'Pemberley, murder, hilarity and a romance to span the ages' - Rachel Wolf Cosy, quirky and utterly gripping, A Crime Through Time is the debut from Amelia Blackwell - the start of a series where crime, time travel and Jane Austen collide. Pemberley, 1799. When Miss Georgiana Darcy attempts to escape an unwanted marriage proposal, she isn't expecting to end up quite so far from home. But after encountering a mysterious object in the nearby woods, she finds herself transported almost two hundred years into the future. Saltram, 1995. At a grand country house where a film crew are busy shooting the latest Jane Austen adaptation, a terrible crime has been committed. And Miss Darcy - newly arrived, impeccably dressed and thoroughly confused - is the only witness. It soon becomes clear that, somehow, Georgiana was meant to solve this riddle. With the help of a distractingly handsome Irishman named Quinn and a border collie named Watson, she sets out to stop the killer before they can strike again. But trouble is brewing back at Pemberley and time, it seems, is not on her side . . . ***** Praise for A Crime Through Time: 'A twisty, diverting romp . . . Clear your diary to finish it in one go' - Rebecca Reid 'An irresistible mix of laugh-out-loud humour, gripping mystery and endearing love story' - Saskia Sarginson 'Wonderfully original . . . a twisty cosy crime' - Emma Pass 'The perfect escapist read' - Katy Moran
Amelia Blackwell has a Master's degree in Creative Writing, a corn snake called Colin, and a deep love of the works of Jane Austen. Although the Boleyns appear in her family tree, it's through marriage, not blood, which is probably just as well. Georgiana Darcy's most persistent suitor, Baron John de Halighwell, takes his name from one of Amelia's distant great-grandfathers, who lived in a mansion that even Lady Catherine de Bourgh would admire. Amelia lives with her husband and children in a tiny house by the sea in Cornwall.
Rezensionen
A Crime Through Time is an irresistible mix of laugh-aloud humour, gripping mystery and endearing love story. With Georgiana Darcy investigating the crime, this is sleuthing at its most charming Saskia Sarginson, author of One Dark Summer
