An Exhibition of Murder

Former Scotland Yard investigator Jasper is back on the case, this time in the glamorous and cultured city of Vienna.

The opening of an archaeological exhibition brings with it intrigue and evil as a fabled cursed golden death mask lives up to its dark past and death strikes at the exhibition. While digging up pieces of history, these archaeologists have also been burying secrets – deadly ones – and it’s up to Jasper to uncover the truth before the murderer strikes again. 

With a nosy journalist desperate to breathe life into the rumour that the mask brings bad luck to anyone possessing it, and the police eager to blame a famous cat burglar who recently pulled off a string of daring robberies, Jasper is on his own in bringing the true culprit to light. 

Fans of Agatha Christie and Robert Thorogood will love this fourth book in the Murder Will Follow series.

Praise for Under the Guise of Death:

“Conroy clearly has great fun playing with the tropes of Golden Age Detective Fiction while  creating a sense of the lavish ambiance of 1920s Venice.”

“If you enjoy murder mysteries written in a style similar to Agatha Christie, look no further -  Vivian Conroy is her contemporary equivalent!"

"This is an engrossing read, a page turner to keep you guessing until all the suspects are brought together for the denouement which is classic Christie in style!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and have no hesitation in highly recommending it to anyone who enjoys historical murder mysteries.”
