Description

Your favourite crime-fighting family are back! Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Rory Clements and Antonia Hodgson...

It was the trial of the century that shocked England to its core...

London, 1895

The whole of England is agog with the revelation that one of its favourite playwrights, Oscar Wilde has been accused of homosexuality and has brought a court action against his accuser in the hope of retrieving his good character.

When disturbing information is brought to light regarding the famous names that are likely to be dropped in open court and the dark crimes they may have committed, Detective Inspector Percy Enright and his nephew Detective Sergeant Jack Enright are ordered to suppress the scandal.

But when a leading peer goes missing, the caseload at Scotland Yard is stretched to the limit...

With two intermingled investigations and a fresh eye needed to spot the connections between them, Jack's wife Esther, bored to distraction by domestic duties, finds herself involved once again...

Together they embark on another investigation into the seedier elements of late Victorian society. The Enrights are hopeful that this time they won't be put in any personal danger.

But one can never be entirely certain...

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

"An enduring mystery with a new detective partnership" Linda Stratmann, author of the Frances Doughty and Mina Scarletti Mystery Series

***DISCLAIMER: This novel reflects the views and attitudes of the prosecutors at the time of Oscar Wilde's trial when homosexuality was illegal in England. Some readers may find some of this language upsetting.***
