1799, 1955: Jane Austen, time travel and crime collide.
A Crime Through Time
What you need to know before your trail
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 meanwhile, trouble is brewing back at Pemberley and time, it seems, is not on her side . . .
Travel Guide
Pemberley
Pemberley is the name of the country estate in Jane Austen’s novel “Pride and Prejudice,” owned by Mr. Darcy. It is often associated with the fictional town of Lambton, and is said to be inspired by Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. In the 2005 film adaptation of the book, Chatsworth House was used to represent Pemberley.
