The Samuel Pepys Mysteries, Books 1-3

Historical Mysteries from 17th Century London

By: Ellis Blackwood

Narrated by: Charles Johnston

Three murder mysteries. One diarist. Two brilliant but unlikely sleuths.

Step into the dark heart of Restoration England with celebrated diarist, Samuel Pepys, and his loyal inquisitors, Abigail Harcourt and Jacob Standish, as they unravel deadly plotting behind respectable façades.

• In The Brampton Witch Murders, Pepys’s own sister stands accused of witchcraft as the Great Fire consumes London - and the fanatical son of the Witch-finder General rides for the gallows.

• In The Plague Doctor Murders, a figure in beaked mask and black robes stalks the Deptford docks, spreading terror in the plague’s wake. Can Abby and Jacob unmask the villain before death claims another prize?

• In The Coffee House Murders, a dead pamphleteer, a vanished watch, and a cryptic trail through Westminster draw the inquisitors into a tangled plot with treason at its core.

Packed with twists, rich in period atmosphere, and laced with dry wit, these intricate mysteries breathe life into a London of candlelight and corruption.

Includes the first three full-length eBooks in this acclaimed series.
