The Casebook of Augustus Maltravers
(2019)(A book in the Augustus Maltravers series)
An omnibus of novels by Robert Richardson
Macabre, tense and always quintessentially English, the acclaimed Augustus Maltravers series is a must for any fan of clever whodunnits.
Bringing together the first three mysteries of the series, this box set sees playwright and amateur sleuth Maltravers faced against increasingly baffling disappearances, thefts and murders.
From a stolen religious relic to a murder mystery based on a buried Sherlock Holmes manuscript by Conan Doyle himself, Maltravers and his partner Tess Davy must act quickly to stop the mastermind criminals behind these fiendishly difficult puzzles.
'He knows how to create suspense and an atmosphere of incipient evil; he provides us with a genuine puzzle, his characters are believable people, and the motive of his murderer is psychologically credible' - P. D. James
'Skilful rerouting and the taste of real tears' - The Sunday Times
'Eccentrics, suspects and witty writing abound' - The Times
'Here is a book to be missed only at your own peril' - Armchair Detective
'Elegantly written, beautifully characterised, suspenseful and oddly moving' - Mystery Reader's Journal
'Grand entertainment, deft handling and suave wit' - Publishers Weekly
