Who would kill for a bowl of coffee in Pepys's London? September 1666. Samuel Pepys's prized pocket watch is stolen in Rose's Coffee House on The Strand. Hours later, Eustace Blount - notorious wit and agitator - is found dead there. Amid the haze of tobacco smoke and the aroma of the roasted bean, Pepys's inquisitors, Abigail Harcourt and Jacob Standish, are pitched between Royalist MPs and republican firebrands. And with the King's favour at stake, words soon prove deadlier than daggers. As factions jostle and plots ferment, the hunt for a killer carries Abby and Jacob far beyond the chatter of the coffee houses... Into Westminster's guarded halls, where discovery means certain death. The Coffee House Murders continues the Samuel Pepys Mysteries, a historical mystery series steeped in period detail and brimming with fiendish whodunits. Step back into Pepys's London - once you do, you won't want to leave.
