Angel with Two Faces by Nicola Upson

Angel with Two Faces by Nicola Upson

"As befits a tribute to the golden age of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers et. al., there are plot twists, plot turns and red herrings aplenty."

--Time Out London

Real-life British mystery writer Josephine Tey returns as a fictional sleuth in Angel with Two Faces--the second atmospheric mystery in Nicola Upson's wonderfully inventive series. In this riveting sequel to Expert in Murder, Tey, in league with intrepid policeman Detective Inspector Archie Penrose, is called upon to help unravel a dark and perplexing crime at a Cornwall country house and backstage at a local theater. Fans of P.D. James and of British noir in general will adore Angel with Two Faces--a traditional mystery with a twist--and this writer whom Ms. James herself calls, "A new and assured talent."

Nicola Upson has written five other Josephine Tey mysteries, including An Expert in Murder, as well as two nonfiction titles. She has worked as a freelance journalist and in the theater. She is a recipient of the Arts Council England's Escalator Award and divides her time between Cambridge and Cornwall.
