"Ambling along the lanes of a sleepy village in the Downs, passing cozy Tudor cottages rustling with wisteria, a novelist imagines the sordid truth hidden behind the quaint, rustic facade. Her musings are confirmed when a spate of anonymous poison pen letters shocks the community, turning neighbor against neighbor and embroiling everyone from the rector and the "queen of the village" Decima Asprey to the high-born Scudamores.

Revelling in the wickedness that lies beneath the idyllic veneer of village life, White's 1932 mystery is inventive and a village mystery classic"--

Autorenporträt
ETHEL LINA WHITE (1876-1944) was an author from Abergavenny whose novels and short stories in the crime, suspense and horror genres were immensely popular during the 1930s and 1940s. Though she remains best-known as the writer of The Wheel Spins, she was an influential figure in the Golden Age of crime fiction whose reputation, in her heyday, rivalled those of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers.
