The murder mystery of the season, introducing the new literary sleuth – Miss Jane Austen, perfect for fans of Tom Hindle and Janice Hallett.

Though young in years, Jane Austen has long had the sharp wit and shrewd insight to observe what others do not.

So when the body of a milliner is shockingly discovered during a lavish ball at Sir John Harcourt’s estate, she sees how blind polite society can be to the truth.

With the death pronounced a murder and Jane’s brother Georgy swiftly accused of the deed, the injustice of it strikes close to home.

A funny, addictive and poignant novel about what happens when the lines between friendship, romance, and family begin to blur.

Kessie and Robin have been best friends since they were small. Now they’ve reached their mid-thirties, and biological clocks are ticking loudly. But Kessie is single, Robin’s partner is ambivalent about trying for a baby, and single parenting sounds almost impossible.

When one of them gets pregnant, the other finds herself helping out to an extent that neither had expected. How far is a supportive friend supposed to go? What do you do when you feel like a mother to a child who isn’t yours? Are there alternative ways to conceive of a family?

Our Blog

We have read books for over thirty years (or over sixty years if you combine our ages!). We often read and review books ahead of publication thanks to the generosity of many authors and publishers that we are connected with which helps us to know what’s coming and what we should be putting in our boxes.

Ahh Amanda Prowse, you’ve finally written a main character that I mostly didn’t like! And I LOVED that! There was a familiarity at times (uncomfortably so) and the feeling of being able to relate. She was crafted in such a way that there was a huge […]
This isn’t really a romantasy as it has been badged by the publisher, if you’re looking for proper romantasy vibes then you will be disappointed! But if you view it as a contemporary romance then there will be less disappointment because it fits into that category […]
We were honoured to host Amanda Prowse’s publication week launch celebration for This One Life – amidst the coldest few days we’d had for ages, just as the snow was melting, it was the tonic of laughter and warmth that we all needed! Smiling in January? […]
