Publisher's Synopsis

*PRE-ORDER NOW! JANE AUSTEN RETURNS TO SOLVE A BRAND NEW MYSTERY, PERFECT FOR FANS OF RICHARD OSMAN AND BRIDGERTON*

'Exceptional - the Austen whodunnit I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for! I loved it' SOPHIE IRWIN

"Who are you, Miss Austen, but a young lady of little experience and no consequence?"

Welcome to Kent, 1797. Following many years apart, 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. The financial security of Jane's entire family depend on him.

But upon arrival at Godmersham Park, Jane quickly realises Neddy is in dire need of her help. For a mysterious young woman currently resides with Mrs Knight - a stranger who 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?
