There Must Be Murder

Acknowledgments

The authoress wishes to thank Cassandra Chouinard for her illustrations, which are not only beautiful but capture the fun of the story so well; Laura Boyle for pitching the idea and featuring the story so prominently on the Jane Austen Centre at Bath online magazine; Christina Hamilton for her expert copy editing; Laura McDonald for her patience and much-needed prodding, not to mention introducing me to so many wonderful books at Girlebooks; my Janeite Posse for posseing, in particular Team Tilney and the gang at Molland's who provided such great feedback and comments during the online serial publication of this Very Nice Story; my family, as always, for their encouragement of my writing and for embracing my Janeite freakiness, although they don't always understand it; and of course the incomparable Jane Austen for giving us these wonderful characters that continue to inspire me.
