Travel Guide

British Museum reading room.

Careful when you step inside the British Museum reading room. What ever you do, don’t go eating any sugared almonds

Professor Julius Arnell is working here and is an expert on Elizabethan dramatists and so spends a lot of time in the reading room, surrounded by books and books and more books. He’s a retired academic so very at home with his surroundings.

Already the setting is lovely, but another man, who is there and who seems to use the reading room for not much more than people watching is a suspect.

This is a death amongst the books, the hushed tones of the reading room, a very unique and quiet environment but when death enters this hallowed place, a very iconic reading space, so imagine reading this book right in the very spot where the crime takes place!
