À propos de ce contenu audio

Miss Marple meets Nancy Mitford in this glittering new Christmas murder mystery set in Bath, from the bestselling and award-winning author of D is for Death.

On a frosty day in December 1936, librarian and part-time detective Dora Wildwood is summoned to Bath. She has no idea what will unfold but she is glad to go; recent events have left her longing to disappear.

Arriving on the world-famous Royal Crescent, Dora quickly learns of Daisy Palmer, whose unsolved murder looms large over the Georgian city. Daisy’s fiancé, Lord Frank Meroe, lives on as an eccentric recluse, his house full of clutter and abandoned treasures, as labyrinthine as it is magnificent.

Then, on the twentieth anniversary of Daisy’s death, murder is committed once more. As Christmas trees are lit and carol singers gather, Dora is drawn into a tangle of feuding families, suspicious antiquarian dealings and a conspicuous silence from everyone involved. For in the city of Jane Austen, loyalties run deep… and dangerously so.

A charming and unputdownable whodunnit and the perfect Christmas read for fans of classic crime.

Nancy Mitford meets Miss Marple over Christmas in 1936 Bath - what's not to love!
Think Margery Allingham meets the Mitfords. It’s charming and murder-y and romantic and ALL the lovely things
The perfect seasonal treat for lovers of mystery
Witty, moving and perfectly plotted, Murder on the Royal Crescent has a cast to die for and the most enormous beating heart - I loved it
This book is a crisp winter delight that has all the hallmarks of classic crime but with that extra spark that only Dora Wildwood can bring . . . I adore her
A deliciously indulgent festive treat full of sparkling characters and a satisfying, twisty mystery that will keep you guessing. Total bliss
The writing is pure joy, Mitford-light, deeply intelligent, every sentence something to savour
Pitch perfect. A love letter to Bath, to lady novelists, to classic crime - I loved every delicious sentence
