Miss Darcy Investigates

The first instalment in a time travelling cosy crime series featuring Georgiana Darcy from Jane Austen's Pride &amp; Prejudice.

Blackwell A: A Crime Through Time / LF

A Crime Through Time

'Pemberley, murder, hilarity and a romance to span the ages' - Rachel Wolf, author of Five Nights Cosy, quirky and utterly gripping, A Crime Through Time is the debut from Amelia Blackwell - the start of a series where crime, time travel and Jane Austen 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 trouble is brewing back at Pemberley and time, it seems, is not on her side . . . *** Praise for A Crime Through Time: 'A twisty, diverting romp . . . Clear your diary to finish it in one go' - Rebecca Reid, author of The Will 'An irresistible mix of laugh-out-loud humour, gripping mystery and endearing love story' - Saskia Sarginson, author of One Dark Summer 'Wonderfully original . . . a twisty cosy crime' - Emma Pass, author of Before the Dawn 'The perfect escapist read' - Katy Moran, author of the Regency Romance Trilogy

Hart Studies in Constitutional Law

This book provides the most complete history of the Regency Acts and Counsellors of State ever undertaken. Using documents from the National Archives, the book outlines why the position was created in the early 20th century, how the question of a regency and Counsellors of State became entangled with the abdication of Edward VIII, and how the position became a crucial feature of the reign of Elizabeth II. Counsellors of State were a little-known part of the constitutional monarchy. Yet, recently, the role has attracted public scrutiny as Princes Harry and Andrew remain Counsellors despite their withdrawal from public life. Counsellors can deputise for the monarch when they are overseas or unwell, ensuring that the monarchy can continue to fulfil its constitutional functions. The book explains the role of Counsellors and the legal and practical problems surrounding their functions. It also discusses the problems with how the Regency Acts provide for a regent. The reign of Charles III raises important questions both for the present and the future. The King is known to favour a "slimmed down", more flexible, modern monarchy. Reforming the positions of Counsellors of State and regent could be part of this. Should the position be used to smooth the transition to William V? Should the British monarchy follow examples from other monarchies in Europe and allow a monarch to retire with the heir to the throne acting as regent? The book concludes with suggested reforms to ensure that the modern monarchy continues to fulfil its constitutional duties.

“The best crime fiction I've read in twenty years.” — Stephen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author "A masterpiece....Don Winslow remains one of my all-time favorite writers." —James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author #1 internationally bestselling author Don Winslow—America’s King of Crime Fiction—is back and he’s better than ever. The trademark literary style, trenchant wit, and incisive characterization that have made Don Winslow a repeat New York Times bestselling author and “America’s greatest living crime writer” (Providence Journal) are on brilliant display in this new book sure to delight Winslow’s most devoted fans and first-time readers. The multi-million-dollar casino heist is impossible—it can’t be done. That’s what makes it irresistible to a legendary robber facing the rest of his life in prison for his “Final Score.” An ambitious, hard-working college-bound teenager has a side job delivering illegal booze to “The Sunday List” until a crooked cop, a seductive customer, and a fake guru threaten to end his dreams. Two wise guys tell each other a “True Story” over breakfast at a diner. It’s all bullshit and laughs until someone else has to pick up the check. An otherwise honest patrolman has to make an excruciating choice between his loyalty to the job and his love for a ne’er-do-well cousin in “The North Wing.” The entitled, substance-addicted movie star that surfer/PI Boone Daniels and his crew are hired to babysit in “The Lunch Break” is a problem. She also has a problem—someone wants her dead. Finally, the one terrible, momentary mistake that a devoted family man makes sends him to prison and on a “Collision” course between the man he wants to be and the killer he’s forced to become to survive. With a foreword written by award-winning crime author Reed Farrel Coleman, The Final Score is a propulsive, perceptive, and deeply immersive book of crime writing — the ultimate testament to Don Winslow's prowess as a living legend of the genre.

A Sociopath’s Guide to a Successful Marriage

ONCE UPON A TIME LIKE YOU'VE NEVER READ IT BEFORE... DI Lyla Rondell is on the case of a lifetime. Tasked with investigating a series of perplexing deaths, the only lead she has is that each appears to be based on a different classic fairy tale. Far from the stuff of bedtime stories, the press is having a field day with what they have named the Grimm Ripper Murders. But as the bodies stack up, Lyla's whole world is about to flip on its head. Because the killer's bloody trail stretches deep into her own origin story, and when she discovers the truth, nothing will ever be the same again. Faced with the fact that everything she knows is fiction, Lyla will have to take a little creative license of her own if she's going to turn the final page on the killings... 'An exquisite puzzle of a crime thriller, it revels in the shadows, as reality is savagely entwined with the very roots of storytelling itself... Prepare to be spellbound because A. K. Benedict is a master of this darkest art' JANICE HALLETT 'A clever, clever, thoroughly meta, extraordinarily enjoyable modern fairy-tale with layer after layer of intrigue and a breathless pace, I loved it, especially the delicious happy ever after' ANDREA MARA 'Hugely inventive and mind-bendingly clever' CLAIRE McGOWAN &nbsp; 'A fairytale trickster of a book, witty, sly and wickedly clever; it gripped me from first page to last.&nbsp;This is the thriller you'd get if Angela Carter kidnapped Stephen King and made him write with toadstool ink' KIT WHITFIELD &nbsp; 'Some passages read like Agatha Christie, some like Angela Carter&nbsp;- but all of it is written with the smoothness and intelligence that is AK Benedict's signature style. With charm and chills often on the same page, this is a serpentine novel that refuses to give up its secrets until it's good and ready' CHARLOTTE BOND
