Be very careful how you tread the boards...
London's snow has melted since the glorious Thames Frost Fair, yet the chill remains - now haunting the dusky passageways of the Theatre Royal.
Rumours of financial ruin and rebellion draw Samuel Pepys's inquisitors, Abby Harcourt and Jacob Standish, into the riotous, raucous realm of Restoration theatre. What they uncover is no mere scandal - it's murder.
Driven from the playhouse, Jacob can only watch as Abby takes the stage herself, thrust into the spotlight as the King's Company's new principal actress. Can she sift truth from trickery in a world built on illusion, where lies trip from tongues like coins from a split purse?
When an old adversary resurfaces, Abby must race to save not only the theatre's reputation but her own life.
If she fails, the final curtain will fall on them all.
The Drury Lane Murders continues the Samuel Pepys Mysteries, historical mysteries steeped in period colour and brimming with fiendish whodunits. Step back into Pepys's London - once you do, you won't want to leave.
