Celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth by joining us for an evening with Jessica Bull, author of the devilish mystery, Miss Austen Investigates, as she launches the second in her Regency inspired series, A Fortune Most Fatal.
Jessica Bull worked 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, reimagines the author as an intrepid amateur sleuth.
About A Fortune Most Fatal
A family in possession of a good fortune must beware…
Kent, 1797, where Jane Austen is to spend the summer with her estranged brother, Neddy. As heir to wealthy widow Mrs Knight’s fortune, it is imperative that Neddy stays in his benefactor’s good books. But Jane realises Neddy is in need of her help, for a mysterious young woman threatens to swindle the inheritance for herself. Jane must uncover who this imposter is, to protect the fortunes – and fate – of her family. But when her investigation takes a dark and dangerous turn, can she solve the mystery – and save herself?
