概要
'A little bit Margery Allingham with hints of Mitford, definite tones of Eva Ibbotson and as delightful as I Capture the Castle, D is for Death is an instant classic. I loved it so much' MARIAN KEYES
'I absolutely loved D is for Death - mischievous and Mitford-esque and tender' ALEX HAY

1935. Dora'son the first train to London, having smuggled herself out of the house in the middle of the night to escape her impending marriage. But unluckily for her, Dora's fiance is more persistent than most and follows.

As Dora alights at Paddington station, she is immediately forced to run from the loathsome Charles Silk-Butters. She ducks into the London Library to hide and it is there, surrounded by books, where she should feel most safe, that Dora Wildwood stumbles across her first dead body.

Having been thrown into the middle of a murder scene, it's now impossible to walk away. Indeed, Dora's certain she will prove an invaluable help to the gruff Detective Inspector Fox who swiftly arrives on the scene. For as everyone knows, it's the woman in the room who always sees more than anyone else: and no one more so than Dora herself...

D is for Death heralds the launch of a brilliant historical crime series that marries the quality of Dorothy L. Sayers with the ingenuity of Janice Hallett - and in Dora Wildwood introduces a character with the spark and gusto of Enola Holmes and the detective skill of Miss Marple.©2024 Venetia Books Ltd

批評家のレビュー

A little bit Margery Allingham with hints of Mitford, definite tones of Eva Ibbotson and as delightful as I Capture the Castle, D is for Death is an instant classic. I loved it so much (Marian Keyes)
A fun, charming mystery with a brilliant heroine you'll fall in love with!
I am now a Dora addict ... so wonderful (Natasha Poliszczuk)
This isn't your average cosy crime novel. With an Agatha Christie-esque murder mystery and a perceptive, hugely likeable amateur sleuth to guide the way, this is an entertaining and nostalgic whodunnit with vivid period detail
A brilliant whodunnit
A charming and authentic ode to Golden Age crime fiction and to books in general. In a genre replete with world-weary cynicism, Dora Wildwood makes for an endearingly optimistic feminist sleuth (Chris Brookmyre)
An absolute delight, perfect for fans of classic crime
A charming, beautifully crafted pastiche of the 1930s crime novels of Dorothy L. Sayers and Agatha Christie, with an Enola Holmes/Miss Marple-like heroine in Dora
A glorious, stylish story of passion, poison and peril (Lucy Diamond)
What a world, what a plot, what a cast - a masterpiece! (Veronica Henry)
So good and funny . . . bristling with loveable characters (Laura Wood)
Funny, gripping and full of great period detail and distinctive characters, particularly the quirky and loveable Dora (Fanny Blake)
A passionate and surprisingly emotional love letter to the golden age of crime and all the good things in life
A glorious plot, brimming with charming and endearing characters, this novel is a joy
Fun new crime series
