In London, 1666, drinking coffee can get you killed...

The case of Samuel Pepys's missing pocket watch escalates rapidly when Eustace Blount, poet, satirist and wit, is found murdered in Rose's Coffee House on The Strand.

Blount was a prig, a poseur and a parliamentarian - nobody liked him, not even his friends - and Pepys's intrepid personal inquisitors, Abby Harcourt and Jacob Standish, find themselves with a suspect list as unwieldy as it is perplexing.

When their investigation leads to the nearby Gilded Bean coffee house, frequented by fervently royalist members of parliament, it becomes clear that a dangerous political game is afoot. Abby and Jacob face their most audacious challenge yet:

To break into Westminster Palace, at the very heart of English politics. The penalty, if discovered - is death.

The Samuel Pepys Mysteries bring 17th century England vividly to life, in the company of the celebrated diarist himself, and his personal inquisitors, Abby and Jacob. If you love a cozy mystery wrapped in history, this series is for you.
