The Austen Intrigue

'A rip-roaring, helter-skelter adventure careening breathlessly through Regency society… An uproarious delight ' Historical Novel Society

Up and coming novelist Jane Austen joins forces with London's most esteemed investigative duo – actress Dora Fitz-Pennington and Dr Jacob Sandys – to solve the brutal murder of a Russian count and his opera singer wife. The killer took his own life immediately after the crime – but who sent him and why?

Packed with political espionage, beautiful nods to Austen's most celebrated works, and bubbling with romantic tension between our hero and heroine, this will be the most rewarding Regency read of the season….
