Inhaltsangabe

The third volume of the bestselling Hampstead Murders sees the team become involved with a suspicious death at a crime writers' convention. Is this the result of a bitterly contested election for the Chair of the Crime Writers' Association or are even darker forces at work? Peter Collins, who is attending the convention as the author of a new book on poisoning in Golden Age fiction, worries that the key clue to unlock this puzzle may be buried within his own memories. A character called Miss Marple offers her advice, but how should the police receive this? Meanwhile an act of sudden, shocking violence and a dramatic revelation threaten tragic consequences...

Críticas:

'Mr Fraser-Sampson has presented readers with a neatly lacquered puzzle-box filled with golden-age trickery, as warm and timeless as crumpets and honey; a murder to curl up by the fire with on a winter's night.' --Christopher Fowler, bestselling author of the Bryant and May mysteries; 'comfortingly old school crime fiction with a modern twist' --Chris Brookmyre, bestselling thriller writer; 'Classy and sophisticated ... if you thought the Golden Age of crime writing was dead, then read this.' --Ruth Dugdall, CWA Debut Dagger Winner
