Murder in the British Museum: A 1920s Historical Mystery in London - Paperback

by Jennifer S. Alderson (Author)

London, 1925. Travel writer Evelyn Cartwright is having a ball exploring London's marvelous monuments, churches, and cultural exhibitions. But her time in the capital takes a dark turn when a curator at the British Museum is found bludgeoned to death with an ancient Egyptian statue.

When an elderly gentleman-whom Evelyn is certain couldn't have committed the crime-is arrested, she refuses to sit idly by. What she uncovers is a tangled web of museum rivalries, long-buried secrets, and dangerous ambitions.

With the city's underground world pulling her deeper into a labyrinth of clues, Evelyn must use her sharp wit to uncover the truth before the murderer strikes again.
