Set in 1901, these witty, atmospheric mysteries blend Edwardian legal drama with classic whodunit charm. Ideal for fans of cosy crime and courtroom intrigue, this set brings together the first two instalments of Sally Smith's acclaimed series in one gift-ready package for UK readers. About the Books In A Case of Mice and Murder , barrister Gabriel Ward steps out on a sunny May morning in 1901 with his mind full of a dispute over the authorship of a bestselling children's book, only to stumble upon the body of the Lord Chief Justice of England on his doorstep, complete with a silver carving knife and oddly bare feet. In the Inner Temple, murder has stayed confined to the casebooks for centuries. Until now. The mystery continues in A Case of Life and Limb , where the Temple's calm is shattered by a series of unsettling parcels sent to Temple Treasurer Sir William Waring. As more packages arrive, each stranger than the last, and one proves fatal, Gabriel realises someone bears a grudge against the Temple itself. Working with Constable Wright of the City of London Police, Gabriel must identify the culprit before the body count rises, all while juggling a libel case for a rising theatrical star. Both novels are richly steeped in the history and eccentric charm of the Inner Temple, offering warmth, wit and genuine mystery in equal measure. Two full-length paperback mysteries in one great-value collection Immersive Edwardian setting rooted in real Inner Temple history A charming, unwilling detective readers have taken to their hearts Perfect for fans of Agatha Chr
