The advanced paperback proof copy of A Very Vexing Murder by Lucy Andrew
The back cover of the advanced proof paperback copy of A Very Vexing Murder by Lucy Andrew. It has a quote from Mr Knightley from Jane Austen’s book Emma: “She knows nothing herself, and looks upon Emma as knowing every thing… her ignorance is hourly flattery. How can Emma imagine she has anything to learn herself, while Harriet is presenting such a delightful inferiority?” Beneath that it reads: But Harriet Smith - wallflower and amateur sleuth - has conned them all.
Looky looky I got booky! So excited to get an early look at an Austen-y mystery from my fabulous stablemate @lucyvandrew.bsky.social!
