The Piccadilly Murder

A glass of poison, a dead woman in Piccadilly, and a trail of clues only the sharpest detective can unravel. The Piccadilly Murder is a brilliant mystery written by a master craftsman, Anthony Berkeley—creator of the legendary sleuth Roger Sheringham. This classic British whodunit combines a shocking crime with Berkeley’s trademark wit, psychological insight, and clever plotting. When a seemingly ordinary afternoon in Piccadilly ends in tragedy, suspicion falls on a glass of poisoned spirits. Was it suicide, accident, or murder most foul?

Berkeley weaves an atmospheric London mystery filled with red herrings, sharp dialogue, and an ending as unexpected as it is satisfying. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Margery Allingham, The Piccadilly Murder is a must-have for lovers of classic whodunits, vintage British crime fiction, and Golden Age mystery reprints. This retro detective novel delivers everything mystery readers crave—a murder in London, an ingenious puzzle, and a detective who must untangle the web of lies before the killer strikes again.
