Death in the Spires: A Completely Gripping and Addictive Historical Mystery - Paperback

by KJ Charles (Author)

The newspapers called us the Seven Wonders. We were a group of friends, that's all, and then Toby died. Was killed. Murdered.

1905. A decade after the grisly murder of Oxford student Toby Feynsham, the case remains hauntingly unsolved. For Jeremy Kite, the crime not only stole his best friend, it destroyed his whole life. When an anonymous letter lands on his desk, accusing him of having killed Toby, Jem becomes obsessed with finally uncovering the truth.

Jem begins to track down the people who were there the night Toby died - a close circle of friends once known as the 'Seven Wonders' for their charm and talent - only to find them as tormented and broken as himself. All of them knew and loved Toby at Oxford. Could one of them really be his killer?

As Jem grows closer to uncovering what happened that night, his pursuer grows bolder, making increasingly terrifying attempts to silence him for good. Will exposing Toby's killer put to rest the shadows that have darkened Jem's life for so long? Or will the gruesome truth only put him in more danger?

Some secrets are better left buried...
