A novel by Andrea Hicks
THE WHITBY ABBEY MURDERSWhitby, 1927.
Some legends refuse to stay buried...
When Camille Divine, her husband Richard, their spirited friend Elsie, and the ever-curious Cecily escape to the dramatic Yorkshire coast for a well-earned holiday, they expect sea air, ancient history, and evenings overlooking the harbour.
Instead, they find murder.
Towering above the town, the haunting ruins of Whitby Abbey have watched over centuries of secrets. When a wealthy visitor is discovered dead beneath its crumbling arches, the police dismiss the death as a tragic accident or an intentional death.
As whispers of ghostly monks and long-forgotten curses spread through the narrow cobbled streets, another death shatters the uneasy calm. Someone is using Whitby's legends as the perfect cover for cold-blooded murder. And there are many legends for the murderer to choose from.
Together, Camille, Richard, Cecily, and Elsie follow a trail through windswept cliffs, hidden smugglers' tunnels, ancient manuscripts, and the grand houses of Whitby's most influential families. But every answer leads to another question...and someone is determined that Camille will never uncover the truth.
Because beneath the shadow of the Abbey lies a secret worth killing for.
With danger closing in and time running out, Camille must separate myth from murder before she becomes the killer's final victim.
The Whitby Abbey Murders is a captivating Jazz Age mystery filled with unforgettable characters, atmospheric settings, ingenious twists, and the charm of classic British detective fiction. Perfect for readers who love Agatha Christie, glamorous 1920s mysteries, and clever whodunits.
