Overture to Death (1939)

My review:
Map of Pen Cuckoo.
Her masterpiece. The murder by exploding piano is splendid; the plot adntimetable complex; and the characterisation superb, especially of middle-aged lovelorn females. The murderer can be spotted before the end—but what a murderer! The solution is brilliantly clued, and the reader will want to kick himself when he guesses the truth about the onion.
