Description
Murder at the Ashmolean sets the tone for a gripping mystery in 1895 Oxford. A senior executive is found dead in his office, with no apparent motive for the act. Museum administrator Gladstone Marriott suspects foul play, and private enquiry agent Daniel Wilson is hired to discreetly investigate. As Wilson and his partner, Abigail Fenton, delve into the case, they uncover a web of secrets and deceit that lead them to question everyone's motives. Their enquiries are complicated by an interfering agent from Special Branch, who seems more interested in covering up the truth than uncovering it. With the help of unlikely allies, Wilson and Fenton must use their intellect and ingenuity to unravel the tangled threads of the aristocracy's secrets. As they dig deeper, they uncover a complex picture of politics, artefacts, and lost treasures, all of which seem to be connected to the murder. Can Wilson and Fenton uncover the truth behind the death at the Ashmolean, or will they become the next victims of a killer who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe?
