Reviews
BRILLIANT. So sharply observed, yet fresh, funny and a joy to read -- Jennie Godfrey This wonderful book feels almost like an immersive experience. Witty, clever and with exquisite detail. Miss Austen is a terrific sleuth -- Ian Moore What a virtuoso blend of historical detail, colourful characters and plot. Charming from the first page to the last, this mystery captivates with dashing characters and arch wit. Miss Austen would most heartily approve! -- Orlando Murrin * author of Knife Skills for Beginners * 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 Fortune Most Fatal is the perfect treat for anyone who has ever wanted to don a Regency gown and step inside the pages of a Jane Austen novel...Jessica Bull spins the most perfect mystery, laying down clues with a masterful sleight of hand, then revealing them to the reader one by one, making for a hugely satisfying and deeply moving read. I could not have loved it more! -- Ciar Byrne * author of A Deadly Discovery * Praise for Jessica Bull -- : Sparkling...Woven through with fascinating insights into our heroine's real life and loves, this is a brilliant debut that does Jane justice * Woman's Weekly * Jessica Bull combines genteel Georgian country living with the lively intrigue of a whodunnit to create a very satisfying read * Sunday Express * Sharp and energetic whilst simultaneously warm and heartfelt. This is a delicious treat for fans of Austen's novels and delightfully compelling mysteries -- BP Walter Richly imagined and wonderfully plotted - a great read -- S.J. Bennett
Author Information
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. A Fortune Most Fatal is the highly-anticipated second book in the series.
