St Peter's Finger Zusammenfassung

St Peter's Finger Gladys Mitchell

A VINTAGE MURDER MYSTERY
Rediscover Gladys Mitchell - one of the 'Big Three' female crime fiction writers alongside Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers.

Mrs Bradley, renowned psychologist and private detective, is summoned to the convent school of St Peter's Finger, where a girl's body has been found in a bathtub - did Ursula kill herself, or, as the nuns fear, is a murderer at large in the school?

Opinionated, unconventional, unafraid... If you like Poirot and Miss Marple, you'll love Mrs Bradley.

St Peter's Finger Bewertungen

St. Peter's Finger is the kind of book that gave Gladys Mitchell a reputation as one of England's best crime writers * United Press International *
There are many other good detective writers...there is Gladys Mitchell with her fascinating Mrs Bradley, ugly as a toad and armed with the latest up-to-date theories of psychology -- Agatha Christie * Guardian *
Easily the best woman detective in fiction * News Chronicle *

She graduated in history from University College London and in 1921 began her long career as a teacher. Her hobbies included architecture and writing poetry.

Her first novel, Speedy Death, was published in 1929 and introduced readers to Beatrice Adela Lestrange Bradley, the detective heroine of a further sixty six crime novels. She wrote at least one novel a year throughout her career and was an early member of the Detection Club, alongside Agatha Christie, G.K Chesterton and Dorothy Sayers.In 1961 she retired from teaching and, from her home in Dorset, continued to write, receiving the Crime Writers' Association Silver Dagger in 1976.
