Summary

Dead Men's Morris Summary

Dead Men's Morris by Gladys Mitchell

A VINTAGE MURDER MYSTERY
Rediscover Gladys Mitchell - one of the 'Big Three' female crime fiction writers alongside Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers.

A dead solicitor, a suspicious pig-farmer and a local ghost disturb Mrs Bradley's holiday to Oxfordshire. Nothing is as it seems however, and the inimitable detective must work fast if she is to protect her nephew's household from a resourceful killer.

Opinionated, unconventional, unafraid... If you like Poirot and Miss Marple, you'll love Mrs Bradley.

Dead Men's Morris Reviews

The mark of a Mitchell mystery is to lead us into familiar territory, there to shatter illusions of predictability * Daily Mail *
Mrs Lestrange Bradley...is by far the best and most vital English female detective * Observer *
Superbly odd * Independent *

She graduated in history from University College London and in 1921 began her long career as a teacher. Her hobbies included architecture and writing poetry.

Her first novel, Speedy Death, was published in 1929 and introduced readers to Beatrice Adela Lestrange Bradley, the detective heroine of a further sixty six crime novels. She wrote at least one novel a year throughout her career and was an early member of the Detection Club, alongside Agatha Christie, G.K Chesterton and Dorothy Sayers.In 1961 she retired from teaching and, from her home in Dorset, continued to write, receiving the Crime Writers' Association Silver Dagger in 1976.
