Josephine Tey was a superb writer, especially mysteries set in England. Her books don't ever seem 'dated', the characters she creates come to life in full color, and her plots always interesting. This is one of my favorites. If you've never read her, or even heard of her, consider trying one!

This is a fabulous read, intricate plot, excellent characterizations

I am pleased at how well my book has turned out, with color photos, paintings and maps. Please let me know how you like it.
