Speedy Death (Black Dagger Crimes)
"She is one of the Big Three women detective writers" —Observer"Begins like a parody of a country house murder. But you soon see that the author means the jokes, and also develops both a tricky mystery and a quite solid argument about crime and its disruption of society. Then she brings it all to a head in a very remarkable conclusion. From the start, Mitchell was outstanding." —Glasgow Herald"A crime writer who, in her day, ranked with Christie and Sayers" —Daily Mail"Extremely well constructed story of murder and detection...Mrs Bradley is the prize piece" —Daily News"Gladys Mitchell can always be relied upon for a packed and meaty novel, and an intelligent one at that" —Guardian--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
