No Love LostFirst published by the World's Work 1954 |
Confronted by the desperately beautiful, terribly ill wife of her ex-lover, a jilted doctor could hardly be blamed for wishing the wife well out of the way. But it's not as simple as that in The Patient of Peacocks Hall.
In Safer than Love the headmaster of Buchanan House School disappears. His wife has been seen hobnobbing with an old flame, and the inhabitants of Tinworth begin to speculate. When the headmaster is found dead, it's the police's turn to speculate...
Margery Allingham's immortal wit and ingenuity are at their peak in these two novellas.
