Synopsis

Rediscover Gladys Mitchell – one of the 'Big Three' female crime fiction writers alongside Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers.

Europe is on the brink of war, but as the quiet village of Willington braces itself for bloodshed overseas, a killer strikes much closer to home. But what connects the murder of an escaped asylum patient, a local councillor and a young volunteer at the village’s air raid patrol centre? Only the exceptional Mrs Bradley, psychoanalyst and celebrated detective, can uncover the truth.

Opinionated, unconventional, unafraid... If you like Poirot and Miss Marple, you’ll love Mrs Bradley.

About this title

Review:

"There are many other good detective writers...there is Gladys Mitchell with her fascinating Mrs Bradley, ugly as a toad and armed with the latest up-to-date theories of psychology" (Agatha Christie Guardian)

"Crime writing's best kept secret" (Scotsman)

"Gladys Mitchell can always be relied upon for a packed and meaty novel, and an intelligent one at that" (Guardian)

"Easily the best woman detective in fiction" (News Chronicle)

From the Publisher:

Originally published in 1940, this classic detective novel from the Golden Age of Crime Fiction, has been out of print for many decades, and has always been one of the most eagerly collected of all of Gladys Mitchell's sixty-six Mrs. Bradley stories. It is reissued here, in a limited edition in hardback, by Minnow Press, as the first volume in their forthcoming Mrs. Bradley Collector's Series.
