Sinopsis

&ldquo,He had his tea as usual, when I knocked at the door with the tray (he always had afternoon tea), I found him&mdash,like this.&rdquo, Dr Roger Lavington is dreading his debut performance with the village amateur dramatic society. But real-world drama takes over when Lavington&rsquo,s neighbour, a reclusive artist, is found murdered in his own sitting room. Also found on the scene are a lady&rsquo,s glove, a diamond ring, and a mysterious young woman who begs Lavington for his protection. Her safety will depend on her ability to take a role in the forthcoming village play&mdash,but is Lavington sheltering a wronged woman or a clever murderess? The Bungalow Mystery (1923) was the first of Annie Haynes&rsquo,s golden age crime novels, and announced a major talent. This new edition, the first in over eighty years, features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans. &ldquo,The ingredients in this story are skilfully mixed.&rdquo, Times &ldquo,Contrived and worked out with considerable craftsmanship&mdash,drawn with sympathy and power.&rdquo,áSunday Times &ldquo,Contains many cunning devices.&rdquo, Outlook &ldquo,The mystery is a real mystery.&rdquo, Guardian &ldquo,Plenty of mystery and drama.&rdquo, Queen &ldquo,This author has a sure hand at a crime story&hellip,strongly recommended to every type of novel reader.&rdquo, Liverpool Courier
