The Samuel Pepys Historical Mysteries by Ellis Blackwood

Step into the flames, pomp and intrigue of 1660s London with Ellis Blackwood’s The Samuel Pepys Mysteries. When England’s most famous diarist turns detective, he relies on two unlikely inquisitors: sharp-witted housemaid, Abigail Harcourt, and earnest young protégé, Jacob Standish. From witch trials in the countryside to political scheming in London’s coffee houses and murders on the frozen Thames, each mystery plunges you into danger, deception and a city on the cusp of revolution. Rich with history and brimming with suspense, this six-books-and-counting series delivers fiendish whodunits with a dash of Restoration swagger. Begin the adventure today and see why readers can’t stop at one. As book blogger Rambling Mads said: “This series just gets better with every book!”
