A Witness for the Deceased
Did Henry Dashwood commit suicide, or was he murdered?
Elinor and Marianne dig into their father's shady dealings at Dashwood & Co Solicitors, and find evidence of insurance fraud, money laundering and blackmail. They discover that their entire lives have been built on a single fraudulent act which ultimately led to their father's downfall.
Risking everything, can they survive against the twisted network of the Ferrar's criminal syndicate?
An expanded version of 'Nous and Nonsense' written to celebrate the works of Jane Austen for NODA 2025 Summer School table reading, this is a contemporary re-imagining of Sense and Sensibility.
