In the heart of historic Exeter, Detective Inspector Whipton Barton is called to investigate the mysterious death of Dr Evelyn Merton, a brilliant historian found dead in the Cathedral’s Chapter House. As Barton delves into the world of ancient manuscripts and academic rivalries, he uncovers a web of obsession and betrayal, and a chilling hoax. With the help of his team and the insights of those closest to Evelyn, Barton must unravel the truth before the killer strikes again. The Antiquarian is a gripping cosy mystery where history isn’t just a passion – it’s a deadly force.
“I really enjoyed the story, the beautiful setting, and the characters – and I take my hat off to you regarding the research you must have done – and I look forward to the next Barton & Brooks mystery!”
