Don't miss the traditional murder mystery with a delightful twist from the King of classic crime, Martin Edwards - MISS WINTER IN THE LIBRARY WITH A KNIFE is available to order now. 'A true master of British crime writing' RICHARD OSMAN ENGLAND, 1930. Grieving widows are a familiar sight on London's Necropolis Railway. So when an elegant young woman in a black veil boards the funeral train, nobody guesses her true purpose. When a suspicious death on the railway track occurs, amateur sleuth Rachel Savernake is led to investigate a sequence of baffling mysteries that must be connected: one in a blazing car; one in a seaside bungalow; one in a frozen lake. Joined by impetuous young journalist Jacob Flint and an eccentric female criminologist with a dangerous fascination with perfect crimes, Savernake must seek the answers to her questions at a house party on the eerie and remote North Yorkshire coast - within the walls of Mortmain Hall. Mortmain Hall is at once a gripping thriller and a classic whodunit puzzle: a Golden Age Gothic mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers.
