Critics Review
Jane Austen reimagined as an amateur detective? Pure delight! In this fun, clever mystery, the author is on the hunt for a serial killer in the spa town of Bath, just as the season kicks of * Good Housekeeping *
Pride, Prejudice and Peril is as light, bright and sparkling a novel as you could possibly hope for – with a perfectly plotted mystery at its heart. The historical detail is exquisite, the voice is pitch perfect, and 1799 Bath is brought to life with the kind of wit and wisdom Austen herself would have adored. I just love this series, and Jessica Bull keeps getting better and better – Alex Hay
Jessica Bull’s writing sparkles in this charming, murder-y homage to Miss Austen. I was sad to reach the last page – Kelly Mullen
What an absolute joy it is to join Miss Austen on a new investigation! Pride, Prejudice and Peril is full of family drama, society scandal and murder most foul, against the beautiful backdrop of Georgian Bath. Jessica Bull perfectly captures the deep sisterly bond between Jane and Cassandra and skilfully weaves together the Austen family history with a mystery worthy of Agatha Christie. A must-read for Jane Austen fans! – Lucy Andrew * author of A Very Vexing Murder *
Pride, Prejudice and Peril is fun, pacy and entirely charming. I sped through it, loving every page. Another fantastic instalment in one of my very favourite series – Katie Lumsden
As intricately woven as a ribbon of lace, Pride, Prejudice and Peril kept me entangled in its fiendish mystery until the very last thread unraveled – Jill Johnson
Jane uncovers dark secrets in Regency Bath in this enthralling new instalment of the Miss Austen Investigates series – Helena Kelly
Praise for Jessica Bull – :
Fantastic – Sara Cox * BBC Radio 2 Book Club *
I adored it…fresh, fiendish and funny. Much like Jane herself – Jennie Godfrey
