When the Thames freezes over, Death will stalk the ice.
Londoners, still reeling from the Great Fire, gleefully spill onto the frozen river as the Frost Fair opens on St Stephen's Day, 1666. The fair promises delights aplenty - aromatic hot tipples, glittering trinket stalls, skaters from Holland, trips on the drum boat, barbers, shoemakers and taverns... But behind the revelry, murder lurks.
When a body is found entombed in the ice, Samuel Pepys calls upon his loyal inquisitors, Abigail Harcourt and Jacob Standish, to investigate. Suspects abound - Duke Hobbes, the waterman; Mr Sprig of The Lottery Booth; Signor Napoli, the puppeteer - each with secrets to hide.
While Abigail confronts a dark past she thought long buried, Jacob is caught in a web of lies and twisted zealotry. The inquisitors stumble.
And before the thaw, Death with claim another prize.
The Samuel Pepys Mysteries bring 17th century England vividly to life, in the company of the celebrated diarist himself, and his personal inquisitors, Abby and Jacob. If you love your cozy mysteries wrapped in history, this series is for you.
