THE DELICIOUSLY DARK VICTORIAN MURDER MYSTERY PERFECT FOR GIFTING THIS CHRISTMAS

A Christmas party.
Two dead bodies.
A mystery that no one can solve.


It is December 1884, and we have a murder to solve.

Inventor and millionaire Sir Russell Morgan has invited his friends and investors to celebrate Christmas at Clifftop House. His esteemed guests are welcomed to his brand-new home, complete with all the latest technological innovations: electric light bulbs, dumb waiters, working lifts.

But when a footman is found dead – electrocuted – on the very first night of the party, the festivities are thrown to the wind. The police dismiss Fred’s death, and the inquest declares it an accident, but his friend Millie, the kitchenmaid, is not so sure.

Who would have wanted to kill Fred? Did he know a secret about the Morgan family? Or about Sir Russell’s guests?

Christmas Day comes, but can the killer be caught before they strike again?
