*PRE-ORDER NOW - THE DELICIOUSLY DARK VICTORIAN MURDER MYSTERY PERFECT FOR GIFTING THIS CHRISTMAS*
'Superb...
a rich puzzle imbued with all the splendour of the Victorian Gothic' TOM MEAD
It is December 1884, and we have a murder to solve.
Come, my friend - follow me, for we have much to see.
First, a house: a brand-new country estate, with all the latest technological innovations - electric light-bulbs, running water, dumb-waiters, hydraulic lifts.
Second, a family: celebrated inventor Sir Russell Morgan, his grown-up children, his beautiful new wife.
Next, their guests: the great and the good (well, the rich), dressed in all their finery, eager to celebrate Christmas at Clifftop House.
And finally: a body - for what festive mystery would be complete without one? Here lies one of the servants, laid out beneath the Christmas-tree, his hands covered in burns.
The police dismiss his death as an accident, but our heroine, Millie - kitchenmaid and keen reader of sensation novels - is not so sure.
Christmas Day is fast approaching. Can the mystery be solved before the killer strikes again?
