商品簡介
A Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger award-winning addition to the British Library Crime Classics
Agnes―hands bloodied, numb with fear, her world turned upside down― is the passenger in a car as it speeds down a road between miles of marshes and estuary flats. It's been thirty minutes since she "ran away" but it's unclear what she was fleeing. Meanwhile, the news of a girl found dead on the marsh is spreading around the local area and Agnes is sure that the girl's death is related to her own troubles. With her memories of the past few days skewed, will Agnes be able to piece together the clues and find the truth? A masterpiece of suspense, Mary Kelly's 1962 novel follows Agnes as she casts her mind back through the past few days to find the links between her husband, his friends, a mysterious stranger new to the village, and a case of unexplained death.
Gripping, intelligent and affecting, Due to a Death was nominated for the Gold Dagger Award and showcases the author's versatility and willingness to push the boundaries of the mystery genre. This edition includes an introduction by CWA Diamond Dagger Award-winning author Martin Edwards.
