In a bustling Piccadilly tearoom, a mild-mannered gentleman witnesses a scene he can’t forget: a woman shares a quiet table with a suave companion—minutes later, she collapses and dies. The police pounce on the obvious suspect, and our reluctant witness is pushed to “remember” what fits their theory. But memory isn’t so tidy.
Doubting his own certainty, he starts sleuthing on his own—through chemists and cafes, alibis and time-tables—unraveling a poison plot where every neat conclusion hides a trap.
A classic Golden Age setup flipped on its head: the witness isn’t just a pair of eyes — he’s the key to the truth, forced to test what he thinks he saw against what really happened.
For readers who crave elegant deduction, sly humor, and a poisoner who plays the long game, The Piccadilly Murder is a crisp, satisfying delight.
