I was privileged to meet P.D.James briefly when she did a talk at Goldsmiths College about the creative process and planning behind her detective novels. Her stature was small and slim. You would walk right past her in the street and think nothing of her. Yet the dogged determination to write in a genre that was male-dominated then was incredible and inspiring.

Josephine TEY, Miss Pym Disposes.

Par l'autrice de "Daughter of Time," sans doute le meilleur roman policier classique jamais écrit (si vous ne l'avez pas lu, foncez ! - "La Fille du temps", jadis publié chez 10/18) .

“The #detective in this series is almost a pastiche of #SherlockHolmes, but what makes it so brilliant is that #RexStout merged the classic British #mystery with the American #hard-boiled.” fivebooks.com/best-books/2... #books #BookSky #detectivenovels

The Best 20th-Century American...

I've just finished Josephine Tey's "The Franchise Affair" and have been struck by its conservatism. This excellent Sarah Waters essay spotlights some of the fears and resentments seething in the book.

I would recommend "The Franchise Affair" not just as a gripping detective story but also as an insight into the post WW2 Tory mind.

I love the way she shifts perspectives between the best friend & colleague of the victim, the detective and the best friend´s teenage daughter. And then she has invented a Victorian ghost story author and written a ghost story supposedly by him, which she uses as an essential background to the plot. I love it 🙂
