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. The series also includes Sense, Sensibility and Scandal (previously published as A Fortune Most Fatal) and The Austen Christmas Murders. Pride, Prejudice and Peril is the latest instalment.
