Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The irresistible sequel to The Murder at World's End, where beloved detective duo, Stockingham & Pike, must catch a killer in a city teetering on chaos.

London, 1911. Coronation fever. Suffragette unrest. A city crackling with tension.


When a policeman is found brutally murdered on the streets of Kensington, blame falls on the three women seen fleeing the scene.

Their sole witness? Stephen Pike: ex-borstal boy, under-butler extraordinaire and assistant to the most unconventional detective in London, Miss Decima Stockingham. Sharp-tongued, fearless and bored of behaving herself, she’s the only one able to see that this case is not what it seems.

Aided by an invisible network of maids – their eyes and ears in every house in London – this unlikely duo must catch the killer before time runs out. But in a city dazzled by ceremony and divided by change, you never know what might be lurking in the shadows…

Your favourite duo return in this witty and gripping historical mystery, where Downton Abbey meets Sherlock.
