Description

The gripping debut from Amelia Blackwell, A Crime Through Time is the start of a quirky series where Jane Austen, time travel and crime 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 meanwhile, trouble is brewing back at Pemberley and time, it seems, is not on her side . . .

Author Bio

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.
