Lorac, the pen name of the British writer Edith Caroline Rivett. It is the thirteenth in her long-running series featuring Chief Inspector MacDonald of Scotland Yard, a Golden Age detective who relies on standard police procedure to solve his cases. Lorac wrote it in the summer of 1936 while staying with her mother at Westward Ho! in North Devon. Originally published by Collins Crime Club, it was reissued in 2018 by the British Library Publishing as part of a group of crime novels from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. Reviewing it for the Times Literary Supplement, John Everard Gurdon noted \"The plot is intricate and the characterisation sure, with one exception. To identify that exception would be to anticipate the solution.\" while a later review in A Catalogue of Crime described it as \"An early Lorac and a disappointment\"."@en . . . . . . . . . .
