Award-winning children’s author Ross Montgomery wrote a killer read for grownups after getting inspired by Halley’s comet trip over Cornwall in 1910. Deploying the humor and criminal elements he gleaned from watching Clue as a kid, The Murder at World’s End delivers a plot twister of a mystery when servants and family members and scientists and lunatics converge at Tithe Hall in anticipation of the apocalypse. Ross discusses his passion for obscure history, the pleasure he got writing for an adult audience (no censoring the swear words!), and the challenges he faced while devising a locked-room mystery from a servant’s POV. Bonus: insights into his favorite and most despised characters (and who inspired them!) and a sneak peek at what’s next for Miss Decima Stockingham and Stephen Pike.
