Synopsis

Anty Boisjoly takes on his twistiest test to date in a tale of curses and crows, crypts and conspiracies, concealed corridors and clever crimes, delivered with a strong overpour of locked-room murder and buoyant Boisjoly banter.The ancient curse of Carnaby Castle has begun taking victims again—either that, or someone’s very cleverly done away with the new young bride of the philandering family patriarch, and the chief suspect is none other than Carnaby, London’s finest club steward.Anty Boisjoly’s wits and witticisms are tested to their frozen limit as he sifts the superstitions, suspicions, and age-old schisms of the mediaeval Peak District village of Hoy to sort out how it was done before Carnaby’s served his last scotch-and-soda.

About PJ Fitzsimmons

Phillip “PJ” Fitzsimmons writes the Anty Boisjoly series from the shady side of Montmartre in Paris, where he lives with his wife and two children. The series is the result of Phillip deciding, after years of ghost-writing everything from thrillers to Victorian romances, to write that which he himself most wanted to read—locked room mysteries in the motif of the world of PG Wodehouse.

Goodreads review by Cassandra

Remarkable wit, unforgettable characters, and a plot that all bring out the best in the mystery genre. Shades of Vincent Price and Agatha Christie mixed with the verbal dexterity of Pratchett. The phrase “vicissitudes visited” is one of my favorite examples of the wordplay. It feels like a classic i......more

Goodreads review by Daryl P Goodwin

Anty's antics. Are they a crime? In creating our hero, Anthony (Anty to friends) Boisjoly, the author has pulled off his ambition of combining P G Wodehouse and Agatha Christie. We have a superficially bumbling and dilettante bachelor who enjoys the finer things in life yet his main occupation is clu......more

Goodreads review by Katie

This was enjoyable enough, but a little too complicated even by the standards of a complex and twisty series. After a certain point, the revelations cease to astonish, if you know what I mean.......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer

I've been a huge fan of the Any Boisjoly mysteries, so I pounced on the chance to read the latest installment.
