Inhaltsangabe

She could imagine the headlines all too well... DEATH ON POSSETT ISLAND Well-known Playwright Found Dead on Christmas Tree. Dimpson McCabe - Dimpsie - has invited all of his closest friends of the theatre world to join him for Christmas at his castle on a private island some hours' drive from Edinburgh. The festivities have barely had a chance to begin when poor Dimpsie is found draped atop the Christmas tree, electrocuted by the lights with which it is festooned. The Sherriff's Court yields a verdict of Accidental Death, but in the swirling snow suspicion is dancing among the flakes. Through Dimpsie's cadre of directors, producers, actors and agents runs a hot streak of hidden grievances and theatrical scheming, and as the group return to London the dogged Inspector Smith begins to circle, seeking to find the leading man or prima donna responsible for this ghoulish crime. First published in 1948 and lost for over 75 years, this lost Christmas novel returns to bedazzle a fresh audience of mystery-lovers.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Elizabeth Anthony was the pen name of Barbara Rubien, nee Courlander (1906-1996), an author, pianist and composer who wrote two classic crime novels: Dramatic Murder (1948) and Made for Murder (1950). While Barbara's sister Nancy Courlander - who wrote as Shelley Smith - remains famous today, the Elizabeth Anthony books have been lost since their first publication - until now.
