Produktbeschreibung

THE VILLAGE was beautiful. It was enfolded in a hollow of the Downs, and wrapped up snugly— first, in a floral shawl of gardens, and then, in a great green shawl of fields. Lilies and lavender grew in abundance. Bees clustered over sweet-scented herbs with the hum of a myriad spinning-wheels.

Her oeuvre often showcases a blend of tightly woven plots and rich character development, earning her a distinguished place amongst the foremost writers of suspense fiction during the early twentieth century.
