The Lindisfarne Riddles: An Evelyn Marsh Mystery
Some debts are never forgotten. Some records refuse to stay buried.
When Evelyn Marsh accompanies historian Edmund Vane to a historical gathering on the tidal island of Lindisfarne, she expects a quiet weekend among scholars and reenactors.
Instead, she finds a body.
Beside the victim lies a handwritten riddle in Old English.
As more riddles appear across the island-hidden among ruins, manuscripts, and ancient stonework-it becomes clear that someone is conducting a conversation decades in the making. Every clue points toward a bitter academic dispute, a career left in ruins, and a grievance that has been patiently nurtured for years.
The riddles are not random.
They form a sequence.
And Edmund Vane alone can read them.
Trapped by the tides and surrounded by suspects who share a passion for Anglo-Saxon history, Evelyn must uncover the truth before the final riddle is delivered.
Because the last riddle has only one answer.
And it names a living person.
The Lindisfarne Riddles is an atmospheric British mystery combining ancient secrets, scholarly rivalries, and a clever puzzle-driven investigation. Perfect for readers of Richard Osman, Elly Griffiths and Anthony Horowitz.
