Description
***A BBC RADIO 2 BOOK CLUB PICK *** Get ready to meet your favourite new detective duo... Downton Abbey meets Knives Out in this witty and gripping historical cosy crime series. 'A tantalising whodunnit with some of the funniest dialogue I've read in a while' Jennie Godfrey, bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things 'A joy from start to finish. This is crime writing at its best' Janice Hallett, bestselling author of The Appeal Cornwall, 1910. On a remote tidal island, the Viscount of Tithe Hall is absorbed in feverish preparations for what he believes will be the apocalypse. The Hall must be sealed from top to bottom, but what the foolish Viscount has failed to take into account is the danger that lies within... By morning, he will be dead in his sealed study, murdered by his own ancestral crossbow. All eyes turn to Stephen Pike, the newest member of staff. Fresh out of Borstal for a crime he didn't commit, he is the wrong man in the wrong place at the wrong time. His unlikely ally? Miss Decima Stockingham, the fearless, foul-mouthed, eighty-year-old matriarch who relishes chaos and puzzles alike. A murder is just the thrill she's been waiting for. Together, this mismatched duo must navigate secret passages, buried grudges and rising terror to unmask the killer before it's too late... Praise for The Murder at World's End: 'Fans of P G Wodehouse will enjoy this!' Alexander Armstrong 'Devilishly plotted and beautifully executed, this is an utter joy from start to finish' Abir Mukherjee, bestselling author of Hunted 'Riotous and deeply enjoyable' Telegraph 'A witty, fleet-footed historical mystery . . . a slice of undiluted joy' Alex Hay, bestselling author of The Housekeepers 'An absolute cracker!' The Sun 'Hugely enjoyable' Andrew Hunter-Murray, author of A Beginner's Guide to Breaking and Entering
