'Martin Edwards is a true master of British crime writing' RICHARD OSMAN
From the author of the most puzzling festive whodunnit MISS WINTER IN THE LIBRARY WITH A KNIFE comes an ingenious series featuring the enigmatic amateur sleuth Rachel Savernake.
Set during the Golden Age of crime fiction, and with a series character who is as mysterious as the murders she solves, this is a classic series with a modern spin, each containing a Cluefinder so you can test your wits against Rachel and play detective yourself if you wish.
Collected in a single volume for the first time, this boxset comprises of:
#1 GALLOWS COURT
#2 MORTMAIN HALL
#3 BLACKSTONE FELL
#4 SEPULCHRE STREET
#5 HEMLOCK BAY
