The Lancashire Post has just published a new review for Amelia Blackwell‘s ‘twisty, diverting romp’ (Rebecca Reid) A Crime Through Time:

‘A Crime Through Time – the first book of Blackwell’s Miss Darcy Investigates series – proves to be an engrossing, quirky and original Austen-esque romp as the shy and meek Georgiana is transported backwards and forwards through time and space from Pemberley in 1799 to the spectacular real-life Georgian mansion, Saltram House in Devon, in 1995 where a film crew is shooting the latest Jane Austen adaptation.’

Read the full review here.

Georgiana Darcy, the younger sister of the renowned Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, leads a privileged, quiet life in Georgian England. But beneath her demure façade lie a sharp, keen intellect and an insatiable curiosity. When she discovers a mysterious device hidden deep in the woods of Pemberley, her life takes an extraordinary turn…

Georgiana soon unlocks the secrets of the device, which is able to transport her through time and across the world. She embarks on a thrilling journey as a time-travelling detective.  A Crime Through Time finds Georgiana on the set of the 1995 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility: a vast estate in Devon. Initially mistaken for an extra, she is soon investigating the murder of a groundsman—the uncle of handsome, young Irishman Quinn Quinlan. Meanwhile, back in 1799, Georgiana’s sister-in-law Elizabeth struggles with her pregnancy.

Can Georgiana solve the murder and save Elizabeth? And how will she handle her budding romance with Quinn, given they live 200 years apart?
