Lavish balls, fetching bonnets, and dead bodies...

It's time for Jane Austen to put down her pen - and find a killer

Jane Austen is just starting out in society.

The perils of being a woman in this environment fill the pages of her writing. Yet little does she know just how dangerous things truly are...

When the body of a milliner is discovered during a ball, the murder causes uproar.

For Jane, however, it becomes personal when her beloved brother Georgy is accused of the murder. To clear his name, she must find the real killer.

Her writing is full of tales of questioning motives, and unmasking secrets.

Might her powers of observation help her solve this mystery, and save her brother from the hangman's noose?

Jessica Bull grew up in South East London, where she still lives with her husband, two daughters, and far too many pets. She's addicted to stories and studied English Literature at Bristol University, and Information Science at City University, London. She began work as a librarian (under the false impression she could sit and read all day), before becoming a communications consultant. Her debut novel, Miss Austen Investigates, has sold in fifteen territories and counting. A Fortune Most Fatal is the highly-anticipated second book in the series.

Reviews for Miss Austen Investigates (#1 Miss Austen Investigates)

Jessica Bull combines genteel Georgian country living with the lively intrigue of a whodunnit to create a very satisfying read * Sunday Express * I adored it. Miss Austen Investigates is fresh, fiendish and funny. Much like Jane herself -- Jennie Godfrey Richly imagined and wonderfully plotted - a great read -- S.J. Bennett Sharp and energetic whilst simultaneously warm and heartfelt. This is a delicious treat for fans of Austen's novels and delightfully compelling mysteries -- B P Walter A brilliant debut * Woman & Home * This super-fun read is a total breath of fresh air! * Fabulous, Sun * A note-perfect crime caper that has much of the wit and empathy of an Austen novel * Red * Exceptional - the Austen whodunnit I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for! The historical detail was rich and impeccable with gorgeously drawn characters, all the twists and turns you want from a murder mystery and an incredibly striking Austen voice. I loved it! -- Sophie Irwin Sparkling...A brilliant debut that does Jane justice * Woman's Weekly * So clever and well done * Good Housekeeping *
