Critics Review

A Crime Through Time is an irresistible mix of laugh-aloud humour, gripping mystery and endearing love story. With Georgiana Darcy investigating the crime, this is sleuthing at its most charming – Saskia Sarginson, author of One Dark SummerPemberley, murder, hilarity and a romance to span the ages, A Crime Through Time was an absolute joy! This is the perfect book to unwind with. Kick back and enjoy the peek into the world of Georgiana Darcy as you’ve never seen her before. I loved it – Rachel Wolf, author of Five NightsI loved this twisty, diverting romp which gave the freshest perspective on much loved, well known characters. Clear your diary to finish it in one go – Rebecca Reid, author of The WillI loved A Crime Through Time from the concept right through to the pitch perfect execution. It really is the perfect escapist read. The romantic chemistry is gorgeous, and I also especially enjoyed seeing other characters from Pride and Prejudice through a different lens, especially Anne. – Katy Moran, author of the Regency Romance TrilogyThe concept is wonderfully original, and the voice is beautifully Austen-esque without ever feeling contrived. I loved seeing familiar characters in a new light, and the blending of the two timelines is so cleverly done. I adored Georgiana, too! Although this story is, at its heart, a twisty cosy crime read, it has a strong romance element too … I can’t wait to read the next book in the series! – Emma Pass, author of Before The DawnCosy fun * Crime Monthly  *This happy collision of crime, time travel and Jane Austen delivers an intriguing murder mystery while allowing readers a fresh and fun perspective on their favourite Pride and Prejudice characters and an entertaining speculation on what life might have looked like for the iconic cast in the months after events in the book. Blackwell’s depth of research, her allusions to the great author’s life and works, and her joyful love all things Austen, shine through in this time-travelling odyssey which heralds the start of another winning cosy crime series … this time with a delicious Regency flavour * Lancashire Post *Cosy, quirky crime * Platinum *Romance, humour and a crime riddle make it irresistible * Peterborough Telegraph  *

About The Author

Amelia Blackwell

Amelia Blackwell has a master’s degree in Creative Writing, a corn snake called Colin, and a deep love of the works of Jane Austen. Although the Boleyns appear in her family tree, it’s through marriage, not blood, which is probably just as well. Georgiana Darcy’s most persistent suitor, Baron John de Halighwell, takes his name from one of Amelia’s distant great-grandfathers, who lived in a mansion that even Lady Catherine de Bourgh would admire. Amelia lives with her husband and children in a tiny house by the sea in Cornwall.
