Murder In The Museum

by John Rowland
Murder In The Museum - Thryft
Murder In The Museum - Thryft

Intriguing murder mystery set in British Museum.

"Murder in the Museum" is a thrilling read for fans of classic murder mysteries. The unique setting of the British Museum adds an interesting layer to the story. The author's ability to connect seemingly unrelated deaths and draw readers into the investigation is impressive. Readers will be kept on their toes until the very end trying to piece together the puzzle just like Inspector Shelley.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

When Professor Julius Arnell breathes his last in the hushed atmosphere of the British Museum Reading Room, it looks like death from natural causes. Who, after all, would have cause to murder a retired academic whose life was devoted to Elizabethan literature? Inspector Shelley's suspicions are aroused when he finds a packet of poisoned sugared almonds in the dead man's pocket; and a motive becomes clearer when he discovers Arnell's connection to a Texan oil millionaire.Soon another man plunges hundreds of feet into a reservoir on a Yorkshire moor. What can be the connection between two deaths so different, and so widely separated? The mild-mannered museum visitor Henry Fairhurst adds his detective talents to Inspector Shelley's own, and together they set about solving one of the most baffling cases Shelley has ever encountered.
