Death of an Author

In this engaging mystery by E. C. R. Lorac, celebrated author Vivian Lestrange has gone missing, prompting Inspector Bond and Warner from Scotland Yard to investigate alongside Lestrange's concerned secretary, Eleanor. As the plot unfolds, the duo encounters a seemingly fictional victim and a vanished housekeeper, all while navigating a labyrinth of wry humor and red herrings. The narrative cleverly critiques contemporary perceptions of female authorship in the mystery genre, challenging the notion that extraordinary mysteries could only be penned by men.
