Miss Austen Investigates

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. <i>Miss Austen Investigates</i> is her debut novel. <b>Richly imagined and wonderfully plotted - a great read</b> Such a clever idea pulled off with considerable deftness.
