Murder in the British Museum: A 1920s Historical Cozy Mystery set in London

London, 1925. Travel writer Evelyn Cartwright is having a ball exploring London’s marvelous monuments, churches, and cultural exhibitions. But her time in the capital takes a dark turn when a curator at the British Museum is found bludgeoned to death with an ancient Egyptian statue.

When an elderly gentleman—whom Evelyn is certain couldn’t have committed the crime—is arrested, she refuses to sit idly by. What she uncovers is a tangled web of museum rivalries, long-buried secrets, and dangerous ambitions.

With the city’s underground world pulling her deeper into a labyrinth of clues, Evelyn must use her sharp wit to uncover the truth before the murderer strikes again.

The English-lanugage version is available as eBook, paperback, audiobook, and in Kindle Unlimited on Amazon. You can also buy the paperback version at many fine retailers, including Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, and Waterstones.


Murder in the British Museum is also available in Dutch, French, German, Spanish and Italian!
