DEATH OF AN AUTHOR (BRITISH LIBRARY CRIME FICTION) (PB)

In the British Library Crime Classics series, this novel is by E.C.R Lorac, a penname of Edith Caroline Rivett who was a prolific author of Golden Age mysteries publishing over 60 novels throughout the 1930s, 40s and 50s. She spins a twisting tale full of wry humour and red herrings, poking some fun at her contemporary reviewers who long suspected the Lorac pseudonym to belong to a man (since a woman could apparently not have written mysteries the way that she did).
