On this Sunday episode, V chats with Lara Dmitrieva about her book "I Am Now Going to Murder My Sister: Jane Austen's Untold Story. Inspired by Real Documents."

"I am now going to murder my Sister."

Jane Austen wrote these chilling words over two centuries ago.

History recorded it as a piece of harmless fiction.

But LAPD Detective Ann knows a cover-up when she sees one.

When her sister Samantha ropes her into a seemingly playful Regency book club investigation, Ann begins dissecting the accepted history like an active crime scene, flipping everything we know about Jane Austen's family upside down. She spots what no literary scholar was trained to look for: motive, means, and opportunity.

Using real historical documents, medical reports, Austen’s writings, and modern forensic techniques, Ann uncovers a shocking trail of blackmail, forged wills, suppressed manuscripts, and symptoms that point toward arsenic poisoning. Cassandra did not burn Jane’s letters to protect her reputation. She burned them to protect someone else.

But exposing the greatest literary secret in history comes with a price. When Ann gets closer to the truth, she realizes someone in the present day is willing to do whatever it takes to keep it buried.

Two sisters. Two timelines. One deadly secret.

I Am Now Going to Murder My Sister is a gripping mystery that will change the way you read Jane Austen forever.

On this Sunday episode, V chats with Brook Allen about her "The Antonius Trilogy" series.

Antonius: Son of Rome (The Antonius Trilogy Book 1)

Son of Rome is about the life of young Marcus Antonius after his father dies in disgrace in Rome. The Roman Republic is waning and the young man yearns to restore his family’s honor. Handsome and possessed of military talent, he's now entering manhood and falls prey to the excesses of a licentious Roman society. After an episode of whoring, gambling, and drinking, he finds himself mired in debt and grieving the death of his wife and unborn child. The political situation is dangerous while personal and political tragedy haunts his family. With help from a relative, the rising politician Julius Caesar, he finally earns a military commission, where he struggles to earn the respect and admiration of the soldiers, proconsuls, and kings that he deals with on his way to his destiny. Antonius: Son of Rome by Brook Allen is the first installment in a trilogy about the life of Marcus Antonius. More popularly known as Marc Anthony, a lot of books have been written about him but none is probably more introspective than Brook Allen's compelling trilogy. One of history's most controversial figures, Marc Anthony's life seems like an open book, but it is largely based on accounts written by his enemies. Allen's book, however, is an objective and microscopic look at the early life of Rome's iconic symbol of love and power. Antonius: Son of Rome is a revealing story of the young Marc Anthony. Growing up in the shadow of a disgraced father, this noble son of Rome has a very uncertain teenage life but he will go on to become a very promising soldier and this is just the beginning of his remarkable life story. Kudos to Brook Allen for introducing us to the real person behind the enigma that is Marcus Antonius. After young Marcus Antonius’s father dies in disgrace, he yearns to restore his family’s honor during the final days of Rome’s dying Republic. Marcus is rugged, handsome, and owns abundant military talent, but upon entering manhood, he falls prey to the excesses of a violent society. His whoring, gambling, and drinking eventually reap dire consequences. Through a series of personal tragedies, Marcus must come into his own through blood, blades, and death. Once he finally earns a military commission, he faces an uphill battle to earn the respect and admiration of soldiers, proconsuls, and kings. Desperate to redeem his name and carve a legacy for himself, he refuses to let warring rebels, scheming politicians, or even an alluring young Egyptian princess stand in his way.

SHE FOR WHOM THE SUN SHINES

Undercover artifact theft investigator Stefanie Adams and handsome Artifact Retrieval Team lead Thomas Burkhardt must head off trouble at the opening ceremonies of Egypt’s Grand Egyptian Museum, where anonymous notes threaten the glittering ‘Gold of the Pharaohs’ special exhibit. Things get sticky when the museum director includes Thomas’s mother, owner of Europe’s largest publishing house, on the suspect list.

While in Egypt, Stefanie hopes to fulfill her dream of visiting the fabulous tomb of Queen Nefertari, She For Whom The Sun Shines. But her plans change when trouble comes from an unexpected quarter, and the thief resorts to murder to possess a golden relic of ancient Egyptian royalty.

Stefanie and Thomas narrow the suspects down to a few: the A-lister who imagines herself as an ancient Egyptian queen. A photographer who craves validation for an ancestor’s slight. And the men who love them. Members of the Kemet Forever Society, who all admit to an obsession with ancient Egypt, and aren’t above using their influence to get what they want.

Trailing their suspects up the Nile through temples and tombs, Stefanie and Thomas race against time to recover the stolen gold before it is secreted out of Egypt and another victim falls in the thief’s deadly game.

The latest release

"The Chapel of Bones: The brand new page-turning mystery in the DI Wesley Peterson series"

South Devon is returning to its usual calm after the summer tourist season when DI Wesley Peterson and his team receive a disturbing call. A mummified body has been discovered, hidden behind a wall, during the renovation of nearby Sycamore House.

The body is that of Dr Aleric Donnal, an academic with a special interest in Devon's medieval history. Donnal was last seen over a decade ago, around the time that Sycamore House belonged to a new age commune who believed that the house occupied an ancient sacred site. While Wesley is seeking potential suspects for Donnal's murder, Dr Neil Watson is investigating the ruins of an ancient chapel nearby; a building once decorated with grotesque carvings of mythical creatures.

As Wesley's team work on one of their most baffling cases yet, a new murder occurs in a nearby village. Could the two crimes be linked? Wesley needs to separate truth from myth in order to solve this mystery.
