| book description |

â€œYou have to reach for the greatest of the Great Names (Agatha Christie, John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen) to find Christianna Brandâ€˜s rivals in the subtleties of the trade.â€ â€“ Anthony Boucher in the New York Times Night falls in the capital, and a â€œLondon particularâ€ pea-souper fog envelops the city. In Maida Vale, Rose and her family doctor Tedwards struggle through the dark after a man has telephoned from Roseâ€™s house, claiming to have been attacked. By the time they arrive the victim, Raoul Vernet, is dead. The news he brought from Switzerland for Roseâ€™s mother has died with him. Arriving to the scene, Inspector Cockrill faces a fiendish case with seven suspects who could have murdered their guest â€“ family members and friends with alibis muddled by the suffocating fog and motives wrapped in mystery. Now, the race is on to find the truth before the killer strikes again. First published in 1952, London Particular was Brandâ€™s favourite among her own books, and it remains a fast-paced and witty masterpiece of the genre, showing off the authorâ€™s signature flair for the ruthless twist.
