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.
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 *
