Jacqson Diego Story Emporium presents a special book adventure exploring Julia Golding’s latest series Jane Austen Investigates.

We’re back! Join us for our first event back in the emporium, joined with a virtual visit from author Julia Golding for a night full of mystery and ghostly tales! Bring your best investigative hat and a well inked quill – it’s time to think ‘what would Jane Austen do?’

Jane Austen Investigates The Abbey Mystery is the first of Julia Golding’s latest series of books.

It's 1789 and a young Jane Austen turns detective as she seeks to solve the mysterious happenings at Southmoor Abbey. When a carriage accident forces a change of plans, 13-year-old Jane is sent to be a companion to Lady Cromwell for a week as the household prepares to celebrate the eldest son's coming-of-age party. While there, Jane vows to solve the mystery of the ghostly monk in the Abbey grounds - for she does not believe in such stories! But this is not the only strange occurrence for the adventurous young Jane to investigate.

There are shivery night-time investigations, an Indian girl with secret talents, a library fire, two prize horses in danger, and friends to save from false accusations. With notebook in hand and her faithful dog Grandison by her side, will Jane overcome the continuous obstacles and find out the truth?

Price includes a signed book, limited edition tote bag, refreshments and entry to the event.
