Very British, Very Scary

Mignon Warner's sharp-tongued, upper class British attitude (and obvious love of classic mysteries) sets the stage for this compelling "who dunnit".Nigel Playford and his man-eating sister, Cynthia, make their way to a magician's convention at a gothic seaside resort in Wales, only to succeed in getting Cynthia murdered. Deliciously evil charachters, disturbing dirty secrets, and a ghoulish atmosphere make this novel a brilliant and captivating mystery/thriller. Warner's dry humor and scathing wit make "Death In Time" all the more enjoyable.Mrs. Charles (a.k.a. Madame Adele Herrmann) is not only the resident professional psychic, but also floors the police detectives with her not-so-amateur sleuthing skills. "Death In Time" is one in a series of Mrs. Charles mysteries. Classic Mystery fans are sure to love the Psychic-Sleuth with her strong will and uncanny perceptiveness.
