Welcome to Godmersham Park, 1797.

Jane Austen is spending 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.

But upon arrival in Kent, Jane realises Neddy is in dire need of her help. For a mysterious young woman currently resides with Mrs Knight – a stranger named Eleanor, who threatens to swindle the inheritance for herself.

Jane must uncover who Eleanor is, to protect the fortunes – and fate – of her entire family. But when her investigation takes a dangerous turn, can she solve the mystery – and save them all?

***Previously published in hardback as A Fortune Most Fatal***

A fun, clever mystery...a must-read for historical crime fiction fans ― Good Housekeeping

BRILLIANT. So sharply observed, yet fresh, funny and a joy to read -- Jennie Godfrey

This wonderful book feels almost like an immersive experience. Witty, clever and with exquisite detail. Miss Austen is a terrific sleuth -- Ian Moore

Sharp, searching and perfectly constructed, A Fortune Most Fatal is glorious - filled with wit, wrong turns and pitch-perfect characters, and a mystery that pulls expertly on the darker threads of 1797 society too. Jessica Bull is the real deal - a storyteller of such skill and empathy and verve, whose prose sings on every page. Jane Austen would adore this series - and so do I! -- Alex Hay ― author of The Housekeepers
