About the Author

Josephine Tey began to write full-time after the successful publication of her first novel, The Man in the Queue (1929), which introduced Inspector Grant of Scotland Yard. It wasn't until after the Second World War that the majority of her crime novels were published. Born in Inverness, Tey died in 1952, leaving her entire estate to the National Trust.

Reviews

Permanent classics in the detective field . . . no superlatives are adequate.
*New York Times*

An ingenious book ... The essential mystery is wonderfully established; the claustrophobic building-up of the apparently seamless case against the Sharpes is impeccably done.
*Sarah Waters*

A detective story with a very considerable difference. Ingenious, stimulating and very enjoyable.
*Sunday Times*

The perfect introduction to her world.
*Val McDermid*
