`Pemberley, murder, hilarity and a romance to span the ages' - Rachel Wolf, author of Five NightsCosy, 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 . . .
