Murder Most Foul

It’s 1593, Queen Elizabeth I rules, and the city is gripped by a terrifying plague outbreak. Shakespeare has only written six plays and is trailing behind his friend Christopher Marlowe, London’s top playwright.

When Marlowe is mysteriously stabbed to death, rumors fly—especially the one accusing Shakespeare of killing his rival. Determined to prove his innocence, Will teams up with Marlowe’s sister Ann, who has her own secrets.

Together, they dive into a dark world of betrayal, murder, and corruption—fueling the stories and characters that will inspire Shakespeare’s greatest works. Murder Most Foul is a gripping, witty, and fast-paced read from a beloved British screenwriter.
