Spotlights focused on the Abbey buildings. The air held a piece of silver moon. An oboe blew a soft pure note. Clear young voices broke into a madrigal... ...listening, in mellow mood, Max Maunciple drank just one gin too many. And died. An egotist, a blackmailer, no-one mourned for Maunciple. But one person did not believe that alcohol was the only poison that poisonous man had imbibed. And when Penny Wanawake seeks the Truth, the Truth, however elusive, gets dragged kick- ing and screaming into the open. Penny Dreadful is the second in the series of Penny Wanawake Mysteries

Autorenporträt
Susan Moody began writing crime novels with Penny Black, the first of the seven Penny Wanawake crime novels. Her first acclaimed suspense novel was Playing With Fire, and was followed with equal success by Hushaby, House of Moons, and The Italian Garden. All of them were translated in several languages. Takeout Double, the first of the Cassandra Swann series, was published in 1993, and followed by Grand Slam, King of hearts, Doubled in Spades, Sacrifice Bid and Dummy Hand. Susan has also written a number of short stories. Susan achieved a long-standing ambition to produce a best-seller, with Love Over Gold, the story of the Gold Blend coffee couple! This sold nearly 200,000 copies world wide and made the Sunday Times best-seller list. It was unfortunate that she chose to write it under a pseudonym.

In 2000, she published The Colour of Hope, which was phenomenally successful and sold in 20 different Countries. Since then she has published Dancing In the Dark and Losing Nicola.
