Complex and clever mystery written in 1936!
by E.C.R. Lorac. Introduction by Martin Edwards.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ruth Surray comes from a family of intectuals, each in their own way special. Ruth is a “literary novelist” already making a name for herself.
When Ruth suicides, the family is bereft. However, after her death her brother Richard, a psychologist, receives a chatty letter detailing her future plans.
Richard is suspicious and an investigation is re opened into Ruth’s death. That’s when strange and deadly things happen An interesting cast, Inspector MacDonald being one!
I really enjoyed Martin Edwards’ introduction discussing Lorac’s writing style and comments on aspects such as the literary world of the time and the further character development of MacDonald.
This crime novel certainly has stood the test of time!
