The nation's favourite amateur sleuth is back! Jane Austen returns to solve another devilish mystery in the compelling follow-up to Miss Austen Investigates.

Welcome to Kent, 1797.

Jane Austen is set 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 graces.

But upon arrival at Godmersham Park, Jane realises Neddy is in dire need of her help. For a mysterious young woman currently resides with Mrs Knightβ€”a stranger who threatens to swindle the inheritance for herself.

Jane must uncover who this imposter is to protect the fortunesβ€”and fateβ€”of her entire family. But when her investigation takes a dark and dangerous turn, can she solve the mysteryβ€”and save herself?

About the Author

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.
