Death and Mary Dazill

'Is it wise to evoke these memories―to raise these ghosts―after all these years? After attending a burial in an old country churchyard, Superintendent Mallett and his friends are struck by the sight of two elderly ladies, regally dressed in black and accompanied by their uniformed chauffeur, placing an elaborate wreath on the graveyard's most imposing monument. The vicar confirms that the Misses de Boulter of Chetwode Lodge have placed a fresh wreath on their father’s and brother’s tomb every week for the last fifty years. In the opposite corner of the churchyard lies the small neglected grave of Mary Dazill. In flashbacks, we learn how everything goes wrong in the lives of two sisters when their father brings the enigmatic Mary Dazill home and proposes to marry her. Soon, murder ensues. A fatalistic mystery with the emotional echoes of a Greek tragedy. Mary Fitt was the pseudonym of Kathleen Freeman () a classical scholar who taught Greek at the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire in Cardiff. Starting in 1937, she wrote 27 mysteries and a number of short stories as Mary Fitt and was elected to the Detection Club in 1950. Aside from her detective novels, Freeman published many books on classical Greece, scholarly articles and children’s stories. She lived in St Mellons in Wales with her friend Dr Liliane Marie Catherine Clopet, a family physician, who wrote short stories and fairy tales.Author: Fitt, Mary,author Contributors: Fitt, Mary,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 173 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 1 Jul 2022 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Moonstone Press Author/Director/Artist: Mary Fitt Dimension (cm): 198x129x10 mm Package Dimension (cm): 19x195x130 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 180
