Murder at the British Museum | Jim Eldridge
6 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
1894. A well-respected academic is found dead in a gentlemens convenience cubicle at the British Museum, the stall locked from the inside. Professor Lance Pickering had been due to give a talk promoting the museums new Age of King Arthur exhibition when he was stabbed repeatedly in the chest. Having forged a strong reputation working alongside the inimitable Inspector Abberline on the Jack the Ripper case, Daniel Wilson is called in to solve the mystery of the locked cubicle murder, and he brings his expertise and archaeologist Abigail Fenton with him. But it isnt long before the museum becomes the site of another fatality and the pair face mounting pressure to deliver results. With enquiries compounded by persistent journalists, local vandals and a fanatical society, Wilson and Fenton face a race against time to salvage the reputation of the museum and catch a murderer desperate for revenge.

This was an enjoyable book.

It was a light, easy read with interesting characters, an engaging plot, and enough Victoriana to make the setting feel fleshed out.

Will definitely read the other books in the series.

dodgygothbint Hehe, I'm kinda surprised nobody's bought me this as a gift 😉 4y

Catching up on my reading while waiting for my next client. Reformers are oddly comfortable to sit on

Boring and most of the people‘s names start with W, which is an appalling lack of imagination. A slog to get through.

Rainy day! Off to do a three-hour library shift and then an afternoon of reading. If you need me, you‘ll find me here.
