The twelve stories in Crime and Prejudice imagine a deliciously seamy underside to Jane Austen's world. Arson, highway robbery, petty crime and murder mingle with fox-hunting, bawdy-houses, gaming-tables and transportation to Australia in these tales recounted to Elizabeth Darcy by her friends and family.
Discover why Mr. Bennet became a pug owner and a poisoner; how Elizabeth Darcy started a riot while agitating for women's enrolment at Cambridge; where Caroline Bingley found forbidden love; and, of course, when Mr. Darcy actually came by his wet shirt.
The Crime and Prejudice short stories are playful, subversive, sometimes poignant, but always faithful to the spirit of the original characters and their author's acerbic wit. These people are flawed, like us, but endearing in their struggles to overcome their limitations, particularly those placed on women in Regency England. For ultimately, it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a good fortune has no want at all of a husband.
If you like Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series, and enjoy the novels of Jane Austen, Crime and Prejudice is for you!
“With subtle wit and uncanny ventriloquism, these vignettes of Austen’s characters deepen our understanding of her novels, while effortlessly entertaining us. Delightful!” — Stephanie Barron, author of the Being a Jane Austen Mystery series
The stories in Crime and Prejudice are wickedly funny in a way that Jane Austen would enjoy. Julia Miller has combined meticulous research into the seamy side of 19th century England with a faultless ear for the voices of the characters of Pride and Prejudice to create for each one a plausible, or at least possible, afterlife that readers will find amusing and sometimes moving. — Dr Gillian Dooley, author of She Played and Sang: Jane Austen and Music
I’ll be d! A most thoroughly ingenious collection, which instantly put me in an even temper. Capital! — Professor Paul Baker, author of Fabulosa! The Story of Polari, Britain's Secret Gay Language_
"Julia Miller is a lifelong fan of Jane Austen. Combine that with her love of crime writing, humour and mystery, and throw in her passion for language, and you'll understand why her writing Crime and Prejudice was as inevitable as a wet shirt in a televised Regency romance. Julia studied French and Spanish at Cambridge and taught English in Portugal. She later spent many happy years as a university lecturer in Australia, collecting a PhD along the way. Apart from interacting with some incredibly inspiring students, the most enjoyable part of her academic career was developing the free English for Uni website, with its humorous teaching videos featuring grammar detective Ms Parrot. She has written in a variety of genres, including crime and romance. All her novels contain elements of intrigue, with more than a dash of humour, and all have strong women characters.
