Murder at Madame Tussauds: The gripping historical whodunnit

1896 Daniel Wilson and Abigail Fenton become involved when a newly employed nightwatchman, Eric Dudgeon, is found dead at Madame Tussauds. As the second man, Walter Bagshot, has disappeared the police believe he is the guilty person. But Detective Inspector John Feather does not agree, but he has been assigned to the series of bank robbery cases. An enjoyable and well-written historical mystery, with a likeable style of writing and good plotting. Also with its amiable characters. A good addition to the series, which can easily be read as a standalone story.

Victorian-London, private-investigators, law-enforcement, murder, murder-investigation, museum, friendship, theft, archaeologist, ex-cop, 1896, egoist**** Abigail Fenton is an archaeologist who even explored the tombs in Egypt with Flinders-Petrie but is now working as a private enquiry agent with her partner, Daniel Wilson who is a former Scotland Yard detective. Together they are known as the Museum Detectives because of the past cases they have solved. This one is quite different. One part is the circumstances surrounding two new guards at Mme Tussauds, and the other is the burglary and theft of both money and the contents of safe boxes. Very involved and twisty! Good characters who are well done (especially the politicos) and lots of red herrings. A very good read! I requested and received a temporary digital ARC of this book from Allison & Busby via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
