Can Samuel Pepys save his sister from the hangman's noose?

September 1666. As the Great Fire devours London, fear grips the quiet village of Brampton, where Paulina Pepys, the diarist's sister, stands accused of witchcraft.

In desperation, Pepys dispatches his sharp-witted housemaid and earnest but awkward protege - Abigail Harcourt and Jacob Standish - to act as his personal inquisitors.

But are they up to the task?

Brampton is steeped in superstition, and villagers are dying - each marked by a straw poppet left on the doorstep.

As Abigail and Jacob struggle, Simon Hopkins - son of the infamous Witchfinder General - rides in, burning with zeal and eager to condemn.

Can Pepys's fledgling inquisitors clear Paulina's name before Hopkins forces her confession?

The Brampton Witch Murders launches the Samuel Pepys Mysteries, a historical mystery series steeped in period detail and brimming with fiendish whodunits. Step into Pepys's London - once you do, you won't want to leave.
