A Crime Through Time

'Pemberley, murder, hilarity and a romance to span the ages' – Rachel Wolf
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 . . .

I loved this twisty, diverting romp which gave the freshest perspective on much loved, well known characters. Clear your diary to finish it in one goRebecca Reid, author of The Will
I loved A Crime Through Time from the concept right through to the pitch perfect execution. It really is the perfect escapist read. The romantic chemistry is gorgeous, and I also especially enjoyed seeing other characters from Pride and Prejudice through a different lens, especially Anne. Lisa really did justice to those we really know and love, tooKaty Moran, author of the Regency Romance Trilogy
