Mad Hatter's Holiday

In Brighton, 1882, Albert Moscrop spends his holiday observing beachgoers through a telescope, turning mundane sights into an intriguing narrative. His fascination centers on the Prothero family, particularly the captivating Zena Prothero, who seems unappreciated by her husband. As Moscrop integrates himself into their lives, a shocking murder rocks the community, prompting local authorities to enlist the help of Scotland Yard’s Sergeant Cribb and Constable Thackeray, who face an unusually perplexing and macabre investigation.
