From the cover: "For fifty years Patricia Wentworth made the British mystery synonymous with clever, but chilling, crimes of greed and passion."
Wentworth was the contemporary of Agatha Christie, and, at the time, they were considered equals at writing mysteries.
However, Wentworth was forgotten until her books were republished. They are amazing.
Whereas in Christie's book, you often knew the Why and often the How, you didn't know the Who until near the end. In Wentworth's books, you know the Who almost from the start, the Why comes a little later, but it is the How which keeps you reading until the climax.
