Description
‘A true master of British crime writing’ RICHARD OSMAN''Combines all the things I love most about crime fiction: atmospheric settings, twisty plots, intriguing characters and an unforgettable protagonist'' ELLY GRIFFITHSA superb Golden Age mystery packed with twists, from the winner of the Diamond Dagger 2020 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.DISCOVER THE REST OF THIS INCREDIBLE SERIES#1 GALLOWS COURT#2 MORTMAIN HALL#3 BLACKSTONE FELL#4 SEPULCHRE STREET#5 HEMLOCK BAYPraise for Mortmain Hall''Maintains a cracking pace...
