Death on a Quiet Day Zusammenfassung

Death on a Quiet Day Michael Innes

David realised that he had tumbled in upon something that was not merely a mess... He had tumbled in upon a mystery.
Desperate for some time away from his rowdy peers, David Henchman heads out of Oxford for a hike across Dartmoor. Relishing the peace and quiet, the last thing David expects to find at the top of Knack Tor is a dead body.
Positioned with a gun in his hand and a bullet hole in his forehead, David assumes the shot was self-inflicted. But when somebody else ambles up the steep tor, David has second thoughts.
And when shots ring out, David finds himself fleeing for his life across the wild moors. Will Appleby be able to find David before it's too late - or will he be the next victim in this deadly game of cat and mouse?

Death on a Quiet Day was first published as Appleby Plays Chicken in 1956.

Death on a Quiet Day Bewertungen

Mr. Innes is in a class by himself among detective story writers. -- Times Literary Supplement
A faultless Appleby novel and strongly recommend it. -- Amazon Reviewer
It was a fantastic, old-style murder with twist after twist - a profoundly satisfying read that makes me wonder how many more undiscovered gems there are in this genre from this period. -- Amazon Reviewer
As with other Appleby books that I have read the writing and storytelling are brilliant and engaging and Death on a Quiet Day is definitely recommended -- Amazon Reviewer
A fast-paced adventure, laced with erudition and dry humour. A most enjoyable read. -- Amazon Reviewer

Über Michael Innes

Michael Innes is the pseudonym of John Innes Mackintosh Stewart (30 September 1906 - 12 November 1994). Innes was a Scottish novelist and academic. He is equally well known for the works of literary criticism and contemporary novels published under his real name and for the crime fiction published under his pseudonym. Many devotees of the Innes books were unaware of his other identity, and vice versa.

Innes published nearly fifty crime novels and short story collections in his lifetime, but is best known for creating Detective Inspector Sir John Appleby of Scotland Yard, who eventually through the course of the later novels becomes Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.

He attended Edinburgh Academy, and later studied English literature at Oriel College, Oxford. Having lectured in English at the University of Leeds from 1930 to 1935, he would then become Jury Professor of English in the University of Adelaide, South Australia. Once he returned to the United Kingdom he lectured at Queens, Belfast from 1946 to 1948. In 1949 he became a Student (Fellow) of Christ Church, Oxford. By the time of his retirement in 1973, he was a professor of the university. He died in Coulsdon.
