What to expect
Jane Austen is preparing for the summer season.
As guests of their wealthy relatives Mr and Mrs Leigh-Perrot, Jane and her sister Cassandra will be holidaying in Bath Spa – the world-famous health resort, and more importantly, the epicentre of the marriage mart.
For many, the summer will be spent hunting husbands. But for Jane, when a series of murders breaks out across the city, she must chase down a killer instead.
With her beloved sister by her side, Jane is determined to bring the murderer to justice. Can she stop this villain from taking any more victims, before the summer ends? Or will her only dance of the season be with death…

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

Jessica Bull's writing sparkles in this charming, murder-y homage to Miss Austen. I was sad to reach the last page

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!
