About this listen

One priceless artefact.
Two unlikely sleuths.
A murder stranger than fiction.

'Utterly charming and expertly plotted with twists I genuinely never saw coming!' Jessica Bull, author of Miss Austen Investigates

*Book 1 in a gripping new bookish cosy crime series - perfect for fans of The Three Dahlias, The Mitford Murders and golden age crime.*

---

In the shadow of Lewes castle lies buried an ancient tablet. Hours after discovering it, dashing local archaeologist Gideon Rivers is dead.

Writer Virginia Woolf and her artist sister, Vanessa, both know firsthand that it doesn't take much to cause a stir in town. And when Gideon returned home from a dig in Syria with a glamourous Parisian heiress on his arm, all eyes were on him.

But who would have conspired to murder such a charming young man? There are more suspects in his circle than it first seems: an ambitious fiancée, a jealous best friend, and a string of scorned former lovers.

With the police chasing false leads and the murderer hunting down a second victim - one far closer to home - Ginny and Nessa are forced to take investigations into their own hands.

Solving this mystery calls for a little creativity . . .

It doesn’t even deserve one star

This may not be the worst book I have in my audio library but it comes pretty close. The writer has not in anyway captured the two true characters of Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell or Leonard Wolf, the latter being reduced to the role of the gardener at Monks House. I would urge people not to waste their money on buying this book.
