Death’s Long Shadow

Another twisty murder mystery set in 18th-century England! Perfect for fans of Andrew Taylor, S. G. MacLean, Michael Jecks and Laura Shepherd-Robinson. Two murders, seemingly unconnected, but could there be a link...?

1792

Playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan's retreat to the country is interrupted when he stumbles upon a body during a woodland stroll.

The man is identified as Edward Stretton, cousin to Earl Cannock who Sheridan is residing with.

Stretton had a reputation as a scoundrel and seducer and was heavily in debt at the time of his death.

He had been poisoned, and when the Earl's servants are questioned, unusual evidence puts one man in custody.

But Sheridan is not convinced of his guilt. And once another man is murdered, he suspects there may be a connection.

Can Sheridan uncover the link? Could he save an innocent man from death?

Or will this case prove too complex for this amateur sleuth...?

Death's Long Shadow is the second historical murder investigation in the Richard Brinsley Sheridan Mystery Series: 18th-century crime thrillers set in London at a time of Revolution.
