About this ebook
'Highly original and elegantly-written ... The first of what promises to be a distinguished series.' P.D. James
Death is not a rehearsal...
It's March 1934, and Golden Age crime writer Josephine Tey is travelling from Scotland to London to celebrate what should be the triumphant final week of her celebrated play, Richard of Bordeaux. However, a seemingly senseless murder puts her reputation, and even her life, under threat. An Expert in Murder is both a tribute to one of the most enduringly popular writers of crime and an atmospheric detective novel in its own right.

I didn't expect to like this book so I was surprised at what a good read it was. Ingenious thriller with fascinating insight into the west end theatre of the 1930's.
