Out of print for two decades, we're delighted to be able to bring you more classic mysteries from the Queen of Crime, Margery Allingham...
Deadly Duo, two superb novellas of murder, mystery and deceit – Wanted: Someone Innocent and Last Act.
Wanted: Someone Innocent, follows the impoverished Miss Gillian Brayton, whose luck begins to change when a school reunion reacquaints her with a now-famous old friend, Rita Fayre. When Rita offers her a job she accepts immediately and is swept away in Rita's Rolls Royce to what she expects will be a glamorous new life as nurse to a wounded war hero. The reality, however, is less than luxurious. Ignored by the staff, overwhelmed by the work, Gillian is sure things can't get any worse. Until, that is, Rita is found dead...
In Last Act, Margot Rob, an aging French actress has taken up residence in a British country home along with her servants, two grandsons and a young woman she has taken on as her ward.
When she turns up dead there are no shortage of suspects. The grandson who, rumour has it, was about to be disinherited or the long time servant fed up of catering to the eccentric actress requests?
But in a country home murder, there's always more than one suspect.... so who killed Margot Rob?
