Three murders. One diarist. And two unlikely detectives navigating witch hunts, dockside devilry… and the underbelly of Restoration London.

Step into the dark heart of 17th-century England with Samuel Pepys and his loyal inquisitors, Abigail Harcourt and Jacob Standish, as they unravel deadly secrets behind respectable façades.

In The Brampton Witch Murders, Pepys’s own sister stands accused of witchcraft as flames consume London - and a fanatical witch-finder rides for the gallows.
In The Plague Doctor Murders, a figure in beaked mask and black robes stalks the Deptford docks, spreading terror in the plague’s wake. Can Abby and Jacob unmask him before death comes knocking?
In The Coffee House Murders, a murdered wit, a stolen watch, and a dangerous trail through Westminster plunge the inquisitors into a political conspiracy with lethal consequences.

Packed with twists, rich in period atmosphere, and laced with dry wit, these fiendish mysteries bring Restoration England vividly to life - with murder at their heart and mischief never far behind.

Includes all three full-length audiobooks in the acclaimed series.
