The Willoughby Papers

---

From time to time, while working through archives and historical records, one encounters something that does not quite sit comfortably in the narrative as it has been handed down.

Not an outright contradiction, history is rarely so obliging but a small inconsistency. A detail that has been smoothed over. A conclusion accepted perhaps a little too readily.

It is from such moments that The Willoughby Papers has grown.

I am pleased to announce the launch of this new historical mystery series, following H. A. Willoughby, an English antiquarian whose research brings him into contact with documents and discoveries that suggest the past may not always be quite as settled as it appears.
