With a killer on the loose, new footman Stephen and the Viscount's hilariously vile-tempered aunt form an unlikely detective duo.

This is impeccable writing, with a plot as sharp as cut glass and characters that jump right out of the pages. * Janice Hallett * A hugely enjoyable book, which takes all the traditional locked-room mystery conventions and puts them through the mangle * Andrew Hunter-Murray * A witty, fleet-footed historical mystery, The Murder at World's End is a slice of undiluted joy * Alex Hay * A wonderfully clever take on the classic locked-room mystery. I’ll happily follow foul-mouthed Miss Decima and steadfast Stephen Pike through many more mysteries * Kristen Perrin * Devilishly plotted and beautifully executed, Ross Montgomery’s debut historical crime fiction novel is an utter joy from start to finish * Abir Mukherjee * Ingeniously plotted and highly addictive.
