Jane Austen: Private Eye

Flung across time and space, Jane Austen finds herself embroiled in an eerie murder mystery. In 1817, a young woman is murdered after attending a dance. 150 years later, another young woman meets an equally grizzly fate, and in the distant future, it looks like history will repeat itself again.

Out of time, out of place, and out of ideas, can Jane Austen solve the case before it's too late?

From the mad genius who brought you Diehard/Jane Austen mash up 'Perish with Great Difficulty' comes a time-travelling literary detective story, inspired by unlikely real life events.
