About the Author
Elizabeth Ferrars 1907-1995 One of the most distinguished crime writers of her generation, Elizabeth Ferrars was born in Rangoon and came to Britain at the age of six. She was a pupil at Bedales school between 1918 and 1924, studied journalism at London University and published her first crime novel, Give a Corpse a Bad Name, in 1940, the year that she met her second husband, academic Robert Brown. Highly praised by critics, her brand of intelligent, gripping mysteries beloved by readers, she wrote over seventy novels and was also published (as E. X. Ferrars) in the States, where she was equally popular. Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine described her as as 'the writer who may be the closest of all to Christie in style, plotting and general milieu', and the Washington Post called her 'a consummate professional in clever plotting, characterization and atmosphere'. She was a founding member of the Crime Writer's Association, who, in the early 1980s, gave her a lifetime achievement award.
From AudioFile
English author Elizabeth Ferrars embarked on her career as a writer in l940, composing more than seventy novels until her death in l995. DOUBLY DEAD is one of her many crime stories. Hugh Walters proffers an exemplary reading of this mystery. Journalist Margot Dalziel is missing and later found murdered. The possibilities for her disappearance and subsequent death are numerous. Walters disperses the anxiety, fear and curiosity of relatives, friends and local villagers as the investigation advances. Individual voices resound with distinctness and plausibility, effecting pleasurable listening. B.J.L. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
