Jane Austen returns to solve an intriguing new mystery, in the latest instalment of the MISS AUSTEN INVESTIGATES series

Jane Austen is preparing for the summer season.

As guests of their wealthy relatives Mr and Mrs Leigh-Perrot, Jane and her sister Cassandra will be holidaying in Bath Spa – the world-famous health resort, and more importantly, the epicentre of the marriage mart.

For many, the summer will be spent hunting husbands. But for Jane, when a series of murders take place across the city, she must chase down a killer instead.

With her beloved sister by her side, Jane is determined to bring the murderer to justice. Can she stop this villain from taking any more victims, before the summer ends? Or will her only dance of the season be with death…

About the author

Jessica Bull

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 eighteen territories and counting. The series also includes Sense, Sensibility and Scandal (previously published as A Fortune Most Fatal) and The Austen Christmas Murders. Pride, Prejudice and Peril is the latest instalment.

Praise for Pride, Prejudice and Peril

Praise for Jessica Bull

Jessica Bull combinees genteel Georgian country living with the lively intrigue of a whodunnit to create a very satisfying read

Sunday Express

I adored it...fresh, fiendish and funny. Much like Jane herself

Jennie Godfrey

A note-perfect crime caper that has much of the wit and empathy of an Austen novel

Red

I adored this so much. Jane brims with life and wit, the story is packed with delicious details to delight every Austen fan, and the puzzle is constructed as neatly as Emma

Alex Hay

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

Fantastic

Jane uncovers dark secrets in Regency Bath in this enthralling new instalment of the Miss Austen Investigates series

Helena Kelly

Pride, Prejudice and Peril is fun, pacy and entirely charming. I sped through it, loving every page. Another fantastic instalment in one of my very favourite series

Katie Lumsden

As intricately woven as a ribbon of lace, Pride, Prejudice and Peril kept me entangled in its fiendish mystery until the very last thread unraveled

Jill Johnson

Jessica Bull's writing sparkles in this charming, murder-y homage to Miss Austen. I was sad to reach the last page

Kelly Mullen

What an absolute joy it is to join Miss Austen on a new investigation! Pride, Prejudice and Peril is full of family drama, society scandal and murder most foul, against the beautiful backdrop of Georgian Bath. Jessica Bull perfectly captures the deep sisterly bond between Jane and Cassandra and skilfully weaves together the Austen family history with a mystery worthy of Agatha Christie. A must-read for Jane Austen fans!
