANS OF TOM HINDLE AND JANICE HALLETT

Lavish balls, fetching bonnets, and dead bodies . . . It's time for Jane Austen to put down her pen – and find a killer

'A note-perfect crime caper' Red

‘You must look beyond the obvious, interrogate all possibilities, to reach the truth’

Though young in years, Jane Austen has long had the sharp wit and shrewd insight to observe what others do not.

So when the body of a milliner is shockingly discovered during a lavish ball at Sir John Harcourt’s estate, she sees how blind polite society can be to the truth.

With the death pronounced a murder and Jane’s brother Georgy swiftly accused of the deed, the injustice of it strikes close to home.

Jane writes stories filled with secrets exposed, motives questioned, and manners deceiving. Now, she must turn her powers of observation to detection, to unmask the true murderer.

For if she fails, her beloved brother will face the ultimate punishment – the hangman’s noose . . .

Sophie Irwin, Author of A Lady's Guide To Fortune Hunting

"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."
