Description

The Stormhaven Etiquette Society, a secretive affair, unafraid to name and shame those who transgress.

Model Services, the town’s only brothel, a discreet but busy presence in Church Street.

Bybuckle Asylum, a desolate shell on the seafront that housed over seven hundred mental patients prior to ‘care in the community’.

What brings these three together is a cold-blooded execution that both shocks and confounds. For lying dead in the empty asylum, tied to an old metal bed frame, is a pillar of the establishment. Or is she? 

Sleuthing couple DI Tamsin Shah and her remarkable cleric uncle join forces once again to solve a murder mystery that reveals dark secrets from Abbot Peter’s tempestuous student years.  

‘Do we ever leave anything behind?’ he wonders as the killer swings the gun barrel towards him . . .

The Stormhaven Etiquette Society, a secretive affair, unafraid to name and shame those who transgress.

Model Services, the town’s only brothel, a discreet but busy presence in Church Street.

This was my first Abbot Peter book and wont be my last. Its set in Stormhaven and found the Stormhaven etiquette society very amusing especially when one of their members is murdered and we fin d out she owns a brothel.

Its interesting having a none traditional sleuth in Abbot Peter who helps his policewoman niece Tamsin. I enjoyed the plot.

I received an ARC from NetGalley to read and review. The below is my honest, unbiased opinion. Thank you, Simon Parke, the publisher, and NetGalley, for allowing me to review.

After seeing the cover for The Indecent Death of a Madam: An Abbot Peter Mystery, I just *had* to read it, and thankfully, Simon Parke didn't disappointment. I enjoyed this mystery and Parke's writing. I enjoyed the characters, the twists, and the suspenseful plot. If you're looking for a fast-paced mystery, this one's for you.
