Find the perfect gift this Christmas

The Austen Christmas Murders

The festive season is fast approaching.

Jane Austen fears that without her siblings at home, there won’t be much Christmas cheer in the Austen household this year.

But when she uncovers a skeleton in the cellar of Deane Rectory, Jane soon forgets her woes. Who needs merriment, when there’s a mystery to solve?

Her investigation leads her to the legend of a young bride who’s long been thought to haunt the woods nearby. After fleeing her wedding breakfast, the bride was never seen again.

Has Jane found her at last? Or is there more to this mystery than meets the eye?

Tis the season for Jane to embark upon festive delights, making merry, and solving murders…

What an utterly delightful and cosy read! The Austen Christmas Murders is the perfect novella for any devoted Janeite to curl up with beside the fire. It was such a thrill to follow our beloved Miss Austen as she turned detective, and deeply satisfying to see the story brought to life with just the right touch of historical detail to make every page sing
