He was elderly after all. But Penhallow wasn t well liked. He had ruled over his estate with an iron will and a sharp tongue. He had played one relative off against another. He was so bad tempered and mean that both his servants and his family hated him.It soon transpires that far from being a peaceful death, Penhallow was, in fact, murdered. Poisoned. With his family gathered to celebrate his birthday, and servants that both feared and despised him, there are more than a dozen prime suspects. But which one of them turned hatred into murder?_____________Readers love Penhallow . . .***** Full of fascinating characters and plenty of vivid description - this one surprised me and actually made me cry! ***** Penhallow is one of my favourite Georgette Heyer novels. ***** A real tour-de-force. ***** Pure genius! ***** Second read, another 5 stars. An original and highly suspenseful mystery, nothing like anything else I have ever read.

Mnoha lidem připadá její chování pobuřující. Ani Charlesovi, jejímu bratranci, se chování této mladé slečny ze začátku příliš nelíbí. Člověk však míní a život mění… NENÍ TO TYPICKÁ MLADÁ ŠLECHTIČNA, JE TO SOPHIE… … dívka, kterou vychoval svobodomyslný otec sir Horace Stanton-Lacy. Jeho dcera proto nemá s ostatními slečnami ze svého okolí příliš společného. Nedbá totiž na zažité konvence a nepředstírá slabost a poddajnost, tak typické pro mladou dámu. Naopak se vždycky snaží prosadit svou, a co jí nechybí především, je smysl pro humor. Její chování je mnohým trnem v oku, a některé přímo pobuřuje! Ani Charles, její bratranec, z ní není kdovíjak nadšený. Člověk však míní a život mění… Ze čtenářských ohlasů: „Bylo to vtipné, duchaplné, poutavé, prostě úžasné!“ „Od chvíle, kdy se Sophie objeví na scéně, víte, že vás čeká zábavné čtení!“ „Skvělá kniha – Sophie je vtipná a rozkošná.

This anthology of rare stories of crime and suspense brings together 16 tales by masters of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction for the first time in book form, including a newly discovered Agatha Christie crime story that has not been seen since 1922.At a time when crime and thriller writing has once again overtaken the sales of general and literary fiction, Bodies from the Library unearths lost stories from the Golden Age, that period between the World Wars when detective fiction captured the publicâ ™s imagination and saw the emergence of some of the worldâ ™s cleverest and most popular storytellers.This anthology brings together 16 forgotten tales that have either been published only once before â “ perhaps in a newspaper or rare magazine â “ or have never before appeared in print. From a previously unpublished 1917 script featuring Ernest Bramahâ ™s blind detective Max Carrados, to early 1950s crime stories written for Londonâ ™s Evening Standard by Cyril Hare, Freeman Wills Crofts and A.A. Milne, it spans five decades of writing by masters of the Golden Age.Most anticipated of all are the contributions by women writers: the first detective story by Georgette Heyer, unseen since 1923; an unpublished story by Christianna Brand, creator of Nanny McPhee; and a dark tale by Agatha Christie published only in an Australian journal in 1922 during her â ˜Grand Tourâ ™ of the British Empire.With other stories by Detection Club stalwarts Anthony Berkeley, H.C. Bailey, J.J. Connington, John Rhode and Nicholas Blake, plus Vincent Cornier, Leo Bruce, Roy Vickers and Arthur Upfield, this essential collection harks back to a time before forensic science â “ when murder was a complex business.
