Detective Betty Church is forced to revisit ghosts from her past when a skeleton is found buried in the woods.

As war rages in London, Inspector Betty Church finds herself on the trail of a cold-blooded killer in the sleepy Suffolk town of Sackwater.

Thriller writer Lady Violet Thorn is targeted by a menacing stalker, sending threatening messages and even attacking her and her friends. Could the maniac be her own Aunt Igitha?

Londra, 1884. Al civico 125 di Gower Street, che corrisponde all'indirizzo di Sidney Grice, il più famoso detective privato della città, regna la pace. Dopo le consuete chiacchiere serali, il grande investigatore e la sua pupilla March Middleton si sono ritirati nelle loro stanze, lasciando la dimora in un silenzio carico di armonia. Ma questa condizione non è destinata a durare. Qualcuno bussa freneticamente alla porta e ben presto il mistero e la morte tornano a intrufolarsi dentro casa: sta per cominciare una nuova indagine. Un'indagine che coinvolge un conte prussiano, due damigelle in difficoltà, un cinese che viene dal Galles e persino un gangster alla ricerca del vero amore. Ognuno di questi personaggi si muove tra le misteriose rovine di una casa, un tempo rinomata: Steep House. Riusciranno, una volta ancora, il detective Grice e la sua assistente March a risolvere il mistero? E quale sarà il prezzo da pagare per riportare a galla tutta la verità?

A cold case needs reopening ... fast in the next case for Sidney Grice and March Middleton - the Gower Street Detectives.

Home is where the horror is... Jilted thriller writer Lady Violet Thorn has withdrawn to the Suffolk market town of Montford with two servants and her leading character, the adventuress Ruby Gibson, for company. Violet's peace is disturbed when a stranger asks her for help, claiming that a friend is being kept prisoner in her own home. Her visitor seems so afraid that Violet, despite her scepticism, is persuaded to investigate. A woman is killed outside Violet's house, then another murdered in the town and, as the deaths mount up, she becomes convinced that they all lead to one place: the increasingly forbidding Haglin House, and whoever lives there... M.R.C. Kasasian returns with a fresh, witty and totally enthralling take on the classic crime genre, perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz, M. C. Beaton and Oscar De Muriel.

Gower Street, London, 1882. Sidney Grice, London's most famous personal detective, is expecting a visitor. He drains his fifth pot of morning tea, and glances outside, where a young, plain woman picks her way between the piles of horse-dung towards his front door. Sidney Grice shudders. For heaven's sake – she is wearing brown shoes. Set between the refined buildings of Victorian Bloomsbury and the stinking streets of London's East End, THE MANGLE STREET MURDERS is for those who like their crime original, atmospheric, and very, very funny. THE GOWER DETECTIVE SERIES: The Mangle Street Murders. The Curse of the House of Foskett. Death Descends on Saturn Villa.

New 1940s crime series, featuring Inspector Betty Church - one of the UK's first female police officers. Pitch-perfect historical crime.
