Description
Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders by Gyles Brandreth is a gripping cosy historical mystery that whisks you away to the grand drawing rooms and back alleys of London in 1889. When a young man is found dead in a dark attic room, surrounded by candles, Oscar Wilde knows he can't rest until the killer is behind bars. Joining forces with Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, the pair set out to unravel the real-life plot and outsmart the murderer hiding in the shadows. As they delve into the case, Wilde and Doyle discover that solving a crime is very different from writing one. With their combined wit and experience, they navigate the complexities of the investigation, following a trail of clues that lead them from the high society of London's elite to the darker corners of the city. A wonderfully entertaining read, Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders is a worthwhile read for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, and Richard Osman.
