The Shadows of Kensington Gore: A Novel

A wickedly funny sequel to The Murder at World’s End from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ross Montgomery that will delight fans of Knives Out and Thursday Murder Club. Beloved detective duo, Stockingham & Pike, return to solve a murder in the heart of London!

London, 1911. Coronation fever. Suffragette unrest. A city crackling with tension.

When a policeman is found brutally murdered on the streets of Kensington, blame falls on the three women seen fleeing the scene.

As riots flare and the city teeters on chaos, the case falls to the most unlikely detective duo in London: sharp-tongued octogenarian, Miss Decima Stockingham, and her loyal servant, Stephen Pike, who also happens to have been the first on the scene of the crime. Miss Decima, brilliant, fearless and bored of behaving herself, is the only one able to see that this case is not what it seems.

Aided by an invisible network of maids—their eyes and ears in every house in London—this unlikely duo must catch the killer before time runs out. But in a city dazzled by ceremony and divided by change, you never know what might be lurking in the shadows...

Your favorite duo return in this witty and gripping historical mystery, where Downton Abbey meets Sherlock.
