Immerse yourself in the debut crime novel from bestselling author Harriet Evans, writing as Harriet F. Townson!
'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.
*** Readers already love Dora Wildwood! ***
'Witty, beautifully plotted and full of memorable characters. I for one can't wait to see what Dora does next. Highly recommended'
'The start of a new historical mystery series with a delightful protagonist, a deftly drawn cast and a well imagined backdrop'
'Oh my god this book! I want to inhale it. I want to live in it. I want to buy the rest of the series and read them all one after the other while feasting on peppermint creams'
'Absolutely delicious, a mash up of so many of my favourite things, with a heroine who has gone straight to the top of my list of favourite sleuths'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
*** And so do your favourite writers! ***
'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 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
'A glorious, stylish story of passion, poison and peril' LUCY DIAMOND
'What a world, what a plot, what a cast - a masterpiece!' VERONICA HENRY
