The Amalfi Cipher
(2026)(The seventh book in the Kitty Goring Investigates series)
A novel by Ella Strike
Sun-drenched cliffs. Glittering blue seas. And a most unexpected murder.
Amalfi, 1923
Homeward bound after a rather eventful Mediterranean voyage, Kitty Goring and her companions accept what seems like the simplest of invitations: a few days at a clifftop villa on the Amalfi Coast, the company of a charming host, and a private viewing of a remarkable antique. Sun, sea, and civilised conversation. What could go wrong?
Quite a lot, as it turns out.
Before the week is out, someone is dead, and the precious object at the heart of the gathering is missing. As the villa's beautiful isolation shifts from idyll to trap, Kitty finds herself with a killer in the house and no way off the cliff.
Fortunately, she is not entirely without resources. DCI Henry Burton has seen enough of Kitty's instincts by now to know better than to dismiss them, and together, they make a rather formidable pair. But even so, this case is unlike anything either of them has faced before.
She has solved murders on foggy London streets and in the shadows of ancient monuments. But with a killer growing bolder and the Mediterranean glittering deceptively below, Kitty suspects this may be her most dangerous mystery yet.
The Amalfi Cipher is the delightful seventh book in the Kitty Goring Investigates historical cozy mystery series; perfect for fans of Magda Alexander, Verity Bright and Kelly Mason.
Author's note:
London in the 1920s is a glamorous and exciting city, but danger and death are never too far behind. Join Kitty Goring and her group of Bright Young Things in the adventure of a lifetime, as they race to catch a killer who lurks amongst them.
Each book in this series is a cozy period mystery that features our plucky heroine, aided in her investigations by her scrappy little dog, Scottie, and a group of eccentric and lovable characters.
