From 1950 to 1953 Hibbert wrote four novels as "Elbur Ford", a pen name derived from her maiden name, Eleanor Burford. These novels were based on real-life murderers of the nineteenth century: Edward William Pritchard ("Flesh and the Devil", 1950); Adelaide Bartlett ("Poison in Pimlico", 1950); Euphrasie Mercier ("The Bed Disturbed", 1952) and Constance Kent ("Such Bitter Business", 1953 – published in the U.S. in 1954 under the title "Evil in the House").
