The Retirement Murder

The crime-fighting Enright family are back with a new mystery! Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, Andrew Taylor and Laura Shepherd-Robinson .

Scotland Yard is under attack...

London, 1898

The time has finally come for Percy Enright to retire from Scotland Yard. His nephew, Jack, is sad to lose a partner in the force, but Jack's wife Esther is glad Percy won't be getting her husband into any further scrapes.

It seems Esther's relief might be short-lived, though, when a senior officer collapses at Percy's farewell ceremony.

It soon becomes clear that the officer was poisoned, and Percy delays retirement to help Jack track down the culprit.

It's a daunting task that involves trawling through all the murdered officer's recent cases in the search for someone who may still bear him a grudge.

But when it becomes clear the dead man may not have been the intended target, the investigation suddenly turns in a new direction.

Why are the police being targeted? Can Percy make one final arrest before he retires?

Or will the murderer outwit the Enrights in their latest case...?

THE RETIREMENT MURDER is the ninth crime thriller in an exciting historical series, the Esther and Jack Enright Mysteries, a traditional British detective series set in Victorian London and packed full of suspense.
