Murder at Fenwold

Autor Christopher Bush
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 oct 2017
"And that's not all. Somers is dead too … He poisoned himself … in the lounge!" When the wealthy Cosmo Revere is killed by a falling tree, ex-CID officer John Franklin and Ludovic Travers chance to be staying in the vicinity. After examining the scene Franklin determines it was no accident. At the family lawyer's request Franklin and Travers go undercover at Fenwold Hall, where the dramatis personae, among others, include a bewitching niece, a blustering colonel, and a vicar with a passion for amateur theatricals. Fenwold is a country house beset by secrets … and devious murder. Murder at Fenwold was originally published in 1930. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans. "A cleverly plotted tale of murder … in rural England." Dashiell Hammett "It is always a pleasure to read a really complicated detective story and Murder at Fenwold fully deserves a place in this category." Spectator

Notă biografică

Christopher Bush was born Charlie Christmas Bush in Norfolk in 1885. His father was a farm labourer and his mother a milliner. In the early years of his childhood he lived with his aunt and uncle in London before returning to Norfolk aged seven, later winning a scholarship to Thetford Grammar School. As an adult, Bush worked as a schoolmaster for 27 years, pausing only to fight in World War One, until retiring aged 46 in 1931 to be a full-time novelist. His first novel featuring the eccentric Ludovic Travers was published in 1926, and was followed by 62 additional Travers mysteries. These are all to be republished by Dean Street Press. Christopher Bush fought again in World War Two, and was elected a member of the prestigious Detection Club. He died in 1973.
