I Am Now Going to Murder My Sister: Jane Austen's Untold Story. Inspired by Real Documents. - Paperback

by Lara Dmitrieva (Author)

"I am now going to murder my Sister."

Jane Austen wrote these chilling words over two centuries ago.

History recorded it as a piece of harmless fiction.

But LAPD Detective Ann knows a cover-up when she sees one.

When her sister Samantha ropes her into a seemingly playful Regency book club investigation, Ann begins dissecting the accepted history like an active crime scene, flipping everything we know about Jane Austen's family upside down. She spots what no literary scholar was trained to look for: motive, means, and opportunity.

Using real historical documents, medical reports, Austen's writings, and modern forensic techniques, Ann uncovers a shocking trail of blackmail, forged wills, suppressed manuscripts, and symptoms that point toward arsenic poisoning. Cassandra did not burn Jane's letters to protect her reputation. She burned them to protect someone else.

But exposing the greatest literary secret in history comes with a price. When Ann gets closer to the truth, she realizes someone in the present day is willing to do whatever it takes to keep it buried.

Two sisters. Two timelines. One deadly secret.

I Am Now Going to Murder My Sister is a gripping mystery that will change the way you read Jane Austen forever.
